Princess Kate has made a switch in her fashion choices after sending a message to Victoria Beckham.
The Princess of Wales made a glamorous appearance at the HMS Glasgow naming ceremony in Scotland on Thursday.
The 43-year-old royal wore a £1,850 navy blue coat dress by Suzannah London, marking a notable departure from her recent trouser suit looks.
For most of her day-to-day engagements this year, Kate has worn smart trouser suits, including an outing to the 180 Studios last week.

By wearing this design, many believed the Princess of Wales was sending a message of support to Posh Spice.
Princess Kate also wore a trouser suit to the National Portrait Gallery for a royal outing in February.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales arrived at BAE Systems' shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow, alongside her husband, Prince William.
