Fact: Kate Middleton never looks anything less than flawless. But I think we can all agree that the Duchess is having something of a fashion 'moment' right now. From attending royal engagements dressed like a fashion editor to sporting chic power suits, there's no shortage of sartorial inspo from Kate recently. And her latest outfit is one of her best yet.

Kate stepped out at London's Waterloo Station and St. Bartholomew's Hospital yesterday for the launch of the 'Hold Still' photography exhibition and, honestly, her look is on point. For the occasion, Kate donned a rich red overcoat by her preferred British designer, Alexander McQueen, which she then accessorised with the perfect minimalist bag, Grace Han's 'Love Letter' design, and a pair of matching block-heel black pumps.

Of course, it being 2020, the Duchess wore a mask when required and the whole thing is a total vibe. Check out Kate's show-stopping 'fit in full here:

Her hair, that smile - I'm obsessed. This is the perfect balance of classy and understated chic. The coat catches the eye while the paired-back accessories perfectly complement the ensemble so that it's not 'too much'.

Here's a close up of her perfect blow out and low-key jewellery situation:
