While she's become known for recycling her royal outfits, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton just debuted two new looks you'll want to wear into the fall. 

Alongside Prince Harry and husband Prince William, the mother of two arrived at the Thiepval Memorial in France Thursday night donning an eye-catching grey chevron coat designed by Missoni.

While she is a royal, the jacket added a pinch of movie star Hollywood glamour to the look along with a black velvet pillbox hat akin to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Middleton paired the jacket, which retails for 2,900 pounds, with a pair of pearl statement earrings, velvet black pumps and a sleek black clutch. 

While it may be a bit too hot in most places in the United States for a full length coat, it was the perfect outfit for an evening vigil in honor of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. The royal siblings and the duchess paid tribute to over 70,000 missing servicemen who died in the battle and have no grave.

Kate switched out the Hollywood glamour for elements of her traditional English style on Friday, sporting a lace cream frock adorned with a Peter Pan collar, dark contrast underlay and a subtle peplum waist. However, nothing was more quintessential Catherine than her statement fascinator—a Philip Treacy black hat she's sported a handful of times before. 

For a dash of color and sentiment, the Duchess of Cambridge sported a poppy and cornflower by her shoulder, as both flowers grew in the war-torn areas. 

The royal stood out among the sea of dark suits at the memorial service at Thiepval as she and William joined the country's President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron and William's father, Charles, Prince of Wales, to pay their respects on the centennial anniversary.
