Does she have a new makeup artist ?  I don't remember seeing her brows that thick...

 

Color of the day, suit and hat, looks beautiful.  Too many jeweled buttons scream for attention though.

I'm not a fan of this look...at all. It looks really cheap, but I know it's not a cheap outfit....but it definitely has a tacky, cheap vibe to my eyes.

She always looks great but I'm not sure I would have worn the yellow gold brooch with that abundance of white metal on her outfit.  The buttons are silver toned and the earrings are set in either platinum or white gold.  I see nothing wrong with mixing metals most of the time, but i don't care for it here.

Today's Trooping the Colour ceremony is not only the first birthday parade held in King Charles's honor, but also Kate's first as the Princess of Wales.

Princess Kate made her debut at the grand procession in a gorgeous green coat dress with a row of bold bejeweled buttons in the front by Singapore-born, Paris-based designer Andrew GN.

 

Her unexpected choice in designer seemingly was a tribute to her husband Prince William, whose upcoming Earthshot Prize Ceremony will be held in Singapore later this year, while the color green was a nod to her new colonelcy of the Irish Guards (as was her gold Cartier shamrock brooch). 

 

Kate completed her look with a matching Philip Treacy hat and sapphire and diamond drop earrings that previously belonged to Princess Diana. She pulled her sleek brunette hair back into a low-slung bun, and paired her smoky eye makeup with a soft pink lip.

Complementing their mom's emerald-colored dress, the Wales children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — all included red details in their outfits, with George and Louis sporting red ties and Charlotte opting for a white long-sleeved dress with crimson-hued piping and a matching bow.

I think it’s stunning, and I like her make up. I am not a fan of thin eyebrows.

Yes she is a very beautiful, stylish and elegant woman!  They couldn't select a more perfect woman to play the role if they ever have a movie about a classy Princess of Wales.

Your comment surprised me.  What is it about the look that screams "cheap" to you?  I think the color, the design, the accessories are well done.  Better than well done.  Outstanding.  "Cheap" was the last impression I had when I saw the photos posted.

Her brows make her look more youthful. That color looks great on her.

@maximillian @Normally, I love her looks, but I see this one as a big miss. My first thought was that her outfit looked like something hanging on a super reduced rack at Macys in a "cheap clothes" section. The buttons are hideous and the color is very cheap looking....kind of gaudy. The fabric looks like a cheap, hot polyester. The hat is not elegant at all. I understand we all look at these things differently- but I'm just being honest here. I think it was an unfortunate choice.
