Once again, Kate Middleton looked pretty in pink!
On January 26, the Prince and Princess of Wales stopped by Windsor Foodshare for a community-filled day. Instead of dressing in her typical winter uniform — a neutral turtleneck dress — she caught us all by surprise. Kate opted for a hot pink turtleneck sweater and matching pink coat.
She styled her jacket and shirt, which were a bit more red than the typical Barbiecore shade, with a pair of black slacks, some coordinating heels, and a pair of gold hoop earrings.

Barbiecore pink has been a well-received color among A-listers lately, and now the Princess, too. (Although this isn't the first time Kate's worn pink.) Back in December, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a V-neck sweater in the brilliant shade and Selena Gomez wore an off-the-shoulder sweater in Valentino pink. And now, stars are even branching out into lighter pinks, too. Jennifer Lopez recently wore a bubblegum-colored dress while promoting her new movie Shotgun Wedding.

The art of layering can be tricky. If you have too many layers on, you could overheat; but if you have too few layers, you may be extra cold. Skip the entire dilemma and opt for this sleeveless turtleneck sweater that will keep you at an optimal temperature.
It's "perfect for under blazers," one shopper said, but many also wear it alone or under jackets because it's less bulky. For just under $24, there are 44 colors and styles available, and some even have half-sleeves.

In classic Kate fashion, she threw on a single-breasted coat in the bright shade, so naturally, you need one, too. For $65 off, you can snag this longline coat from River Island that is just as pink as Kate's, and perhaps, even more fun with some extra charming touches, like pleated sleeves. It also comes in red — another coat color we've seen on Kate.
