Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who is known by some simply as Kate Middleton, is a woman of many hats. While she spends her days bringing awareness to worthy causes and attending royal functions , she also garners an extraordinary amount of attention for her fashion choices. Whether Kate was playing with her son, Prince George, or showing off her new daughter, Princess Charlotte, Kate always did it in style in 2015.
Before we welcome in 2016, take a look back at the royals' best looks and fashion moments of the year.

During her final appearance before maternity leave, Kate wore a shockingly pink coat — perhaps an ode to her baby’s gender, which she kept a secret prior to delivery — to XLP Mobile recording studio in London March 27. The Mulberry creation had the expectant Duchess looking perfect in pink.

She wore a Jenny Packham white and yellow silk, shift dress.
