Her coat is by an unnamed British designer and her hat is by milliner Jane Corbett, according to the Daily Mail. She also donned black platform pumps and drop earrings.
This was Kate's first Christmas as a member of the royal family. She and husband Prince William joined the royals for their traditional celebration at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth II's estate in Norfolk, England.

Well-wishers lined up to watch as the couple and other members of the royal family - including Prince Charles and Camilla, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and newlyweds Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall - walked to and from the private service, held at St. Mary Magdalene Church on the grounds of the estate. The queen reportedly traveled by car.
Not present for the holiday festivities was the monach's husband, Prince Philip. The 90-year-old Duke of Edinburgh remains hospitalized as he recovers following treatment for a blocked coronary artery. He underwent a successful coronary stent procedure after complaining of chest pains on Friday, and is said to be in good spirits.
