Kate, Princess of Wales, 41, chose a red, tweed jacket for representative duties in Kent, Great Britain. The classic jacket has a double-breasted button with a golden decorative button and sharp shoulder pads.

Right off the bat, you wouldn’t believe that the jacket was part of the Spanish fast fashion giant Zara’s range.
