The Princess of Wales combined simplicity and glamor while pairing a chic Zara jacket with a gold necklace for her visit to BBC News beat from Radio 1.
Kate, 40, wore a cream blazer, which was reduced to £25.99 from £55.99 when she joined Prince William to record a special episode of the news program.
She paired the simple piece with a £234 gold chain with a Laura Lombardi heart pendant, which was bolder than her typical jewellery.

The princess completed the look with a simple cream top and dark pants as she joined Prince William in the studio for the shoot.
The royal became an interviewer to speak to four young people on World Mental Health Day.
As a mother of three, Kate spoke to the youngsters about how they had struggled with their mental health before seeking help.
She also noted that “everyone has a mental health” that they should take care of in the same way they would “go to the gym” to take care of their physical health.
In the show, which aired on Radio 1, Radio 1Xtra and the Asian Network at 12:45 this afternoon and will be repeated at 5:45 pm, the 40-year-old Prince of Wales said mental health has been “slid way down on the priority list” and argued that as a society we need to “find a balance” that sustains mental wellbeing to address other societal issues.

Wearing her cream ensemble, Kate added that people are now much better able to recognize that they are struggling with their mental health these days, but they still have trouble knowing how to deal with their problems.
It seems Kate is a fan of High Street staples, with selections from popular brands such as Zara and Karen Millen this month.
During the Newsbeat special, the Prince and Princess heard from a college student, Antonio Ferreira, a psychology and cognitive neuroscience student who is also a mental health activist.
During his teenage years, Antonio was diagnosed with schizophrenia and an emotionally unstable personality disorder.
He revealed how his condition sent him to a dark place, after which he decided to commit suicide, before being referred to a psychiatric ward that helped him recover.
“Because of an African background, mental health is not a topic of discussion,” he said. “It’s not something I was aware of or had any knowledge of and so I didn’t accept my own diagnosis.
‘After a visit from my GP, I was referred to a youth mental health service. Things went from zero to 100’ very quickly and he soon found himself ‘inches off the ground’ with ‘no hope’.
Antonio revealed that he then decided to commit suicide and ended up in the ward – and he was surprised by the support he received from other patients.
“They did say to me, ‘We can tell you have a light bulb in you. It’s not that the light bulb has gone out, it’s that someone just turned that switch off and you just need someone to turn it back on’.” ‘
He added, “I came out of there a different man,” which prompted him to look for ways to help other people who had been in his position.
Later in the broadcast, William noted what he had learned by working with mental health charities and leading campaigns such as Heads Together.
“A lot of the work we’ve done in the field of mental health and listening to a lot of people talking about it is that everyone loves a toolbox, especially for men. A toolbox is a pretty useful analogy for type of use,” he said.
The Prince added: ‘Big family networks and support networks around people are very important, but many people don’t realize what they need until it really comes.
“You can live one life for one minute and something huge changes and you realize you don’t necessarily have the tools or the experience to handle that.”
William appeared to be referring to the death of his mother Princess Diana in 1997 and the recent deterioration of his relationship with brother Prince Harry.
