Kate Middleton goes out! In a fascinator! Supports British fashion

OK people, calm down. We know we haven't seen royal-bride-to-be Kate Middleton at a public engagement for some months now, but just breathe!

This morning Kate and her future husband, Prince William, stepped out at the Trearddur Bay Lifeboat Station at Anglesey for their first public outing since the engagement announcement.

More importantly than the news that she was there to launch — and name — a lifeboat, is the question: Who and what was Kate wearing?

Kate is setting herself up as a great supporter of British fashion and having that quintessentially British-thrift-shop sensibility à la Kate Moss.

Kate Middleton's style staples

She wore a coat by London-based designer, Katherine Hooker, which she was snapped in at the Cheltenham Gold Cup, waaay back in 2006.

And the accessories? Kate sported a pheasant feather and brown felt fascinator by Vivien Sheriff, brown stockings, gloves and clutch by LK Bennett and Russell & Bromley ankle boots. That's Brit head-to-toe!

While Kate's wedding dress designer still remains a closely guarded secret (literally: apparently Princess Diana's dress had body guards in the lead up to the wedding!), rumours continue to fly around about who will make the gown, and the latest name to drop is Victoria Beckham.

"I think she's got someone she's discovered, like her own secret discovery, and it'll be made in absolutely top secret conditions and we won't know until on the day but I suspect it'll be something beautiful," the UK Daily Telegraph's fashion critic Hilary Alexander told Reuters.

While we can hardly believe that VB will be the designer, anything is possible in a fairytale royal wedding. Eek!
