The Duchess of Cambridge stood out in a recycled High Street blazer as she kicked off her two-day visit to Denmark today.
Kate looked stunning in the red blazer from Zara that she previously wore when watching the England v Germany game at Wembley during the Euros last summer.
Underneath she wore a ruffled white shirt - with the red and white colours a nod to the Danish flag. She teamed it with black wide-legged trousers, a small black Aspinal of London handbag and earrings and a necklace from Monica Vinader.
On her first engagement, she visited the University of Copenhagen to learn from world-leading researchers running the Copenhagen Infant Mental Health Project, which aims to promote mental wellbeing and relationships between infants and their parents.
As part of this, researchers have developed an innovative screening tool, 'Alarm Distress Baby Scale' (ADBB), used nationally to help health visitors to identify infants who are at risk of adverse social and emotional development.
Here Kate, who has a massive interest in early years development, met researchers running the programme and heard from health visitors who are implementing these tools in their work.

She later went to the The Children’s Museum, where she met with three health visitors who have been trained through the Understanding your Baby (UYB) programme, and two families who have benefitted from this support.
The Understanding Your Baby Project is a universal educational parenting programme, which was developed following the implementation of the ADBB screening tool.
The programme allows health visitors to develop their language and vocabulary around social and emotional development, enabling them to have more helpful and sensitive conversations with parents.
The duchess is on a solo visit to Denmark and flew in on a commercial British Airways flight from London that was delayed by 30 mins.
The visit is a fact-finding mission to learn how the country has become a world leader in its approach to early childhood development and is spending two days in the capital Copenhagen on a working visit with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
It is the first time she has taken the work of her foundation, which she launched in June, to the international stage.
The visit will also pay tribute to the historic ties Britain shares with Denmark and celebrate the countries’ joint jubilees – the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the Golden Jubilee of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, both of which fall in 2022.
Kate will receive an official welcome from Queen Margrethe tomorrow in honour of the long-standing relationship between the two royal families.
She will also join Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and visit a project which works to protect vulnerable women and children from domestic violence.
A Kensington Palace spokeswoman, speaking when the trip was first announced, said: “The duchess is looking forward to visiting the country, learning from the Danish people, and continuing to build on the already close friendship between the two countries.”
Denmark is considered a beacon of best practice with its approach to early childhood, as well as consistently ranking near the top of countries with the happiest people in the world.
It is Kate’s second official visit to Denmark, following a trip with Prince William in 2011.
