Clearly inspired by the lovelyensembles she wore to both Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s christenings, the36-year-old royal evidently enjoys matching her sweet bundle of joys.

Another reason for the mom-of-three’s consistent choice of thecolor cream could be because of what it symbolizes. The variation of white alsosignifies innocence, purity, faith and peace, which are all fitting qualities tobring to a baby's christening. Just like she did with George and Charlotte'schristenings in 2013 and 2015, Kate enlisted one of her favorite design houses, Alexander McQueen, to create her stunning outfit.

This time around, Kate teamed the elegant number with a hatby Jane Taylor. Design-wise, the headpiece seemed to be a combination of thetwo other hats she had worn to the other christenings. Prince William’s wife styledher glossy chestnut hair in her trademark blow-dried waves, sweeping them backinto a stunning bun.

Complementing his mommy’s angelic look wonderfully, 11-week-oldLouis wore a customary christening gown. His royal robe was a replica of theintricate dress made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter back in 1841. Theoriginal piece, which was last used in 2004, is now too delicate to be put onand has been replaced by a new version made by Queen Elizabeth's dresser, AngelaKelly. However, Louis fittingly wore the same gown as his brother and sister,which is special in its own right.
