Pale Pink Bouclé by Angela Kelly

Pale pink lightweight bouclé coat and dress with pink trim with a matching straw and bouclé hat by Angela Kelly. This first appeared as part of the Diamond Jubilee wardrobe, during a visit to Hereford Cathedral on 11 July 2012, accessorised with the Queen Mother's Palm-Leaf brooch:


Then again on 22 May 2013, for the first garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace, with the Jardine Star brooch:




Later that year, on 6 December 2013, the Queen repeated the look to view the newly-installed Diamond Jubilee window at Westminster Hall in London. I'd have thought the outfit might have been too lightweight for the time of year, but these photos prove that wasn't the case! The Queen's pink stone and diamond brooch complemented the look perfectly:



On 7 March 2014,  the dress worn on its own (it's easily recognizable thanks to the pink piping around the neckline and the waist) made an appearance at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, during which actress Penelope Keith was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire:


A week later, on 15 April 2014, it was time for another investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, during which actress Angela Lansbury was made a Dame, while entertainer Nicholas Parsons (below) was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen. It's unclear which brooch the Queen is wearing:



Then, on 30 April 2014, the complete look was worn again for a visit to Ystrad Mynach in Wales. This time the Flame Lily brooch was chosen:


On 7 August 2014, the Queen chose this outfit for the ceremonial welcome at the start of her summer residence at Balmoral in Scotland. She wore the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders badge:


On 14 October 2014, the dress alone was worn again for private audiences at Buckingham Palace. Below, the Queen with Dame Marguerite Pindling, whom she appointed as Governor-General of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and invested with the Insignia of a Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George. She wore the Cullinan V brooch:


The saw the outfit again on a visit to Holyport College in Windsor, on 28 November 2014, again with a pink-stone brooch, the Saskatchewan flower brooch, made of Madagascar tourmaline, diamonds and a central white pearl:


On 16 March 2016, the Queen repeated the dress for audiences at Buckingham Palace (shown below with the High Commissioner for Rwanda Her Excellency Yamina Karitanyi). She wore the Cambridge pearl pendant brooch:


The Queen repeated the look on 26 May 2016, on a visit to the Royal Artillery's Larkhill camp on the Salisbury plains, to mark their 300th anniversary (Daily Mail article here). The Queen, who is Captain General of the Royal Artillery, wore their badge:


On 13 July 2016, the look was worn once again when the Queen visited Prince William's place of work to open a new base of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) at Cambridge Airport (Daily Mail article here). You'll notice that the Queen wore a different floral print silk dress underneath the coat, not the matching bouclé dress which was probably too warm for the season. She completed the look with her pink topaz and diamond brooch:




On 14 October 2016, the Queen wore the original bouclé dress to unveil a portrait by Henry Ward at Windsor Castle that commemorates the 60th anniversary of her patronage of the British Red Cross (Daily Mail article here):
