Sarah Burton is the British designer who, as creative director of Alexander McQueen, designed Catherine’s wedding dress in 2011 and became the Princess of Wales’s most significant couturier. Her deep green coat for Kate at the October 2026 Windsor welcome — worn to receive the Sultan of Oman — continued a fifteen-year collaboration. Burton’s work for Kate defines how British craftsmanship is presented to the world at state occasions.
