Kate makes unusual style statement with frayed coat meant to look as if it's been ripped at the seams

With glossy locks, manicured nails and flawless make-up, the Duchess of Cambridge is the ultimate poster girl for polished perfection.
So when she was pictured at department store Fortnum & Mason yesterday wearing a frayed blue coat, onlookers were left wondering if Kate was suffering from a wardrobe malfunction - or if the garment was meant to be coming away at the seams.
Kate snapped up the tweed-style design, by Italian label M Missoni, at outlet mecca Bicester Village last year.

A spokesperson for the label said the wool knit-weave was made to look distressed and worn-out.
And knowing her every move is scrutinised at public engagements, it is unlikely a usually meticulous Kate would have failed to have the coat mended if that were not the case.
The frayed design is from the 2010 Autumn/Winter collection, and she paid significantly less than its original £765 price tag.
