Helen Mirren looks graceful in Houndstooth coat

Helen Mirren looked graceful in a Houndstooth coat on Thursday, 16 March.

The 77-year-old actress looked the very picture of elegance as she stepped out in the on-trend look during a visit to CBS Studios in New York. To pair with her coat, Helen opted for a gorgeous pleated midi skirt in a grey hue. She kept her look classic by opting to pair this with heeled black court shoes and accessorised with a handbag, sunglasses and silver earrings.

Shoe wore her long hair down in a straight style with a black headband to match her outfit. Helen thrilled fans when she first debuted her new hair transformation, revealing that she'd swapped her signature bob hairstyle for longer, flowing tresses. For her makeup look, she kept things simple yet classic, opting for subtle eyeshadow, a pop of blush and a pink lip.

A Houndstooth coat is a classic piece that's proved itself to be a must-have for this season. In February, the Princess of Wales was seen sporting a stunning, red Houndstooth coat on a trip to Cardiff.

Just like Helen, the Princess kept her look subtle and classic by pairing it with a chic handbag and silver jewellery. Kate also delighted fans when she wore this look — as many saw it as a nod to her husband's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, who wore a very similar style in 1990.

With Houndstooth coats making a comeback for this season — in addition to being a classic piece that every wardrobe needs — we've created an edit of our favourite Houndstooth coats to shop now:
