Seafoam for Poppies at the Tower Art Installation

The Queen debuted this Angela Kelly outfit on 16 October 2014 during a visit to the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red art installation at the Tower of London to commemorate 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War.
The coat has a black velvet collar and black buttons. A black velvet rose on the hat ties the look together. The Queen wore her round Cambridge emerald brooch (without pendant) with this coat.
It was a glorious choice, as the vibrant seafoam green of the coat and hat stood out splendidly against the red backdrop of the ceramic poppies:

The outfit was repeated on 2 April 2015, for the traditional Maundy Thursday service at Sheffield Cathedral, this time accessorised with her Mappin & Webb orchid spray brooch:
 

 
 
On 3 December 2015, the Queen repeated this look (paired once more with the round Cambridge emerald brooch, sans pendant) on a visit to St Columba's Church of Scotland in Knightsbridge to mark 60th years of its rededication (Daily Mail article here):
