She looks good love the red dress.
I think Kate looked very nice in that red dress.
I must say I am now quite bewildered as to the protocol regarding carrying purses. This night when she is in fact one of the hostesses, Kate carries a purse, whereas when she attended that art gallery do as a guest the other night wearing the midnight blue evening dress she didn't carry a purse and to me that made her look a) unfinished because I would have expected a guest to carry an evening purse both as an attractive accessory and a useful thing, and b) like one of the organisers rather than a guest. Yet tonight Helen Mirren doesn't seem to have a purse with her and Kate has one. Perhaps Kate carried a purse because HM had one.
I like consistency, and not having being able to discern an obvious answer to these important questions can get me quite flustered!
Bad news, I'm afraid - there is no protocol.
I'm on the same page as you, Roslyn. It doesn't make sense to my very orderly mind that Kate didn't wear a purse to an evening event where she was a guest and a purse would have been an integral accessory to a formal look, but wore one as a hostess at BP. Gah! I hope this doesn't keep me awake counting clutches and pondering this condundrum tonight.
And Kate looks lovely in red; brunettes always rock jewel tones so well.

She had a purse, then ditched it so she could mingle. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/02/17/article-2561490-1B96CA0500000578-543_470x804.jpg
Great to see this beautiful dress again.
I like the dress too.
And I think it's wise of her to wear her clothes multiple times.
Yet (I know it's contradictory) I always feel a tiny bit disappointed when I don't see something new!
Which is idiotic but there it is.
ugh.....get your hands out of the top of your hair. So tacky. Dress is very pretty.
They're bound to catch moments in pics.
Quite!That hair!!! AUGHHHH.
The dress is very flattering but I agree, the hair is too long.I love this dress. It's one of her best. Her hair is a little long but it looks styled and good.
The black accessories did look a lot better than the previous outing with nude pumps. The black courts looked a lot more elegant and feminine. As for her having her hair up? Chance would be a fine thing!Yup. I agree. I like the black with the dress. I also think she should have put the hair up. It would have looked better. . .
And that is why her long hair is inappropriate for public engagements. She starts out looking lovely and her hair was styled more in waves than her usual sausage curls which is a very good thing. However, Catherine cannot defy the Law of Gravity and the sheer weight of hair that long pulls out the styling and causes it to become less bouncy and then it starts to flop down over her face.ugh.....get your hands out of the top of your hair.

That's when she invariably ends up pushing her hair up or back over her shoulders or trying to tuck it behind her ears. Unfortunately her ears are not big enough to hold back that volume and so she ends up starting the whole routine over again. Very distracting and yes, perhaps even tacky.
