Very elegant.

I thought so! They are the ones with the interchangeable center stones.

Are you sure the middle bits were interchangeable?

Are you sure the middle bits were interchangeable?

I think so? I've read about it either here (jewelry threads) or in an article about the earrings.

Not that we know of. The Queen has a pair that look very similar to these but are not the same. Those can have diamond drops, emerald drops or empty hoops. The ones Kate wore are a different pair that showed up on the Queen at an opening of parliment.

Ah ok...thanks! I thought these were the interchangeable ones.

thin she looks beautiful in the red dress and I like it very much! But what is it with the men tights and balerina shoes with bow?

 

[Scarebaby]

I think those earrings, while beautiful, look very heavy and uncomfortable. I know I can't wear really heavy earrings without a lot of pain.

 

[royal rob]

I think earrings are like high heels too much pain for me

Great color but I must say its quite boring just because we have seen a very similar outfit earlier today and with open hair. A different hairstyle would've looked so much better and a brooch as well. The look looks uncompleted.

Better picture

 

[Lumutqueen]

Oops got the colour wrong, it's pink.

Thanks for the updated pic dazzling

 

[wyevale]

I'd call that Magenta, which [correct me if i'm wrong] isn't a colour the Duchess has worn before ?

 

[ladongas]

Here's a better picture of this really cute suit:

I love this suit and the colour is divine.

 

[Frelinghighness]

Great color and the skirt with the box pleats is good for her as it seems to add some weight

 

[Countessmeout]

I love the magenta color. Fresh and a great change for her.

That said Another cost dress? I am sorry but bored. And doesn't scream evening event. And after wearing a suit earlier, something less structured would have been nice.

It's not a coat dress. It's a jacket and skirt. ANd it's not very eveningy, but neither was the event. It was a seminar/conference for professionals. I assume the monday night spot was so it's after regular work hours, but it's a standard work event it seemed. So I thought the look fitting. It was a bit too similar to her earlier look in the day so I would have liked them more spread out on different days, but both looks were nice and professional.

I love the coat dress. Its a beautiful color.

Just saw from distance, looked like fiat dress. I actually liked it better as fiat dress. Seeing it up close see it us another peplum coat.

Honestly if it was a business day event, she should have just eith the red from earlier. They were so similar anyways.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

I like the colour but that's about it. The skirt reminds me of a school girl, too wide and short.

 

[Honeybees]

The DOC is not wearing evening dress neither are others in the photograph. Why would the DOC go in an evening gown?

 

[AdmirerUS]

Heavens, I like the magenta suit. It's a fresh take on Kate's love for full skirts. She looks every bit as good in it as the model. IMO, this is sophisticated and ladylike and completely fit for a Duchess.

 

[ladongas]

According to this, it's by Carolina Herrera, not Oscar de la Renta. Has she worn this designer before?

^^^ Kate has already worn CH, on the Canada's tour if I am not wrong.

However, Oscar de la Renta or not (and I believe it is De la Renta) I found the outfit as boring as it could be. I don't know if he cause for such a let.down were the accessories or the similiaries with the Luisa Spagnoli's suit, but I was left totally unimpressed.

 

[PrincessofEurope]

The colour of this suit is lovely and something different for Kate - the last time i recall her wearing a purple like that was on the very first royal tour of Canada when she last wore the Issa silk dress to the Canada day evening fireworks.

Apart from the colour i don't like much else. Maybe the jacket by itself with a pair of black trousers would be nice for a more informal daytime engagement. But overall it is a bit of a mixed look for an evening event

Lovely color on her but too little girlish in style.

[carlota]

this just doesn't work for me. the jacket is great fitting, the colour is nice but there's something about the skirt that just does not work.

odd, because i generally love some oscar de la renta action. hopefully she will get the skirt better tailored.
