I think that the dress needs some help. For me what wasn't quite right were the black straps that were showing through the top. What would have been easier and much better looking would have been to extend the solid black all the way up the sheer part on the front of the dress. That way Catherine could have worn a strapless bra with the dress and it wouldn't have looked so messy. Other than that, I think that the dress is unique (in a good way for me). And the shoes and jewels are nice. The hair on the other hand, I would have liked it pulled away from her face with this dress.

She should have worn the black dress the original and not changed it. This was just not pretty.

Yes!!!!
I just hate when bra straps are showing; why didn't she wear a strapless one?
Or since it's bespoke, why didn't Temperley put a built-in bra inside?
Other than that, I didn't mind the dress, although she has looked better.

I dont think they are bra straps - I think they are the sapghetti straps of the slip part of the dress -continuing up from the scoop neck

I think they're spaghetti straps too.

Sort of looks like something you'd wear over a bikini or swimsuit on a holiday. And black really? For a celebration event.

Yes, but most of the women were in black as well!

Catherine is always picture perfect. Million watt smile and an elegant but fun dress sense, all without a single stylist or Lady in Waiting.
I hold the BRF to high standards and Catherine always passes muster with me

Is it hard to sleep with blinkers on?

 Catherine is fit, fit and thrice fit!
Its only 8:06 east coast time so I'm wide awake and loving that dress on her. Bravo and well done to HRH!

Her smile is always her best feature. It makes any look million times better.

Indeed. A genuine smile is a person's best asset.

They look like they are adjustable, though.
So that says bra straps to me.

Well I really don't like this dress and I am pleased someone else posted about the bra straps .. it's a bit matronly but maybe it doesn't photogragh well I can see the appeal but it just didn't work for me IMO. She ould do a whole lot better.IMO

In either case, slip or bra strap - there were better style choices for those of us who found this distracting.

This dress needs to boxed, packed away and forgotten. Forever.

Can't believe I'm saying this (as I usually like anything she wears) but I definitely agree with this :(

Tonight Catherine is wearing Alice Temperley, a repeat of the dress worn to the War Horse premiere in 2010.

No not the spider-web dress again. Honestly this is the one dress I really don't like.
