Exactly my thoughts, too. She looked elegant and professional; that pencil skirt accentuates her figure perfectly. Now to see her wearing more of these suits in other colors and patterns.

Great suit on Kate - nice to see her digging out classic and elegant pieces from her pre-engagement days. She often wore lovely pieces before she married William, often by high-street makes that look really good on her (dare I say better than some of the designer pieces she has acquired since becoming royal)

There aren't too many who can wear such a pencil skirt to her advantage. I would have liked a scarf or some color, a brooch or necklace to liven up the overall dark look.

I have to agree the suit is nice. I would have liked to have seen some color or jewels. This would be a lovely suit is burgundy or dark green for her.

I agree a brooch or scarf in a contrasting colour would have been good, but this is a lovely suit and I like this length of skirt on Kate.

She was going to sign a memorial for Nelson Mandela, so that's why the outfit was rather dark.

The Tartan outfit is a coat by McQueen, there will be some form of dress underneath.

Thanks a lot. Nothing special, especially for the price I suppose it has.

I don't recall seeing Kate wear a large scarf before - I like it. Also the colour of her hat which looks good with the tartan coat dress.
