Lovely!
This is what is expected from her, young, fresh look. I love her hat, its so different to the so many look a like headpiece she wears. The flower in blush add a nice pop of color to her look.

She could've worn a lovely plain dress with a nice coat over it that was age appropriate. Or a nice dress summery dress. Not sure why she needs to follow the footsteps of the older generation of the royal family. It's a time to build her own identity.

I think maybe her style is just simple. Not everyone is a fashionista.

Is that combo from Charlotte's christening?

It's a lovely look, one of Kate's best in a long time. As Dazz said, she looks young & fresh.

I didn't like the coat last year and I don't like it now, but at least, paired with that lovely hat it looks better.

I loved the dress last year. Love it this year. (Never did see how Pippa supposedly out shown her.) the lapels are lovely.

I'm not a hat/fascinator person, but this hat is awesome. She looks really good in it. It looks better than the one she had on at the christening. Her hair is styled just beautifully for the hat. She looks very sophisticated.

I completely agree. It's a stunning hat with a good dress.

The dress is ok...but I really do love the hat!

I love both of Catherine's looks. They're elegant, understated and timeless. She's not a pop star, a Hollywood actress, or a fashion model, so she doesn't need to be 'daring in her fashion choices'.

Stunningly elegant... The earrings, the side chignon and the chic hat all a bit out of her comfort zone...but the results paid off. A lovely look

[Frelinghighness]

Agree that the hat in the pale pink is very flattering. Wonderful hairdo and jewelry. The coat dress is wonderful but is hanging a little on her., a bitt loose.

I think the way Kate dresses is her style, she looks well put together and appropriate at events. She looks lovely today love the hat.

[IloveCP]

Beautiful and elegant look. I love her hat.

[duchessrachel]

I have really love Kate's clothing the past three days. I have often wondered why she never wears anything by Victoria Beckham? Her dresses always look really flattering on the women I have seen wear them. Sophie has worn Victoria Beckham clothing so I can't imagine that the royal family would find the dresses inappropriate.

[Duke of Marmalade]

I was wondering the same for some time, VB is perfect for size 0 as Kate. Beckhams were invited to the wedding and at that time had been gushing over the BRF non-stop but he was left out for a knighthood when it should have come / made sense.

I wonder if the love is still mutual, Kate could easily promote VB clothes and it would even make sense by promoting british fashion, but she choses not to.

[Pranter]

Not familiar with Beckham's look...is it Kate's style?

I think so. Alot of her dresses are similar to Roland Mouret. Streamlined sheaths in solid colors

[Pranter]

Hmmm interesting....perhaps she's trying to avoid being accused of bias or favoring a 'friend'? I dunno...are they super expensive?
