  1. The Duchess looks lovely. Her sapphire earrings, ring and (tiny) necklace pendant are perfect with this lilac dress. And, of course, her smile is gorgeous. I love her colorful umbrella.

  2. Quel plaisir de retrouver Kate vêtue d'une toilette droite dans un tissu très souple à l'élégant décolleté ; j'adore cette couleur lilas !

    This is a lovely dress in its own right and Catherine looks ok in it, but as I commented when she wore the red dress with Jill Biden, I repeat that comment here again that these dresses would look better if she wasn't so lean, especially for a style like this one that exposes a lot of the body (even though she uses her long hair to cover up very well).
    I also would have liked something to add some focus...a contrasting colour, or a larger piece of jewellery or a darker shoe. Everything looks very bland and washed out. Pity, because Catherine is a beautiful woman who can look stunning with very little, or without having to try very hard.

    Beautiful dress and accessories! So simple yet colorful and well fitting. I would love to have her lean figure so I could wear most anything and look so great. Such a good cause she is working on...many years in the making.

    1. Agree that she looks great and would love to have her figure. I preferred the similarity styled red dress she wore recently, but this fits so well.

    Catherine looks lovely, she is not too thin, or too big, just right for her and her hectic life. The colors are wonderful, not too bland or boring, but just right for the occasion. jj

    For me this is perfect, a beautiful dress for a naturally slender woman, in my eyes much better than the red one with that big belt she wore with Ms Biden. In my eyes, there is nothing that should be better hidden than exposed. The subdued colour und filigrane jewellery are good choices for this type of occasion where she is together with other women. Standing alone on a platform and christening a ship would be something different :-) (-Ann.)

  10. Lovely dress--the sweetheart neckline is beautiful! The Duchess looks elegant yet ready for business concerning her new initiative. Her choice of jewelry was also on point--smaller, simpler pieces for a daytime meeting. I also loved her umbrella! Yet again, Catherine hits it out of the park with her fashion choices and sense.

    This dress is even better on C than on the model.
    How does she do it?!
    Wearing a good simple dress and looking so stunning ( and at ease).
    Well done C with this good initiative too!

  14. Ziet er prachtig uit, maar aangezien je er op een foto 7 kilo zwaarder uitziet, maak ik me een beetje zorgen, is ze niet erg mager ? Poekie
