On November 10, The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Imperial War Museum in London and toured the exhibition ‘Generations: Portraits of the Holocaust’. The new exhibition consists of more than 50 photographic portraits of Holocaust survivors and their families, including two images captured by The Duchess. The Duchess wore a dark blue wool coat by Catherine Walker, and a white and navy military style blouse by Alexander McQueen.

Holocaust survivors, Zigi and Manfred, who The Duchess first met in Stutthof in 2017 and spoke to again to mark holocaust Memorial Day this year, appear in the exhibition as do the stories of the Windermere Children – some of who The Duchess met in Cumbria. The Imperial War Museum tells the story of people who have lived, fought and died in conflicts involving Britain and the Commonwealth since the First World War.

  4. Quelle silhouette de rêve dans ce pantalon que je préfère au style de son chemisier qui n'est pas du tout à mon goût ; j'adore ses boucles d'oreilles qu'elle sort assez souvent de son écrin à bijoux !

    1. I agree with you. I understand a nod to a host country, but Kate has taken dressing to acknowledge an organization to a very different level. I am not fond of the blouse either. ~d

  5. I really hate that blouse of hers and she has worn it often to things marine or military. She needs to ditch it. I like her hair longer too but it does need a better cut.

  8. I really like these trousers and the whole outfit. I am happy she has left those skinny jeans to younger girls (hopefully :))

  9. I like how the Duchess always seems to dress for her events. Professional when needed; glamorous when the occasion calls for it. She tries to keep the attention on the event and not so much herself.

  10. While I understand her sentiment in wearing a military-styled blouse, I can't help but think of a nutcracker when I see her wear it. Perhaps it is the lighting, but on my screen, her long blue coat seems to clash with the blues of the rest of her outfit. It is nice to see her wear the diamond and sapphire earrings. She is a lovely lady and does good work.

  12. The Duchess looks great! Her original MCQueen outfit with the skirt looked flattering. Love the rewear with the long coat and her long hair looks beautiful. Her interactions with those there were so sweet, especially those with whom she had previously worked on photos.

    1. Exactly what I was afraid to say. Time to tame the hair (especially considering her position; she is not a fashion model). ~Laurel~

    2. Her husband likes her hair long and so does she.

    3. She is dressed nicely and appropriate, but I agree regarding the hairstyle. A few inches shorter would make her look younger. She looks haggard but I understand the pressure to be skinny in her role.

  15. Disagree with most about the hair, it’s way too long, and it gives me fashionista vibes…
    The outfit it’s fine, appropriate and unremarkable.

  16. Kate looks great--love the trousers. That McQueen top is not one of my favorites but she does look good in it. She does indeed have fabulous hair. She always keeps her hair neat when she wears it down--but, I would like to see an inch or two come off. It looks like she is wearing her poppy brooch on her blouse but her hair is obscuring it-and that's something I wish she would pay more attention to when she's choosing a hairstyle for an event. I do like that she switches up the part in her hair to give it a different look.

  19. This is one of my favorite shirts of hers ever, I wish it was mine lol. I can see why some might not like it, it's not everyone's style, but I find it fabulous with the military styling. I love that she has paired it with these trousers, they fit perfectly. And that coat, fantastic! Her hair and makeup are flawless. It must be exhausting to look so perfect all the time :)
