    The ivory dress and coat seem to be a blank canvas to allow the colorful flowers to shine brightly. My only nitpick is that I wish she had taken off the coat at some point so we could see the whole dress.

  3. I don't like the off-white, light beige colour of this outfit. It's a dull colour that doesn't look good on anyone. The RL dress has some eggnog yellow in it that is also unflattering.

      I don't agree. I think this off-white colour looks beautiful on Kate and her dress together with the coat are elegant. It also contrasts beautifully with the pearl-and red flower-necklace that was given to her.

    2. I don't agree either. Light beige is a soft and classy color. The accessories are very well chosen.

      I disagree as well, her complexion, hair colour carries this colour well.

    4. Generally I don’t like pale, insipid colours but this one works. The P of W looks fabulous and what can be seen of the dress looks lovely, especially the sunshiny pleated skirt part. I’m just so pleased she moved on from the series of dull brown outfits from a few weeks ago

  4. A mon avis, très jolie couleur ; cerise sur le gâteau, les boucles d’oreilles qu’elle a ressorties de sa boîte à bijoux !

    I think this is one of her better looks in a while. I like the coat and the dress as separates and together they work fine to me.

    The outfit is okay, but I hate those earrings.

    Absolutely beautiful! I love this cream outfit but what I really love are Catherine's Sezane earrings. They are the perfect touch of color for her outfit and I especially love that the design is inspired by jewelry styles. Also, the lovely cream of her dress and coat are the perfect background for the beautiful flower necklaces presented her for the celebration.

      Fully agree! And it is nice to see Catherine is something a bit less "stiff". Very nice.

    White, off-white, eggshell - looks especially, almost strikingly good on Camilla, and Charlene. But also e.g. on Stephanie and Leonor - and actually, on almost everyone, Catherine very much included...

    It’s not beige its winter white and it looks fabulous on the Princess . It shows off the garland of rosés beautifully.

    The coat doesn't go with the dress ;earrings a bit grungy.The ladies in the bright outfits look great (Tara)

  14. The Princess has the height to wear this flared Midi dress successfully. It looks so striking. The coat looks so good, I love it when the coat meets the hemline of the underneath. I'm not sure what brand the coat is, but I love it! The color at this event was a good choice, highlighting the garland around her neck. Her shoes and clutch are a good color. Not a fan of the earrings, but I understand the choice..

    Lovely coat and dress. Cream or off-white is a color which suits almost everyone. I see she is wearing one of Queen Mathilde's favourite brands for modern earrings. The French brand Sézanne makes earrings in beautiful colors and shapes which can be worn with a lot of fashion colors.Each time Princess Catherine is visiting a place, she looks healthier and stronger. I wish her well.

    Totally agree with @Ava Pittman and @07:23 - I think the Princess of Wales looks beautiful in winter white, perfect choice for the event where those present are wearing such colourful clothes she really stands out. Few can wear such a style of dress, but she looks elegant, the coat is well tailored - superb!

    I wonder if Catherine chose a neutral color to let the garland take centre stage. Without the garland a belt would have been lovely.
    It was lovely to see the Indian culture highlighted and enjoyed. It must have brought back happy memories of her and William’s visit to India. Plus it marries up nicely to the Earthshot Prize being held in India this year.
    Lowri.
