Duchess Kate: beige “Contrast” coat by Katherine Hooker

The Contrast Coat is a long elegant coat with a seam on the waistline and a flared skirt. It is made of a  soft medium weight herringbone beige wool felt trimmed in brown cotton velvet on the top collar, cuff bands, back belt and pocket flaps. It has a long vent which adds to the flare of the skirt and also small belt on the back waist.

The mid-calf length coat had been shortened to above the knee for the first official engagement of Catherine Middleton after her engagement to Prince William. It is by Wiltshire-based designer Katherine Hooker.

I prefer the shorter version of the coat. I think that this really colour suits the Duchess.

1- Kate Middleton wore the coat on 17th March 2006 at the Cheltenham Gold Cup equestrian event.

2- Kate wore the shortened version of the coat on 24th February 2011 at the RNLI lifeboat naming ceremony in Anglesey.

Duchess Kate: “Addison” printed multi azure silk dress by L.K. Bennett

This is the “Addison” multi azure printed silk dress with its jewel-toned print, sheer long sleeves and ankle grazing length. By the British brand L.K. Bennett.

I partly like this dress and I partly dislike it. I like the material, the length, the effect it gives when it is worn. But I am not too keen on the print, and it looks a bit old-fashioned when it is worn by the Duchess.

1- Kate wore this dress on 22nd April 2016 for a dinner with Michelle and Barack Obama at the home of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge in Kensington Palace, London.

Duchess Kate: blue and white embroidered sheath dress by Naeem Khan

Duchess Kate: Flower Spirits red “Juliet” gown by Beulah

Flower Spirits red “Juliet” silk chiffon gown featuring sheer long sleeves, a V neckline and splits at the front of the skirt, it is lined through the bodice and skirt. The dress is in bold crimson hues with gold accents. By Beulah London.

This dress looks ethereal due to the material and this is nice. However there is a 70’s look about it that makes it dated.

1- The Duchess of Cambridge wore it on 15th April 2016 during a  reception at the Taj Tashi hotel celebrating Britain’s relationship with Bhutan.

Duchess Kate: embroidered tulle gown by Tory Burch

Tulle gown intricately embroidered with retro-inspired florals in shades of sky-blue, orange, green and brown. It features short sleeves, slit sides and a concealed zip fastening at the back. The red bead embellishments mean there’s no need for a necklace. By Tory Burch.

This dress shows too many colours and it looks too ethnic to my taste. I however like the shape when it is worn by the Duchess.

1- The Duchess of Cambridge wore it on 14th April 2016 at a private dinner with the King and Queen of Bhutan at Lingkana Palace in the capital city of Thimphu.
