The Duchess of Cambridge wore her Emilia Wickstead dress that we first saw on her royal tour of Poland. The dress was not available to purchase at the time of Kate wearing this dress. When the dress was released, it was aptly named the ‘Kate A-Line’ Dress.

The wool-crepe dress has a bateau neckline, long sleeves and a fit and flare silhouette to the knee. The dress features darts across the bodice and hips for a more tailored look and a concealed zipper closure. A matching fabric waistband helps to cinch in the waist and create that true feminine hour glass figure. This is one of our favourite and royal fashion watchers’ favourite dresses. It is so light, delicate, feminine and polished, a true royal outfit. Try this as an affordable replikate, purchase here.

It was a new bag for this occasion: Kate carried an Aspinal Of London bag. She chose the ‘Midi Mayfair’ Bag in Deep Shine Lilac Small Croc, retailing for £554. The bag features the very notable Aspinal of London gold hardware push lock closure, a top handle with gold tone hardware and optional adjustable strap. Whilst some think the Duchess is carrying the bag in beige if you look closely in the photos you will notice that it is the lilac-toned bag, with the smaller croc print. Beautiful and we hope to see it again soon. This bag is available for pre-order here. With thanks to Kate’s Closet for the tip on pre-order! Try this as a replikate, purchase here.

Mappin and Webb Empress Earrings

Matching the earrings, Catherine wore her Mappin and Webb ‘Empress’ necklace, retailing for £1,000. The matching pendant is also made from 18ct white gold and has 0.40 carats in diamonds. If you feel like either the earrings or necklace are a bit out of your price range, we thought it worth mentioning that Mappin and Webb offer a monthly payment scheme so you too can own a piece of real jewellery worn by a Duchess. Both the earrings and the necklace also come in yellow gold. You can purchase Kate’s necklace here and here.
