Royal Tour Day 10: Kate repeats Rebecca Taylor tweed suit for last day in New Zealand

16/4/2014

 
The Duke and Duchess spent their last day in New Zealand in the capital city of Wellington.  William and Catherine visited the Royal New Zealand Police College this morning, where they layed a wreath on the wall of remembrance before watching a demonstration from the police dog unit. This was followed by a walkabout in the Civic Square.

Just like she did in 2012, Kate accessorised the suit with her Alexander McQueen bespoke navy suede heels.  She also coordinated the outfit with the same accessories she wore on Day 4 of this tour; carrying her navy suede Russell & Bromley 'Muse' clutch also known as the Stuart Weitzman 'Raz' clutch, wearing her Sapphire & diamond drop earrings and the Cartier Ballon Bleu watch

Royal Tour Day 8: Christchurch

14/4/2014

2 Comments

 
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a sombre visit to Christchurch today. The city was impacted by a devastating 6.1 magnitude earthquake in February 2011, killing 185 people.  The Royal Couple visited the CTV Building memorial site meeting families who sadly lost loved ones in the earthquake.
Picture
In a nod to Canterbury's official colours, the region in which Christchurch is located, Kate wore her Luisa Spagnoli red dress suit, accented with black buttons and a black velour bow belt.  
Picture
Kate Middleton first wore this 2-piece suit when she and Price William visited St Andrews University on 25th February 2011. Incidentally that was only 3 days after the tragic earthquake. For the St Andrews visit, Kate elected to wear a turtleneck over the top of the dress. On that same day, Kate and William visited the New Zealand High Commission in London to sign the condolence book. For this occasion, Kate wore the red dress but swapped the matching peplum jacket for a black overcoat.
Picture
Thanks to the brilliant detective work of Ayvee Elliot, she first noted on WhatKateWore, that the Duchess may have converted the dress into a skirt.  This would account for the longer hemline, which many observed as the main difference between the suit she wore in 2011 and the one she wore today.
Picture
Kate completed the outfit with familiar pieces; the black suede Episode 'Angel' pumps, black suede Mulberry 'Baywater' clutch, Annoushka pearl drops with Kiki hoop earrings, and the Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also officially opened the visitors centre of the Botanic Gardens. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the gardens became a place of reflection for the people of Christchurch.
Picture
Following the opening, William & Kate visited the city's Latimer Square to endorse the upcoming Cricket World Cup.  The pair participated in a light-hearted game of cricket with the local kids.  Despite both being dressed in suits, the royal couple weren't afraid to show off their competitive side.

After an action packed week in New Zealand, the Duke and Duchess will spend tomorrow resting in private. On Wednesday, the royal couple will fly out of Wellington Airport and head to Sydney for their first Australian engagement at the Opera House.

Royal Tour Day 7: Dunedin & Queenstown

13/4/2014

 
Today, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed in Dunedin for their Otago visit which started with a church service and ended with a white-knuckle jet-boat ride!
Picture
Kate turned to New Zealand born designer Emilia Wickstead to outfit her for the Palm Sunday church service.  The dress is the same style as the pink pleated Wickstead coat dress Kate wore twice in 2012.
The double crepe wool frock is a bespoke piece, and this teal colour appears to be from Wickstead's 
Autumn/Winter 2013/14 collection.
Picture
Picture
Kate donned a matching teal hat by Jane Taylor Millinery. It is a modified version of the 'Dolly' cocktail hat. The hat is made from velour felt and features a handcut felt feather and crystal detail.

The Duchess contrasted the teal outfit with her Emmy 'Natasha' clutch and 'Valerie' pumps in carbon suede, last worn to the St Patrick's day parade in March this year.

Following the church service, the Royal couple changed out of their Sunday-best and into some comfy casual clothes to participate in the Rippa Rugby tournament at Forsyth Barr stadium. 
Picture
Kate wore a chic waffle-knit sweater by Jonathan Saunders.  The 'Deborah' jumper is a mix of blush, white and aqua. It has a solid white ribbed crewneck, cuffs and hem.  It is made from 100% cotton and retailed for about US$555.

Kate teamed the sweater with her navy Zara skinny jeans and Mint Velvet taupe suede plimsolls. Both styles have been discontinued.

Following the rugby match, the Duke and Duchess took a short flight to Queenstown and made another wardrobe change for their visit to Amisfield Winery.
Picture
Kate repeated most of the pieces she wore on Day 5 of the tour in Auckland; Zara blazer; Zara skinny jeans and Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges. However, she changed up the outfit with a preppy navy/white gingham shirt. We think the shirt is by GAP. The Duchess was spotted in GAP only a week before the royal tour commenced, so there's a good chance she picked this up during her shopping spree.

She also donned her folding Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses.

Royal Tour Day 6: Kate in emerald green Erdem for Waikato regional visit

12/4/2014

 
On Day 6 of the Royal Tour, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the Waikato region of New Zealand, covering the towns of Hamilton and Cambridge. Upon arriving at Hamilton airport, the royal couple went separate ways. William visited the Pacific Aerospace Centre at the airport, while Kate attended a tea party at the Rainbow Place Children’s Hospice. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Kate wore a bright grass-green coat by Erdem, featuring a zipped front and Peter Pan collar.  The sleeves have matching zipped cuffs. The US$2500 coat is fabricated from 100% wool-crepe and is detailed with a tab waist and front pockets.
Picture

We managed to get a glimpse of the dress Kate wore under the coat. It was a tea-length frock by London-based designer Suzannah, called the 'Budding Heart Silk Tea Dress'.  The dress is tailor made in England and features a beautiful white budding heart print onto green Italian silk crepe de chine.  The smocking detailing at the shoulder and under the bust add a wonderful vintage charm, with the bias line of the skirt  skimming to below the knee. It is currently in stock and retails for £475.

Royal Tour Day 5: Kate wears nautical inspired outfit for a day on Auckland Harbour

11/4/2014

 
For the first time since the tour began, the sun came out to greet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they disembarked from the grey Royal New Zealand Air Force plane at Whenuapai Air Base near Auckland. 
Picture
Picture
Their first stop was a meet & greet  with Royal New Zealand Air Force families at the military base.
Picture
Kate wore a nautical inspired outfit, and added a touch of military chic with a new Zara navy blazer.  The double-breasted jacket with goldtone buttons is from the current Zara collection and retails for US$139.
Picture
Under the blazer, she wore a new Breton top from London based label ME+EM. The top features cobalt blue and white stripes, a scoop neckline, ¾ length sleeves and ruched detailing to the bottom hem. It retails for £48.
Picture
Her ensemble included some familiar pieces; the Zara skinny jeans and Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges in navy suede.
Picture
US$395
Kate wore her Kiki Grace earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.
Picture
Picture
Picture

Shortly after, William & Kate made their way to Waitemata Harbour where they raced each other in Emirates Team New Zealand America's Cup yachts.  Kate made a quick wardrobe change, exchanging the Zara blazer for a sailing jacket, and her 5" wedges for her comfy Sebago 'Bala' deck shoes.
Picture
Picture

The sailing jackets worn by the Duke & Duchess are by Musto. It is the BR1 Channel jacket described by the manufacturer as "ideal for coastal sailors who want a high level of protection from the elements but are conscious of weight and bulk of the garment."  The company was established by Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor, and in 2010 the company was granted two Royal Warrants from The Queen and The Duke of Edinburg.
Picture
There was some healthy rivalry between the royal couple, but the Duchess triumphed!

I initially thought Kate wore a classic pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers in tortious, however some astute observers on WhatKateWore, noted they could be the foldable Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

Royal Tour Day 4: Kate wears blue Alexander McQueen coat dress to Blenheim and Omaka Aviation Center

10/4/2014

 
This morning, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their royal tour of New Zealand with a visit to the Marlborough region located on the north east tip of the South Island. They started the day with a commemorative wreath-laying ceremony in Seymour Square, Blenheim.  Price William and Kate were joined by a group of WWII veterans, politicians, and thousands of spectators. The service was held to pay tribute to those who have died in combat during the first World War,  which marks its 100th anniversary later this year.
Picture
For today's solemn service, Kate wore a bespoke cornflower blue coat dress from her favourite designer, Alexander McQueen. The piece appears to be a fusion of the Utility Coat Dress and Belted Crepe Coat from McQueen's current ready-to-wear collection.  Kate's coat dress is described as a double leaf crepe coat, with utility pockets, waist belt and pleated back skirt. It features a collared neckline and has concealed snap fastenings through the front.

Royal Tour Day 2 & 3: Wharekauhau Lodge & Plunket Playgroup

9/4/2014

 
The royal motorcade was spotted leaving Wellington on Monday after the traditional welcome ceremony at Government House. It is believed the Cambridge's retreated to the Wharekauhau Country Estate Lodge to relax and rejuvenate after their long-haul flight from London.
Picture
The sprawling luxury estate resort has a grand lodge and 15 guest cottages on the private grounds with plenty of privacy for the royal family to enjoy.
Picture
Day 2 of the tour was a rest day for the royals and their entourage.  No doubt they made the most of this day to regroup and gear up for the next three weeks.

On Day 3, the Royal trio returned to Government House in Wellington to meet with the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society, an organization that provides health care to children and new families.  Their Royal Highnesses arrived ahead of schedule, and Kate was spotted wearing the same grey MaxMara wrap dress she wore when landing in Sydney earlier this week.
Picture
After a quick wardrobe change, Kate emerged wearing a black and white patterned knit dress named 'Paulina' by American designer Tory Burch. 
Picture
The Tory Burch 'Paulina' dress is from her Resort 2014 collection. The dress has an alternating white open-knit and solid black knit pattern.  The fit-and-flare silhouette is defined by a cinched-in waist and a pleated skirt. The short sleeve cuffs and hem are finished with tactile fringing. At time of posting, the dress is still in stock in limited sizes, retailing for about US$450.
Picture
Today's event marked Prince George's first official royal engagement,  which included meeting with a
preselected group of families for some baby playtime. The heir to the British crown was just a regular little bub this afternoon as he played with ten other 8-month-old babies in the grand Blundell room of Government house.  This is the only event that George is scheduled to attend during his time in New Zealand and Australia.
Picture
Kate wore a new pair of black suede court shoes.  The shoes were identified as the Jimmy Choo 'Aimee'.  The Italian made pumps have a black suede upper and feature an almond toe with a  platform.
Picture
Picture
Kate's kept her jewellery to a minimum today, wearing her Mappin & Webb Fortune necklace, Annoushka pearl drops with Kiki hoop earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.

Prince George will retire from the spotlight for the remainder of the New Zealand leg of the tour, while his parents continue with their jam packed itinerary.  Tomorrow, the Duke and Duchess will travel to Blenheim to attend a wreath laying ceremony, followed by a visit to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Center where film director Sir Peter Jackson will give the royals a personal tour of his private plane collection.  Later that evening (local time), they will head back to Wellington to attend a State Reception at Government House hosted by the Governor General.

Royal Tour Day 1: Wellington

7/4/2014

 
The Royal Tour of New Zealand and Australia has commenced!  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince George briefly touched down in Sydney this morning before boarding a RNZAF aircraft to Wellington, where the tour will officially begin. 
Kate wore her Max Mara wrap dress for the flight transfer, first seen in February 2013 when she was about 12 weeks pregnant.  
Picture
She wore a pair of tan suede court shoes, believed to be the Manolo Blahnik Suede BB pumps, 
however there's active debate that they may be an old pair she has had for many years.  
Picture
Picture
Other possibilities include the Dune 'Appoint' court shoes and the R&B '5th Ave' pumps.

The outfit was a good choice for the three hour passage across the Tasman where she had to change mid-flight for the arrival into Wellington.  The Duchess emerged from the plane looking refreshed and regal in a red double breasted Catherine Walker 'Russian Greatcoat' with a sharply tailored military silhouette, high collar, full skirt and burnished silver buttons.  
Kate coordinated the coat with a red Jackie-O pillbox from Gina Foster.  The 'Seaford' hat features velour fur felt with a felt flower trim.
Picture
Kate also wore a stunning New Zealand silver fern brooch loaned from the Queen.  The brooch was a gift from the women of Auckland to Her Majesty in 1954 on her Commonwealth tour.
Picture
Kate coordinated the sparkly brooch with her beloved Kiki McDonough 'Grace' white topaz earrings.
Picture
Picture
On her feet were the Emmy 'Valerie' suede pumps in chocolate brown, which the Duchess has worn a few times since March 2012.
Picture
After disembarking in Wellington,  the royal couple enjoyed a ceremonial welcome at Government House.  This included a traditional Māori greeting, called a Hongi, and the Haka, a traditional ancestral war cry dance that was performed on the lawn at the stately home. 
Kate added her chocolate brown suede Emmy 'Natasha' clutch for the visit.

Picture
The young royal family then resided to a private hideaway just outside of the city, where they will spend the next day and a half trying to overcome their jet lag.
