Kate repeats Alexander McQueen favourite for Palace Garden Party 

11/6/2014

 
Following a breakfast reception at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, the Duchess of Cambridge dashed back to London to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace.  Also in attendance was Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip, who was celebrating his 93rd birthday.

Catherine changed out of her Jaeger contrast crepe dress and into the much-adored Alexander McQueen champagne lace dress, first worn two years earlier to the Queen's Jubilee National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.

For today's event, Kate opted to remove the tonal sash belt and complete her look with new accessories.  The Duchess wore a new hat from Jane Corbett Millinery which is a bespoke piece designed to coordinate with her frock.

Kate accessorized with a new pair of nude patent heels which are currently unidentified. One possibility is the LK Bennett 'Florete' pumps.

She carried her Russell and Bromley nude patent 'Park Avenue' clutch.

She kept her jewellery to a minimum, wearing only her Annoushka baroque pearl drops with Kiki hoop earrings (in addition to her wedding rings, of course!).

SHOP KATE'S GARDEN PARTY STYLE FOR LESS ...

12/06/2014 - ID UPDATE
Ashley Marie contacted LK Bennett regarding their 'Florete' pumps, but they wrote that this was not the style the Duchess wore to the Garden party.  I then contacted Russell & Bromley to ask if their '5th Ave' court shoes could be an ID. They responded with a denial but did claim that the '5th Ave' style used to be available in beige patent (the same colour/fabric as her R&B 'Park Ave' clutch).  Ashley Marie persisted with this and managed to get a hold of someone more knowledgeable at R&B. They confirmed that the '5th Ave' style is indeed the one the Duchess wore. Despite my efforts and the misinformation I was given by Russell & Bromley, I'm delighted that Ashely Marie got to the truth!

The '5th Ave' court shoe in beige patent was from their 2013 collection and is no longer available. It is currently available in a variety of shades and fabrics.  These point toe courts feature a slim 8cm heel height.
