The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge resumed their royal tour today following a day off spent at their new home base, Government House in Canberra. This morning, the royal couple departed the Australian capital and traveled to the Red Centre, where they visited Australia's iconic natural landmark, Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock.
The Duchess stepped off the plane wearing a Roksanda Ilincic dress which initially appeared to be a darker shade of her Roksanda Ilincic 'Peridot' Crepe Dress first worn in 2011 (shown below).
According to WhatKateWore, Roksanda Ilincic released a similar design to the 'Peridot' dress called the 'Lovina,' which is shown here in aqua. The 'Lovina' features a simpler design, lacking some of the distinctive elements of the 'Peridot,' such as the mesh trim, peplum back, and exposed full-back zipper.
Kate swapped the original self-tie belt of the 'Lovina' dress for a different style, opting for a sand-toned suede belt that complemented her customized Alexander McQueen suede clutch perfectly. It wouldn't be surprising if the belt itself was a bespoke piece from McQueen.
On her feet were her trusty LK Bennett Sledges.
We saw the return of the Catherine Zoraida 'Double Leaf' gold earrings which the Duchess has donned on a few occasions since she originally wore them during the Jubilee Tour of Southeast Asia in 2012.
Kate again wore her Asprey London gold 'Woodland' necklace, consisting of an acorn, mushroom and leaf charms.
Upon arriving, the Duke and Duchess visited the National Indigenous Training Academy which trains members of the indigenous communities near Uluru in tourism and hospitality.
This was followed by a “Welcome to Country” ceremony, performed by members of the local indigenous communities at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre.
Kate made a wardrobe change for the ceremony. She wore her Hobbs 'Wessex' dress cinched with the Hobbs 'Neston' ivory woven belt. On her feet were the natural Pied a Terre Imperia wedges.
This is the exact same ensemble she wore on her visit to Bacon's College London in July 2012.
The Duke and Duchess concluded the afternoon with a guided tour along the base of Uluru.
The Duke and Duchess will spend the evening "glamping" at the Longitude 131 resort nestled on a secluded sand dune overlooking the iconic monolith.
