Royal Tour Day 17: Adelaide - Duchess in blush pink McQueen outfit

23/4/2014

 
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge flew into Adelaide this morning looking refreshed from their overnight stay in Uluru.

Catherine looked stunning in a blush pink ensemble from Alexander McQueen.  The outfit appears to be separates featuring a knit peplum top with cropped sleeves and a matching skirt with fluid pleats. Below are similar ready-to-wear pieces from a previous seasonal collection by Alexander McQueen.

A close-up of the top in sunlight shows fine woollen type fibres. This is most likely a bespoke outfit with the details yet to be confirmed.

Today, we saw the return of Kate's favourite accessories combination; the 'Sledge' patent pumps and 'Natalie' straw clutch both from LK Bennett.

Today's events were based in the working-class suburb of Elizabeth, named after Queen Elizabeth II, who visited the area in 1963. The Duke and Duchess spent time engaging with the disadvantaged youth in the area. Their first stop was a visit to the Northern Sound System, a community-run music workshop that gives young people the chance to rehearse, record and perform their own music.

The royal couple then moved outside where Prince William added a blue sky to an aerosol art display.

This was followed by a an exhibition of BMX and scooter stunts by the local teens.

It was then on to the Playford Civic Centre where William and Kate unveiled a plaque to commemorate the naming of the new Prince George Plaza.

This was followed by a short walkabout, and then a civic reception co-hosted by the Governor of South Australia and Acting Premier of South Australia. It was also attended by 200 guests, all under the age of 30.

Later that afternoon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to their home base in Canberra to be reunited with baby Prince George.  You can read full details of today's events on the official website of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

16th July 2014 - UPDATE
It has emerged that Catherine's Alexander McQueen ensemble is a dress, not a separate skirt and top as we originally thought.  It is from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The dress features a peplum waist with an asymmetrical hem. It is fabricated from a blend of 90%  wool and 10% cashmere. It was recently made available for purchase from mytheresa.com for £ 1,985.
