The only new addition was a pair of hoop earrings. They are currently unidentified. Susan from What Kate Wore has good close-up photos of the earrings here. She thinks they might be sterling silver with three tiny segments in a gold tone.

The look wouldn't be complete without the gold three-leaf shamrock brooch, pinned just above her sprig of shamrock. The piece  belongs to the Irish Guards who loan it to Kate for the occasion.

FASHION FLASHBACK
Green has been the colour of choice for Kate for this traditional event, except for when she surprised us in 2015 by wearing a chestnut brown Catherine Walker ensemble. You may recall that the Duchess intentionally missed the 2016 parade.

Kate dons 'same but different' Alexander McQueen gown for Portrait Gala

13/3/2019

8 Comments

 
The Duchess of Cambridge attended the Portrait Gala last night at London's National Portrait Gallery in her role as Patron.
Embed from Getty Images
Kate has been Patron of the National Portrait Gallery since 2012, and this was the third fundraising Gala in her role as patron - the first was back in 2014, and again in 2017.

Kate stepped out in a new Alexander McQueen gown with a floral print identical to the custom gown she wore to the BAFTAs in 2017.
Embed from Getty Images
Embed from Getty Images
At first glance it appeared the original dress worn in 2017 had been reworked, and sleeves were added to the bodice. However, the brilliant Susan from What Kate Wore closely examined pictures of the two gowns and concluded they are different dresses because the print does not match up.
Embed from Getty Images
Kate teamed the patterned gown with her blackJimmy Choo 'Cosmic' suede platform pumps, and black Prada satin clutch with stone embellishment.

The Duchess topped off her dazzling look with the Kiki McDonough Special Editions Morganite Double Drop Earrings that were worn at Pippa’s wedding.

It was refreshing to see the Duchess step out in a blouse and trouser combination. She wore the Gucci pussy bow silk crepe blouse (£790).

The blouse is 100% silk satin georgette in a colour called ‘pale violet orchid.’ It features a relaxed silhouette, covered buttons on the back, and a high collar with a pussy bow. Kate wore the blouse backward as per stock photos and product description.

Kate teamed the blouse with her navy Jigsaw High Waisted Sport Luxe Trousers which she first wore in December 2018 for a trip to Cyprus.

She wore a new croc embossed belt which is unidentified.

Kate carried her Aspinal of London Lilac Small Croc Midi Mayfair Bag.

On her feet, Kate debuted a new pair on block heel pumps. @dataduchess2 suggests they are the Gianvito Rossi 'Piper' 85 suede pumps (US$695).
Picture
Today we saw the return of the much loved Links of London Hope Egg Earrings!  It's been almost 7 years since we last saw Kate wear these earrings in public!
