Kate revives a familiar maternity style for Family Action centre visit

14/11/2017

0 Comments

 
The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Hornsey Road Children's Centre today. She had been due to visit in early September but had to cancel her engagement as she was battling severe morning sickness, which lead to the announcement of her third pregnancy.
Picture

During this visit, the Duchess learned about Family Action's perinatal mental health services and met parents benefiting from its resources, including antenatal and postnatal services, a nursery and play groups.
Picture
Kate revived an outfit from her first pregnancy for today's outing in London. She sported nearly the exact same look except the boots for an engagement with Prince William at Child Bereavement UK in 2013 while pregnant with Prince George.
Picture
Picture
The outfit consists of the Goat 'Redgrave' coat in nude (US$890) atop the black Topshop Peter Pan collar dress.
Picture
Picture
Kate teamed it with her black Mulberry 'Bayswater' suede clutch and Stuart Weitzman HalfNHalf Black Suede Boots.
Picture
Picture
She topped off the outfit with her beloved Annoushka Pearl and Kiki Diamond Hoop Earrings.

Solemn Kate in new black Dolce & Gabbana Coat for Remembrance Sunday service

12/11/2017

1 Comment

 
This morning members of the royal family attended the annual Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.  The Duchess of Cambridge attended the ceremony and watched the service from the Foreign Office balcony alongside Princess Alexandra and The Countess of Wessex.
Picture
Kate wore a new black coat by Dolce & Gabbana for the solemn occasion.
Picture
She picked out the 'Collarless Long Coat' (US$4,500) from the Fall/Winter 2016 collection of the Italian fashion house. The black wool and silk-blend double breasted button-down coat features a collarless design, round neckline, buttonhole on the front, front flap pockets, long sleeves, pleated waist, mid-calf length and straight hem.

Kate teamed it with her black felt Philip Treacy hat.
Picture
The wide-brimmed chapeau was first worn at William's Passing-Out Parade in 2006, and again at the 2012 Remembrance Sunday service.
Picture
Picture
Other familiar items included her Oscar de la Renta Pearl Sun Star Button Earrings, and a cluster of Royal British Legion paper poppies.
Picture
Picture
We got a glimpse of a new handbag. Kate carried the Emmy London 'Natasha' Jet & Gold clutch (£350) - a style she already owns in a few different colourways.

There was also another déjà vu debut. Kate wore the black Cornelia James 'Beatrice' gloves (£70) - a style she already owns in navy.

The highlight of today's look was Kate's new faux bob hairstyle. The iillusion was created by carefully tucking her long locks under and pinning them back just above her shoulders. The style definitely suits the Duchess, and perhaps she's testing out the new style before making the decision to cut her hair short!

Kate debuts black velvet Catherine Walker coat for Festival of Remembrance

11/11/2017

0 Comments

 
The Duchess of Cambridge attended the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening.
Picture
She joined the Queen, Prince Philip and other senior members of the Royal Family at London's Royal Albert Hall for the British Legion's traditional televised service.
Picture
The Festival commemorates all those who have lost their lives in conflicts and it is usually attended by the Royal Family.  It is organized by the Royal British Legion and is held every year on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.
Picture
Usually accompanied by Prince William, Kate went solo this year. William was in Wales for the Wales vs. Australia rugby match in his new role as patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, taking on that duty from Her Majesty.
Picture
As expected, the Duchess wore an all-black ensemble. She debuted a bespoke velvet coat by Catherine Walker. The piece appears to be a long version of the designer's ‘Caressa’ jacket. It is crafted from silk velvet and finished with large Swarovski buttons made of jet, glass and silver.

Kate teamed the velvet coat dress with her black Magid beaded vintage clutch and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Black Suede Pumps.
Picture
Picture
We saw the return of Princess Diana's Collingwood diamond and pearl drop earrings. You may recall Kate first wore them at the Spain state banquet in July.
Picture
The Duchess finished the ensemble with a poppy brooch we’ve not seen before. The large single poppy in support of the The Royal British Legion appears to be made from either paper of felt.
Picture
It is the third consecutive year Kate has attended the performance. Below we see her in 2015 wearing a black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress, and in 2016 in the Temperley London 'Callas' evening coat.

The Duchess of Cambridge has stepped out for a glittering gala tonight, carrying out an engagement for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) in her role as Patron.

Kate decided on a repeat and wore her Diane von Furstenberg 'Zarita' Black Lace Gown which she debuted for the Royal Variety Performance in November 2014.

The Duchess loaned Her Majesty's diamond orbital teardrop earrings.

She also donned a diamond quartrefoil bracelet we have not seen her wear before. The ornate piece once belonged to the Queen Mother and was likely handed down as part of a vast collection of jewelry given to Queen Elizabeth II after her mother’s death in 2002.

Kate pinned a red poppy brooch to her to chest in honour of Remembrance Day. It looks it may be The Poppy Collection ® Medium Brooch Gold Tone (£14.99).
