The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge teamed up with Britain's Queen of TV cookery Mary Berry to cook up a festive feast to thank people connected to their patronages who will be working over the Christmas period.

UPDATE (16 DEC 2019): The full program is now available on YouTube:

The Duchess looked festive in a new red and white patterned dress from Alessandra Rich's AW19 collection (US$1,940).
Alessandra Rich AW19 red and white polka dot silk dress
Crafted in Italy from lightweight silk, it's printed with small polka dots and petals.  It  has structured padded shoulders and the pleated skirt falls to a sweeping midi length.  ​The off-the-rack dress features a keyhole neckline but Kate's version has a pussy-bow tie. The dress is currently reduced to $970 at Net-a-Porter, and down to $1,110 at Matches Fashion. It is full price at Moda Openadi.

Mary Berry accompanied William and Kate on several of their engagements throughout the year, where she got to learn more about the charities the royal couple support. The visits will be highlighted during the TV special.  The photo below was taken during Kate's engagement at RHS Garden Wisley in September.

In this never-before-seen photo, the Duchess is wearing a dark ribbed dress topped with a black belt and black suede boots. I will update the post if outfit details become available.
UPDATE (16 DEC 2019): Clearer pictures of the dress have become available via screen grabs and it's believed to be the bottle green Massimo Dutti High Neck Dress with Belt (US$130).

It's definitely a dress I think. It has a turtle neck. The top bit is with ridges (?). pic.twitter.com/62BFlaWq9i

Kate in Beulah 'Yahvi' dress for meeting with Tusk Awards nominees

21/11/2019

The Duchess of Cambridge was scheduled to join Prince William at the Tusk Awards this evening, but was forced to miss the event 'due to the children' according to a Kensington Palace spokesman.

During the ceremony, the Palace released a photo of Kate and William with the Tusk Awards nominees and finalists taken earlier in the day.

The Duchess wore her custom olive green Beulah London Yahvi Midi Dress.

Kate's version of the 'Yahvi' dress is made from 100% wool crepe and does not have the fluted sleeve. Instead it is fashioned with a three button cuff.  Below we see it on Kate when she wore it for the first time in January for a visit to the Family Action Lewisham centre.

The Duchess added a matching fabric belt today.
