The Duchess of Cambridge attended a performance of The Nutcracker last night at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. She visited in a private capacity but there were a few social media posts showing the Duchess after the ballet performance.

So, I basically spend my life at the ROH and I am home in Italy when Kate watches #rohnutcracker?! □ my heart aches #royalballet #duchessofcambridge

Kate was in the black Zara cape she wore to the Queen’s pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day.
Picture
Picture
Under the cape we got a glimpse of the Alexander McQueen Petal Print Oversized Mini Dress which she was first spotted wearing last week for the annual staff Christmas party at the Beach Blanket Babylon bar last week. The dress is still available at Alexander McQueen, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Ave.

She teamed the pieces with a black knit cardigan, tights and booties. I will update the post if better resolution photos emerge.

The lunch was a private family affair but photographers managed to get some snaps of the guests as they entered the gates of the Palace including Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle.

The Duchess of Cambridge along with her royal tots, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were spotted en route to the Palace with Prince William behind the wheel and Nanny Maria in the back with the kids.

It appears Kate wore the Zara Long Cloth Cape (US$149) as suggested by LadyParky on Twitter.

The Duchess teamed it with a black faux-fur collar. Kate M Cambridge suggested on Twitter that could be the Jigsaw ‘Faux Fur Tippet,’ however the piece is no longer available.

Kate wore a plum dress or top under the cape. It's most likely her Goat 'Eloise' Plum Tunic Dress which she recently debuted at the Place2Be School Leaders Forum last month.

Kate wore a familiar pair of statement chandelier earrings. The costume earrings date back to 2007 and she has worn them on a handful of occasions including the 2014 Christmas luncheon and during the 2016 royal tour of India.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Manchester today to attend the Children’s Global Media Summit.
Picture
The Summit brings together creatives, technology innovators, policymakers, executives and thought leaders from around the globe to inform and redesign the future of media for Generation U and explore the impact that digital technology will have in children's futures.
Kate arrived at the Manchester Central Convention Complex wearing the LK Bennett 'Delli' Check Coat (£495). 
Picture
Picture
Cut from a fine black and white houndstooth weave in virgin wool, the coat is a new addition to Kate's closet.  It features a high crew neckline, concealed button-down front and two useful flap pockets to the front that boast a military-inspired aesthetic. Falling to a mid-calf length, the detachable waist belt provides a flattering shaping accent. It is currently available at LK Bennett (UK) and John Lewis.
Picture
Kate took off her coat to reveal the Goat 'Elodie' Tunic Dress in Berry (£450.00) 
Picture
Picture
Feminine and flattering the Elodie tunic dress in vibrant red has been intricately crafted with a pleat detail on the sleeves and a gathered funnel collar.
GOAT ELODIE TUNIC DRESS IN BERRY RED
The Duchess has a penchant for Goat Fashion when she is expecting. This is the fourth time she has stepped out in a piece by the London fashion label during her pregnancy.  Despite the fact that Goat isn’t a maternity clothing line, the brand's signature shift silhouettes are a good choice for anyone with a changing figure.

Duchess Kate debuts dazzling diamonds for Diplomatic Reception

5/12/2017

0 Comments

 
This evening the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Diplomatic Reception hosted by The Queen at Buckingham Palace. The annual white-tie soirée is one of the most formal events on the royal calendar. Over 1,000 people from around 130 countries, including members of the British government and past Prime Ministers attend the gathering.
Embed from Getty Images
It is a private function and the public usually only gets a glimpse as guests arrive at the palace.
Embed from Getty Images
From the little photos were have from the event, we see that Kate donned her 'go-to' tiara - the Queen Mary Lover's Knot tiara. It was once the signature diadem of the late Princess of Wales.
Picture
Tonight the Duchess paired the tiara with Princess Diana's Collingwood diamond and pearl drop earrings, and a new diamond collet necklace on loan from Her Majesty.
Embed from Getty Images
This was Kate's fourth Diplomatic Reception attendance. Here we see the Duchess arriving at Buckingham Palace in previous years.

Kate spotted around London in Zara checked coat

3/12/2017

The Daily Mail posted a few candid photos of Kate last week showing the Duchess out and about in London near ​King's Cross St Pancras Station.
Picture

Kate wore a new season Zara checked coat (US$169 / SOLD OUT) - ID by @Giulia_lelepug.  The coat is fashioned with lapel collar, long sleeves, front double-piped pockets and vent at the back of them.

The outfit consisted of her Iris and Ink Grace Sweater and Mulberry Midnight Polly Push Lock Bag.

She also wore black suede ankle boots we've not seen before. The make is difficult to identify due to the limited photos.  ​One of my readers, Natalya suggests they could be the Russell & Bromley 'Crush Hour' Slouchy Ankle Boot (£185) which appears to be a good match for Kate's booties. However, without hi-res photos we cannot make a confident ID.
