The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the UK Holocaust Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony at Central Hall in Westminster today. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Kate wore her bespoke grey Catherine Walker dress, first seen on an outing with The Queen in March last year.
The Duchess carried her black velvet Jimmy Choo 'Celeste' clutch, and on her feet were her black suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.
Kate completed the look with her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings.
To commemorate the anniversary, The Duchess of Cambridge has taken portraits of two Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren. 
The images depict the connection between a survivor and younger generations of their family, who will carry the legacy of their grandparents. The portraits will be part of a new exhibition which will open later this year, bringing together 75 powerful images of survivors and their family members to mark 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.
Kensington Palace also shared behind-the-scenes photos of the Duchess when she met Holocaust survivors Steven Frank and Yvonne Bernstein ahead of the photo shoot at Kensington Palace.

In the above photos, the Duchess is wearing a plaid midi skirt with a black turtleneck top. The skirt is the Gucci pleated checked wool-twill midi skirt. A big thanks to Georgie’s Mum for the ID. 
The only other identifiable pieces are her tweed J.Crew Avery Heels and Daniella Draper Personalised Gold Midnight Moon Necklace.
While it may seem frivolousness to comment on Kate's clothing for today's sombre commemorations, this blog is solely dedicated to cataloging Kate's sartorial choices. I hope this causes no offense. - Elizabeth xo

Skirt ID by @georgies.mum (IG) seems to be by Gucci (still available in limited sized on net-a-porter).

How wonderful, todays event just show how both William and Catherine understand the importance of duty. The photos are amazing how special and what a wonderful connection through the art of photography . I like Catherine repeating her clothes its always nice and it great to see how she mixes them up.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your thoughtfulness in you closing notes. It is somber day and hopefully we will find it within us to overcome any hatred and prejudices towards other communities, nationalities or religions.

A wonderful service at the Commemorative Ceremony, very thought provoking and sombre. The Duke and Duchess did marvellously. The repeat of her dress was perfect for this occasion. She looked understated but elegant. These pictures are superb, the Duchess has found her niche and is really shining right now. Well done.

The skirt identification isn't correct. The tartan is different and the pleats do not start from the line of the waist but further down.

Fani, the check pattern is a match and the pleats on the Gucci skirt do start further down around the hips x

I'm not a fan of check shoes against a check skirt, but then Kate wasn't dressing for the public here, but was relatively informal in her own home. The skirt looks stunning, I hope we see it again sometime. Kate's portraits are first quality, and seem like a step further on from the ones she took in Pakistan. A woman of many talents.
