Duchess Kate in Pale Blue Alexander McQueen dress for Trooping the Colour

9/6/2018

8 Comments

 
Queen Elizabeth II officially celebrated her 92nd birthday today with the Trooping the Colour parade. Although Her Majesty was born on 21 April, it has long been the tradition to publicly celebrate the Monarch's birthday on a day in the summer.

For the procession down the Mall, Kate rode in a carriage with Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Meanwhile, Prince William was on horseback alongside his father and Princess Anne, in their roles as Colonels.

Following the parade, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were reunited on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for the traditional RAF fly-past where they were joined by their adorable children.

Kate looked radiant today in a pale mint blue Alexander McQueen dress featuring a square neckline and puffed 3/4 sleeves. (If you would like details on Meghan Markle's outfit please visit my sister site meghansfashion.com)

The design of the bespoke box pleated dress resembles elements of this off-the-rack piece by Alexander McQueen (found by @PerthsFashion).

The pastel hue is consistent with the subtle tones of previous years, bar 2017 when she opted for a vibrant pink Alexander McQueen dress.

The Duchess donned a new bespoke hat by Juliette Botterill. I believe this is the first time Kate has worn a headpeice by the London based milliner.

She accessorized with her Blue Topaz and Diamond earrings and matching 'Flower' necklace by Kiki McDonough.

Unfortunately there are no clear photos of Kate's clutch bag, however @PerthsFashion believes the clasp features a dragonfly and suggests it could be by Alexander McQueen.

I will update the post if we get a positive ID for the minaudiere.

My favourite outfit is 2017, that pink is gorgeous!
This year's is beatiful, but I don't like the sleeves. I don't know much about hats, I am from Spain and this kind of things looks weird for me, sorry! I can better understand the kind of hat the Duchess of Cornwall is wearing, or even the Queen 😅
About her hair, I think this kind of low chinogs are perfect for her.

Do you know what clutch she is holding? She looks absolutely beautiful as always.

I love this look on Kate. I wish someone knew of a good "Replikate" for the earrings and necklace. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on this site. I really like it!!

I think six out of those eight Trooping the Colour outfits are Alexander McQueen and, in my opinion the six best ones too. I don't think Kate has reworn the 2014 outfit in public since (nor the 2017 outfit but that is understandable because she was pregnant for much of the time since last summer). I am quite glad not to have seen 2015 again - it was my least favourite Kate outfit ever. Most of the time she just looks amazing.

Wow the colour is wonderful Catherine certainly looks regal, her outfit is stylish and refined. Good to see different hats and finished off with nice jewellery. Catherine always looks the part. Love the family shots.

I wonder if the bag is the Alexander McQueen Butterfly box clutch with a different clasp??

It's most likely by Alexander McQueen!
