The Venetian wool coatdress combines elements from the designer's Rosa and Melrose styles. Kate's bespoke design has an embroidered overlay with extends just beyond the hemline, giving the front of the coat a scalloped edge.

The Duchess wore her bespoke cream Jane Taylor hat, first seen for Princess Charlotte’s christening. For jewelry, Kate donned a new pendant necklace paired with her aquamarine and diamond drop earrings. She has worn the earrings on many occasions but they still remain unidentified.

They are the 'Gianvito 105' style by Gianvito Rossi. However, the exact colour is unknown. There are a few options available from different stockists in a similar hue. They could in fact all be the same colour but each retailer may have it's own name for the shade. Variations in colour between the stock photos is expected because they would have been taken under different lighting conditions.

Antique Rose

Praline

Blush

ID UPDATE (15/06/2016):

I've been in contact with Gianvito Rossi and they have confirmed that Kate wears their Gianvito 105 suede pumps in 'Praline'. This is the official name of the colour. Stockists such as Net-a-Porter have renamed the shade in their description, hence the confusion. As I suspected, all these shoes are actually the same hue!
