The bespoke floor-length dress featured delicate layers of pleated tulle in a soft array of pinks. She complemented the romantic hues with a burgundy velvet waistband. An apt choice on the eve of Valentine's Day!

The dress is glamorous but I can;t help but feel Kate look a little washed out in this color. Regardless, she looks every inch the princess!

My initial response is wow...

I also love this clutch. Appropriate for evening and perfect complement.

An extraordinary gown, at once so simple and yet so cunning with that completely unusual contrast bodice band which takes a diversion over the arms as well. Extraordinary. I was reminded of the purple the clutch and belt Kate wore with her grey tweed Erdem to another V&A event though these are quite different, and add a welcome touch of definition to the floating dress fabric. Thanks so much for reminding me where we had seen those earrings before, they are spot on with this Gucci dress. Kate is in her prime here.

The dress is such a beautiful color and it looks like Kate is wearing eyeshadow to match.

the dress is lovely except the weird contrasting on the bodice. I do not like that. The rest is stunning.

I agree with e every word you said, she looks lovely. Thou there are a few issues, the pleated tulle shirt needed to be cut at least inch and a half shorter in the front, because in all the pictures you can see Kate stepping on the material. I think the waistline that was accent with a velvet band was requested by Kate, it should have been tack so it did not move around. I have said this before, there should be a in-house tailor that does these last minute alterations when there are changes with shoes, belts etc.

The Duchess looks lovely. Personally not a fan of the dress, the top area looks like bandaging. Her accessories, YES the handbag really nice and shoes a total win.

Catherine looks beautiful as always . I really like this dress, the colors are very beautiful, the hairstyle, makeup, and accessories are on point. Even though I like this dress I don't think it will be beat the beautiful white McQueen from Sunday. Catherine has been on point lately and I'm here for it because I think she has a new stylist since her current stylist Natasha is on maternity leave. Looking forward to see the Cambridges again soon.

I like the dress the whold outfit, because of her brown hair with the half up style hair-do she look like seriously Disney princeses I saw in my books, Talk about having a great stylest plus natural beauty.
Their is something about the color that does wash her out, as beautiful as the Morganite Kiki McDonough's are maybe a completementing colored Gemstone earring, Like the Emerald and Diamond one's she wore in Stud form at the BAFT's in 2018. Also maybe a burgundy shoes she did wear a similar verion of these De La Renta heels from Jimmy Choo. Well anyways thanks for your hard work on this lovely post.
