This is a very polished outfit with more than a subtle acknowledgement to her hosts. The pairing of bright and dark greens in the accessories lifts this to a memorable outfit. Duchess Kate looks stunning when she enters Áras an Uachtaráin as you see this very pretty dress with its pleated peplum in its entirety. The bright colour of the clutch is on point. Not many women could wear that peplum so well.

To me, the headband looks different to the Jane Taylor one she wore to the Armistice centenary service in 2018. Perhaps it is sitting further back on her head on this occasion and doesn't appear as high.

Yes, I saw someone claiming it was by Zara: https://www.zara.com/us/en/velvet-headband-p03920210.html

Stephanie, your observations are correct! I agree with Charlotte, I believe it's by Zara.

This outfit is beautiful, I love the way the shades of green come together. I love to see Kate wearing a headpiece again! Also, could you expand the hats/headbands section? Thanks!

A beautiful, elegant outfit. Love the double breasted coat, it fits and flows superbly, the addition of the buttons on point, the shade of green is glorious. A nice change to the military theme. The silk Peplum dress suits the Duchess perfectly, with her height it looks simply marvellous. The colour of the suede clutch and choice of shoes is excellent. Oh, those daisy diamond earrings are just divine. I am not a fan of headbands, but the Duchess's hair looks great this length.

without the coat I don’t like the outfit. The dress is so overwhelming in my opinion. I usually love everything she wears but this dress I just don’t like it. I do love the coat and earrings and obviously she still gorgeous even with the ugly dress.

Outfit is ok. Not terribly exciting. I love the big dog though! So fluffy and cute!

I have great respect for the Duchess of Cambridge. Her choice to wear the colour green for their first day in Ireland is very thoughtful and respectful. She takes her duty very seriously.

The shades of green in Kate's outfit between her coat, dress and accessories are lovely. I like the dress, but I feel the style details of the dress (which are lovely) are lost with the bold pattern of the fabric - At first sight I didn't even notice the peplum.

As usual, Catherine does look lovely and very elegant.

I don’t like the dress at all. The coat is beautiful. The dress is hideous.
