Designed in a green and cream patterned silk, the 'Mortimer' dress has a fitted waist to help shape an hourglass silhouette, while the pussy-bow detail adds a feminine touch to this button-down design.

She teamed it with her LK Bennett 'Dora' Khaki Suede Clutch and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito' 85 dark olive suede pumps (US$675) which she debuted last week in Cyprus.

The dark olive pointed-toe pumps are also available in a shorter 70 mm heel at My Theresa, and higher 105 mm heel at Budapester.
