The Duchess wore her black Alexander McQueen Tuxedo Jacket.

We finally got a better look at the round gem pendant necklace Kate has been wearing over the past few weeks.

From the photo above, it's clear the necklace is the Astley Clarke Round Stilla Lapis Lazuli Pendant Necklace, as first suggested by @LadyParky79.  The £160 demi-fine pendant features a table-cut lapis lazuli gemstone, set in 18 carat yellow gold plated sterling silver.  The 'Stilla' pendant is finished with a gold nugget detail and Astley Clarke's signature star-set lapis lazuli tag.

It appears Kate debuted a pair of small hoop earrings.

ID UPDATE (11 Mar 2021):  Following Kate's visit to School 21, where she re-wore the huggie hoops, we were able to get a better look at the earrings. They were identified as the Orelia Gold Chain Huggie Hoop Earrings (£15).
