Such a stunning look from Kate, I love the floral link-up from the dress pattern to the Lotus tiara. I'm impressed at such a sultry colour too, coupled with the oriental hint in the tiara. Jenny Packham delivered the goods again.

The tiara looks worlds better on this outing, set a little more forward this time, and Kate’s hair looking as if it might be benefiting from a hair-piece at the crown, giving a stronger base.

Love seeing the diamond frame earrings again, they've always looked well on Kate. Definitely a winning outfit for her first appearance at thus major event as Princess of Wales.

So happy to see the Lotus tiara again! It frames Kate's face perfectly and I love the way she wore her hair down and parted. The stunning gown is a work of art and a quintessential JP design. I winning look IMO

Love this so much! Having her hair down is much prettier than the tight style at the state dinner last week. Gorgeous all the way around!

The Princess of Wales looks exquisite. The gown is a work of art, gorgeous rich pop of color. The Lotus tiara looks splendid, her hair down, works beautifully. Love the diamond brooch, lovely to see it again. Her diamond earrings look divine. Her makeup and hair are perfect.
