The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Paris this afternoon to commence a two-day visit of the French capital. They were greeted by French President François Hollande at the Élysée Palace.

​Much to our surprise, the Duchess sported the same Catherine Walker coat and accessories she wore for the St Patrick's Day parade earlier today. She did however remove the hat and opted to wear her hair down.

Following the visit to Élysée Palace and a wardrobe change, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived for a reception at the British Embassy wearing a chic black Alexander McQueen midi dress.

The British fashion house crafted the sleeveless dress with a tweed fabric and frayed trim - trademark elements of French design.

The design is based off this ready-to-wear piece from McQueen.

On her feet, Kate debuted the Gianvito Rossi Ankle Strap Suede D'orsay Pumps (£530). The black suede pumps have a d’Orsay silhouette with a pointed-toe and finished with a thin buckle ankle strap. They are available in several sizes at Lane Crawford and Barneys, and Spring.

Tomorrow will be another busy day for the royal couple. They will visit Les Invalides to see how the site supports veterans, as well as victims of the recent Paris attacks, and later attend the Wales v France Six Nations test at the Stade de France.
