For the Service of Thanksgiving, Catherine chose a white long-sleeved midi dress with black polka dots by Alessandra Rich, a custom piece she previously wore for the Order of the Garter Service in June 2023. The dress, with its timeless 1940s-inspired silhouette, was a fitting nod to the historical significance of the occasion.

Its lovely to see a rewear of this elegant and beautiful dress. It fits perfectly. The pearl earrings are beautiful and a lovely addition.

This isn't my favourite dress but it works for the event. I love the hat. I'm a little confused by the mix of brown and black accessories for a black and white dress ?

The dress was an impeccable choice for the VE Day 80th anniversary service, beautifully honoring the occasion’s historical significance. While the camel accessories slightly soften the ensemble’s overall impact, they reflect a thoughtful effort to modernize the look with a contemporary touch.
