Duchess Kate starts the New Zealand Tour in Catherine Walker Red
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and that gorgeous cutie Prince George have arrived in New Zealand for their much anticipated tour, with Kate totally wowing in bright and vibrant red. On the windiest of days, the Duchess opted for a designer that harked back to previous royal tours of Australia and New Zealand by wearing a design from the design house of Catherine Walker. Catherine Walker, was, of course, the favourite designer of Diana, Princess of Wales. The press have already picked up on this, with some suggesting this is another tribute to Prince William’s mother. I’m not so sure of this, I think Kate chose red as a…

Duchess Kate’s final Canadian looks take a cowgirl twist.
The Canadian leg of the royal tour came to an end with the Calgary stampede, which saw Duchess Kate in a white leather Stetson, cowboy boots and bootcut jeans. Dressing perfectly to fit the occasion, Kate reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor in Giant as she enjoyed the Calgary festivities.

Kate teamed this with a pair of bootcut jeans from Goldsign – the Passion bootcut style that saw a move away from the J Brand skinnies that she seemed…

Wow! Am I enjoying this royal tour. As the weather in Canada continues to scorch, the gorgeous Duchess of Cambridge turns the temperatures up even further with her endless parade of perfect looks.

With her elegant upswept hairdo, and accessorising with black Prada heels and another Anya Hindmarch bag, this time a neat clutch , this was an understated look that suited Kate perfectly. I love that she…

Kate goes for Military Chic at medals ceremony.
Princess Diana had that knack of wearing clothes that just seemed to fit the occasion, notably a white military style outfit by Catherine Walker that was christened the ‘Little drummer’ boy outfit by the press, when she wore it to Sandhurst on one occasion. Today Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has shown that same touch of the dramatic when she attended a medals ceremony for the Irish Guards, at Windsor Barracks, wearing a navy blue military style, double-breasted coat/dress and small hat and clutch bag. She accessorised with a stunning three-leaf clover badge on her coat. This is a fantastic stylish look for Kate, although she is still looking very slim.…
