Well, I loved last week’s yellow repeats, but this is a stunner! Kate looked sleek, elegant and fabulous! Even if she repeats it almost immediately for trooping the colour or Garter Day, I won’t mind at all.

That's funny, Diana popped into my mind the second I saw Catherine at this event! Great minds think alike. Catherine could not have looked more perfect for this ship christening. She was just elegant and beautiful.

Catherine personifies grace and beauty! And what I really love about her is her kindness and connection with others.

For me the stand out at this event was William and how comfortable he is taking the back seat while Kate is in the lime light at “her” event. Not something either his father or grandmother did with so much ease.

But at the same time you never get the feeling that Kate “steals” William’s lime light. Just as he was walking two steps behind here, Kate happily let William have the lime light at other times.

I agree Rachel, those two are so completely comfortable with each other. Neither seem to have any desire for the limelight except to shine it on their causes.

Stunning look pairing the dress with that gorgeous hat! I also went through a long Diana phase, and I vividly remember the hat and ensemble you cite here!

Kate is a master at diplomatic dressing. Her outfit echoes the Scottish flag as well as the Scottish Navy dress uniform.

This event has been years in the making. Catherine has been a part of this ship’s process from the start. It’s a huge example of her role-from meeting the crew to the economic impact of the design/ building in Glasgow, historical context of the role of the ship from here on. Her role with the ship and it’s crew will be ongoing She and her team hit it out of the park with her whole presentation at the dedication. It’s engagement like this that gives the role of POW it’s power. Here it’s beautifully reflected in her clothes.

I didn't realize this historical aspect of the ship's relationship with Catherine existed. Thank you for the information Elizabeth, so interesting!

Loved this outfit and the brooch was a wonderful addition. Just not a fan of the nude pumps.
