I vividly remember this event because I loved the outfit so much. Would love to see it again.

I agree! Loved the dress, (on her of course) but the earrings were a no go for me as well.

I loved it then and it is still a favorite. I cannot believe those earrings are $1000. I thought they were just a fun costume piece.

I loved it then as I do now. I believe Kate loved it too.

I have always loved this look. She really rocks it, and I think few people could. I’d like very to see her wear it again.

always loved that Erdem dress. Just the right balance of classic + edgy.

This was then and is now one of my all time favourite outfits on Kate pretty and feminine and full of personality the earrings are the only question mark for me I don’t think they add value to the outfit

Loved it then and now. Neutral about earrings. Wouldn’t be my style!

I too love the dress! The contrast between the formal, monochrome Prince of Wales check and the less formal, swishy flow of the skirt is knock-out-of-the-park gorgeous, as are the wonderful burgundy accessories. Like some others, I’m not keen on the earrings, but they work with the outfit. Longer skirt lengths and frayed edges seem to be popular again right now so Catherine could wear the dress again if she wanted to.

This is one of my all-time favorite outfits of Kate's, though I initially wasn't sold on the ribbon belt until I saw it coordinated with the dress lining. I actually like the earrings - they remind me of something I would see in a museum gift shop (though not for $1000), so it's a nice case of dressing for the venue. I'd love a re-wear but she would have to choose the event carefully as it's not your basic cocktail dress.

I'm wondering if you plan to address Meghan's return to Instagram and the launch of her new lifestyle brand. It doesn't seem to have gone down all that well, at least in the corners of the internet I inhabit.

I liked it as it reminded me in color and print of my childhood American Girls doll, Samantha whose signature outfit has the same colorway and details.
