The Occasion: Private view of her National Portrait Gallery painting.
The Outfit: A maroon, belted Whistles dress
The Buzz: Kate might have been spotted in a stalwart of British designers of late, but she made a determined return to the high street in this rouge dress from one of her favourite brands. Still no sign of a baby bump though!
The Occasion: Presenting duties at the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2012 Awards
The Outfit: A long, moss-green Alexander McQueen dress
The Buzz: This was Kate’s first public appearance since her pregnancy was announced alongside a hospital dash and, in yet another coup for the house of McQueen, she opted for a sober green Sarah Burton number . The tone for her maternity wardrobe has been set.
The Occasion: A visit to her alma mater, St Andrew's school in Berkshire
The Outfit: A tartan skirt suit by Alexander McQueen and high-heeled suede boots
The Buzz: Kate playing hockey is no biggie. But in a suit? And heels? Impressive stuff - and all the more shocking, it turned out, when, just days later, her pregnancy was hurriedlyannounced as she was hospitalised with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness.
The Occasion: The launch of the new Treasures gallery at the Natural History Museum in London
The Outfit: Mulberry's £1,400 'cabbage' dress
The Buzz: With her new Farrah Fawcett-style 'do and her demure, 70s-inspired dress, critics had a field day with this Kate look - one of the most fashion-forward statements we'd seen her make since the royal wedding. Of course, that's not why it will be remembered... The Duchess was, in fact, in the early stages of pregnancy here.
The Occasion: A fundraising event at her former university, St Andrews
The Outfit: A lace overlay gown by Temperley London, accessorised with a red bow clutch and gemstone-embellished poppy
The Buzz: The eagle-eyed among you won't need us to tell you that this is another high profile wardrobe repeat. Kate originally trod the red carpet in this Temperley gown at the rainy this Temperley gown at the rainy royal premiere of Spielberg's War Horse in January 2012. A quick dry clean later, it looks as good as new, no
The Occasion: The official launch of the National Football Centre in Burton-on-Trent
The Outfit: A forest green Emilia Wickstead dress coat, belted, with long suede boots
The Buzz: Having kept a low profile while that topless photos row rumbled on, we weren't in the slightest surprised to see Kate step out in this conservative Emilia Wickstead coat - which had, of course, drawn much admiration on its first outing, at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Aldershot. Looks like Lamps was impressed, too.
The Occasion: Stepping out on another date on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Diamond Jubilee Tour, this time for an official state dinner at the Malaysian National Palace
The Outfit: A white empire line gown, with gold appliqué and embroidery. The finishing touches? A coordinating gold clutch, gold earrings and gold bangleThe Buzz: While we think the colour choice (or lack of it!) isn’t the most flattering on English rose Kate, we love the traditional detailing of the dress – and the way her touches of gold help William’s royal blue suit really pop.
The Occasion: Paying a visit to the Assykirin Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as she and Prince William press on with their Diamond Jubilee Tour
The Outfit: An elegant, full-sleeved and below-the-knee bespoke dress by Beulah in summery silk chiffon, complete with matching head scarf and classic cream heelsThe Buzz: Kate remains respectful and elegant by covering her shoulders, arms, knees and head at the mosque in this dignified yet pretty piece.
The Occasion: Continuing her Royal tour of Singapore with Wills
The Outfit: A beautiful retro tea dress in egg shell blue, paired with a traditional Eastern parasol
The Buzz: The delicate embroidery, the pleated skirt, the whimsical parasol: this is an outfit made in Great Gatsby heaven! A thumbs up for the Duchess from us.
The Occasion: A tour of the Rolls Royce plant in Seletar during day two of the royal tour of Singapore
The Outfit: A cool and classic broiderie anglaise skirt suit by Alexander McQueen, paired with a Russell and Bromley clutch bag and Corkswoon wedges by Stuart Weizman for Russell and Bromley
The Buzz: With the newswires clanging about how Kate opted for water over wine at dinner the night before (shock!), the Duchess wasn’t giving anything away in this fitted white skirt suit by fave label, Alexander McQueen. Its light fabric was a smart choice in the humid conditions, and she later briefly accessorised it with a pair of goggles as she took a tour around the factory.
The Occasion: A welcoming ceremony prior to a state dinner during the royal tour of Singapore
The Outfit: A wool and silk-blend shift dress from Prabal Gurung’s spring/summer 2012 collection
The Buzz: Wow. Is this Kate’s most fashion forward look ever? It’s certainly a contender – and we like it. A lot. It also happens to be another
politically brilliant choice: Prabal Gurung is a Singapore-born designer in the New York stable and, with NY Fashion Week in full swing, it’s a nod of support for the industry from afar.
The Occasion: A visit to Singapore’s Botanical Gardens on the first day of the royal tour of Singapore
The Outfit: A pale pink, flower-embroidered dress by Jenny Packham
The Buzz: Kate stunned onlookers were stunned by her rather literal interpretation of Eastern style when she stepped off the plane in Changi airport in this kimono-shaped dress. As ever, however, its aptness can’t be downplayed: the royal couple were whisked straight off to a ceremony in Singapore’s Botanical Gardens for the unveiling of an orchid, named ‘Vanda William Catherine’ in their honour.
