Kate Middleton’s D&G Look

Kate arrived at the event as fashionable as ever, donning a high-neck deep purple Guipure lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana.

The designing duo admitted two years ago that they had wanted to dress her. “She dresses ‘just right’, as we’d say in Italy. Nothing too exciting, no excesses. Which is what is called for, in a princess,” they told The Telegraph. “She has class. If she asked us, of course we’d design something for her.”

The Duchess of Cambridge paired her $3485 D&G dress with matching suede court shoes and clutch. Kate wore her hair in soft bouncy curls, parted to the side.

The mother-of-two arrived to greet the Chinese president and his wife with her husband, Prince William.
