Fashion for 2011: Duchess of Cambridge: Canada & North America Tour
1. Fashion for 2011: Duchess of Cambridge: Canada &
North America Tour
We track the Duchess of Cambridge style as she makes her first visit overseas.
Day 10: On the final day of her first state visit, Catherine wore a navy and white
crochet top and white pleat skirt, both from high-street store Whistles.
2. Day 9: For the BAFTA celebrations Kate wowed the crowds with this pale lilac
Alexander McQueen gown. She also wore a pair of Jimmy Choo ‘Vamp Glitter’
sandals in champagne.
3. Day 9: The royal couple attended a polo match in Santa Barbara to which Kate wore
another Jenny Packham dress. Rather than wearing her usual court shoes, Kate
opted for a pair of nude patent LK Bennett sandals.
4. Day 9: At the private reception in Los Angeles, Kate wore a full Diane von
Furstenberg outfit – an emerald green silk ‘Maja’ dress and leopard-print snakeskin
clutch.
5. Day 8: The Duchess wore this blue-grey Roksanda Ilincic dress along with her LK
Bennett “Natalie” clutch and Kiki McDonough diamond earrings for her first visit to
the US.
6. Day 8: In Calgary Kate wore a printed Alice Temperley blouse, Goldsign jeans and
her own cowboy boots. She accessorized with a white cowboy hat which was a gift
from the residents of the city. And let’s not overlook the Prince looking like the
Marlboro man.
7. Day 8: On the last full day of their tour, Kate wore a cute primrose yellow silk Jenny
Packham dress to meet cancer patient, Diamond Marshall.
8. Day 7: In a similar tone to the outfit from the day before, the Duchess was looking
casual in a white frill-front shirt, a Smythe blazer and a pair of J Brand 811 jeans.
9. Day 6: Kate changed into something a little more practical – a Burberry shirt, navy
jeans and a Linda Camm belt – for her short flight on a sea plane.
10. Day 6: The Duchess dressed her slender physique with Danish brand By Malene
Birger for this beige linen dress, which she teamed with her LK Bennett nude shoes
and a matching clutch.
11. Day 5: For her visit to Prince Edward Island, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a
cricket style dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and navy court shoes.
This is a nod to 1920 style dresses .
12. Day 4: Kate departs Quebec City for Fort-de-Levis, where she and Prince William will
be meeting veterans. The Duchess has changed into a cream “Vanessa” dress by
Joseph, her second outfit of the day.
13. Day 4: Kate wears a second blue dress by Erdem, with lace detail across the
shoulders, as she disembarks the HMCS Montreal in Quebec City.
14. Day 3: Kate wears a grey, short sleeve, collared shift dress by Catherine Walker for a
tree-planting ceremony. She teamed the dress with pointed lizard court shoes by
Tabitha Simmons and a grey Hobbs clutch bag.
15. Day 2: Wearing a purple silk jersey dress by Issa and a black clutch bag and court
shoes, Kate and William attended Canada Day celebrations.
16. Day 2: Wearing the Reiss ‘Nanette’ dress that she wore for her official engagement
photo, Kate accessorized with a Anya Hindmarch ‘Fan’ clutch and a maple-leaf hat by
Sylvia Fletcher at Lock & Co. The Prince is not looking too shabby in the background
either. We see you boy!
17. Day 1: After a quick in-flight change, Kate disembarked the plane in a blue lace dress
from the Canadian born designer, Erdem Moralioglu’s, Resort 2012 collection.
