Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Alexander McQueen – St. Paul’s Cathedral

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wore her Sunday best, despite it being Tuesday, for the morning service at St. Paul’s Cathedral celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee earlier today.

She wore her second Alexander McQueen look of the 4 day festivities; but this one isn’t instantly recognisable as a McQueen piece.

Her nude long sleeve lace dress with a grosgrain waistband was custom-made by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

The Duchess does have a love affair with lace from her wedding gown to her navy Erdem dress worn during a visit to Canada and her Alice by Temperely gown worn to a London premiere.

A custom floral-accented Jane Taylor hat was teamed with nude LK Bennett (yes, again) a satin Prada clutch (yep, once again) and pearl drop earrings.

Some of you object to Kate wearing custom McQueen pieces, but she can hardly wear the Armadillo heels.

It would appear she has built up a close working relationship with Sarah Burton and whilst her looks don’t scream McQueen, she’s continually supporting a British brand which is most important.

Despite the overuse of the same accessories, I happen to really like this look. Simple and elegant.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Alexander McQueen – Diamond Jubilee Thames River Pageant

The gloomy weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the Great British public who gathered along the River Thames this afternoon for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge were quite the handsome couple as they prepared to board the royal barge ‘Spirit of Chartwell’.

Catherine was resplendent wearing a fire engine red Alexander McQueen dress.

The dress was originally presented sleeveless as part of the brands Pre-Fall 2011 collection which Tulisa Contostavlos wore to the X Factor Liverpool auditions last year.

For this occasion Catherine’s long-sleeve McQueen dress, which is also longer in length, was designed especially by Sarah Burton.

Catherine styled her look with a red Sylvia Fletcher hat from James Lock & Co, a maritime-themed brooch featuring gold dolphins, nude LK Bennett pumps, a red clutch and she’s also carrying a tartan scarf.

It seems like the Catherine has a thing for pleats at the moment, as her last two looks have had a pleated skirt.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge Repeats Her Emilia Wickstead Dress

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge joined other royals at Buckingham Palace this evening for the Queen’s garden party.

I was shocked to see that she was wearing the same Emilia Wickstead dress she wore to Royal Sovereign’s lunch in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee at Windsor Castle just two weeks ago.

The penny pinching princess added a Jane Corbett hat, her favourite LK Bennett nude pumps and an LK Bennett clutch on this occasion.

Whilst there is nothing wrong with repeating, did she have to wear it again so soon?

Is Kate running out of ideas, or do you approve of her quick recycling (and improvement) of this look?

A brooch accented her dress which she paired with champagne-coloured satin pumps.

Best Dressed Of The Week – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Jenny Packham & Karolina Kurkova In Rachel Zoe

On the last hour of the day, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge won your votes for best dressed this week.

Wearing a jade-green Jenny Packham gown, Catherine did what some of us thought impossible: she wowed us with a braided bun to boot.

A historic fashion moment indeed.

As much as I was seduced by the Duchess, I think it would have been a travesty of monumental portions had Karolina Kurkova not been recognized for “shutting down” the Met Gala this week.

The event was a total snooze without her, let’s face it.

Her Rachel Zoe creation is what BDOTY lists were made for.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Jenny Packham – ‘Our Greatest Team Rises – BOA Olympic Concert’

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning as she arrived at ‘Our Greatest Team Rises – BOA Olympic Concert’ held at the Royal Albert Hall in London this evening.

The last time she gave me goosebumps was on April 29, 2011 (her wedding day).

I need to mark my calendar as she did it again tonight wearing a breath-taking Jenny Packham Spring 2012 gown.

Her jade green version of this chiffon pleated gown with lace cap sleeves embellished with Swarovski crystals and a jewelled waistline is much preferable to the lime green runway version.

The second reason I have goosebumps is because our future queen has given us a bun. Yay.

It’s part-braided, but oh so very elegant and refreshing may I add.

Karolina Kurkova finally has a challenger for BDOTW.

I was hanging on for this one to close the day, and it was truly worth the wait.

Jimmy Choo ‘Vamp’ sandals and a matching bespoke clutch completed her look.
