What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton Recycles for Zara Phillips' Wedding

If yesterday I thought that Kate wearing her green Diane von Furstenberg dress was too soon, today I think her recycling is just perfect.

If I'm not mistaken the neutral gold brocade coat that the Duchess of Cambridge sported to Zara Phillips' wedding hasn't been seen since the wedding of Laura Parker-Bowles in 2006. Can't be sure if Kate is wearing the same lace dress underneath.

Kate also made the recycling work by adding a dramatic new fascinator and some new accessories that we've seen before--namely her L.K. Bennett Sledge2 pumps and Natalie clutch.

Kate Middleton Repeats Green Diane Von Furstenberg For Zara Phillips Wedding Party

On Friday, the Duchess of Cambridge attended the pre-wedding party for Zara Phillips, the Queen's granddaughter, wearing the same green Diane Von Furstenberg dress she wore three weeks before at a reception in California (see the side-by-side photos below).

With its fresh color, half-sleeves and bowed belt, the dress is perfect for a summer party. Of course, her husband Prince William wore his go-to outfit -- navy suit and burgundy tie.

Kate’s “Maja” dress was a huge hit when she debuted it in Los Angles July 8 and it will no doubt be a hit when she gives it a wear across the sea for Zara’s big party!

As always Kate went easy on the accesories, letting the dress be the main focus of her look.

Take a look at the photos above and let us know, when did Kate wear Diane von Furstenberg better.

William and Kate seen boarding the Britannia for Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's pre-wedding party. The Duchess of Cambridge was wearing the same green Diane von Furstenberg dress that Kate wore in L.A. (she's wearing different shoes today).

The dress is pretty, but I was kind of looking forward to a new piece. I guess this is one way not to overshadow the bride-to-be.

Too soon to re-wear?

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress Hot Photos

I think my tweet earlier was correct and that Kate's nude coloured dress is indeed by Joseph. It looked so similar in fabric and colour to the one she wore in PEI that I figured it must be. Still, I've been stumped on coming up with an actual photo of it.

All About Kate has put forth two Joseph options that, together, pretty much make up Kate's dress today. A dress that I can't say I was a huge fan of, mostly because of the colour:

The Joseph 3/4 length dress is pretty much the same cut, except that Kate's dress features a deeper V neckline with more drape and the fabric (and colour) is obviously different.

The Joseph Athena crepe dress, on the other hand,

delivers where fabric and colour is concerned.

Kate also wore her Jimmy Choo Lovely pumps and that

diamond circular necklace, which I don't think anyone has ID'd yet.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Duchess of Cambridge Fashion Mystery Solved? Kate Middleton's Nude Pumps

Photo via The Daily Mail

There have been a few items from Kate Middleton's North American Tour of Fashion that have yet to be identified as far as I know. Like the Duchess' textured envelope clutch, her navy suede shoes (not to be confused with her navy Pradas or her navy Manolos--this is definitely a girl who loves navy), the ruffled blouse from Slave Lake and the boucle boxed jacket Kate wore when arriving in Charlottetown.

Of course, there are also the nude pumps that Kate wore when arriving in Charlottetown and again in L.A. Not to be confused with the Duchess' platform nude pumps from LK Bennett--this is definitely a girl who loves nude pumps. There was discussion that the shoes might be the Winona by Rupert Sanderson, but the company confirmed on Facebook that they were not.

They seemed very Jimmy Choo to me so I emailed the company and got the following response:

"We believe that Catherine Middleton is wearing the Jimmy Choo Gilbert leather pumps."

Here is the Gilbert as seen on net-a-porter:

What do you think? Kate's heel looks slightly higher but it may be the angle. Mystery solved?

EDITED:

Jimmy Choo has now reported that the show is the Lovely in Powder Pink.
Definitely seems a better match with the heel and all.

And here's something else I was wondering, why do you think Kate never wears a colored lipstick? Is it another royal rule along with the nude pantyhose?

What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton on the Last Day of the Royal Tour

And we're back to the navy and ivory, folks.

Kate's outfit today, on the last day of the royals' tour of North America, was pretty and understated, but I don't know I can say I was totally feeling it. I mean, she was wearing crochet. Which didn't look bad on her, but still. Crochet.

Kate's navy and white crochet top is from Whistles--its a few years old--as is her ivory pleated skirt (the Dobby Pleated Skirt currently available at John Lewis). Kate accessorized with the new sapphire and diamond earrings she's been sporting a lot lately along with her mystery navy suede pumps and nude clutch.

Cute, right?

I think these two are the real deal, a very cute couple.

You can tell by the way that Kate looks at William that she just

adores him, which I happen to think is adorable.

So its back to the U.K. for Wills and Kate--who flew commercial BTW--and we can go back to regularly scheduled programming back at the blog. I think I've had enough enough shoes and clutches for awhile.

What did you think of Kate's farewell to L.A. outfit?

LOS ANGELES, CA - - British royal couple, Prince Williams and Kate Middleton, reached Los Angeles on July 8, 2011 at 16.00 (local time) after bidding farewell to Canada, and immediately went from event to event, with Kate going through several outfit changes.

Kate Middleton and Prince Williams Being Welcomed by Mayor of LA and Other Dignitaries

The couple delayed a few minutes before getting off the plane, and went through a brief receiving line (which included the Mayor of Los Angeles) before being taken away in a black Range Rover.

The couple attended a private reception at the British Consul-General's residence in Los Angeles just after arriving.

Williams and Kate arrived at the BAFTA Brits to watch event at the Belasco Theater in LA this evening. The couple looked stunning as Kate Middleton wearing an Alexander McQueen gown and wore earrings borrowed from the Queen while William, who is the BAFTA President, went with a tux for the black tie reception.

The royal couple walked the red carpet with the organization's CEO Amanda Berry. Blake Lively, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, and other Hollywood actors were also on hand for the BAFTA event after Kate and William's star-studded day in Santa Barbara.

The couple spent the afternoon at the Polo and Racquet Club where Orlando Bloom, Rosie-Huntington Whiteley, and Joe Jonas were among the famous faces in attendance for the charity polo match in which Prince Williams scored four goals.

What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton at BAFTA Event in L.A.

It seems that Kate Middleton has a new colour to add to her arsenal of navy, white, grey, red and beige outfits: lilac/lavender! First it was the Roksanda Ilincic dress that the Duchess wore when arriving in Los Angeles, then the printed floral Jenny Packham De Gournay gown at the charity polo match, and lastly a flowing Alexander McQueen gown at the black tie BAFTA Event to introduce new British talent to Hollywood. I'd say Kate definitely has a new hue. The BAFTA party was attended by everyone from Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks to Jennifer Garner and Blake Lively.

The belted McQueen gown, which showed off Kate's tiny waist, was beautiful but I think having a bit more sparkle would have been nice. And while I don't know how much the Duchess' dress screamed McQueen it was definitely pretty. Kate accessorized with clutch and strappy sandals from Jimmy Choo and earrings borrowed from the Queen (from what I've heard Kate's other jewelry was her own).

The Duchess' evening shoe choice was pretty killer, I'd say. Similar in style to the LK Bennett taupe heels that Kate had worn earlier in the day, these Jimmy Choo Vamp Glitter-Finish Sandals were appropriately sparkly.

Kate's equally shimmery silver clutch is the Ubai, also from Jimmy Choo.
