Royal Tour of North America: Day 10 - Kate Middleton Wears Floral Jenny Packham to Polo Match

Pattern! Open toed shoes! Bare legs!

We feel like we're making progress here, Kate.

Real progress.

Don't get us wrong, we think you pretty much always look chic, but you don't always look your age or, simply, as attractive as you could.

We love this floral Jenny Packham because it not only does justice to Kate's ultra trim figure, but also because it makes her look young and happy and all that jazz.

Outfit win!

Oh, and Wills? This is the best we've seen you look all tour. Props.

Kate's pale pastel floral dress is the hand-painted chinoiserie De Gournay from Jenny Packham's Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

The strappy, open-toed taupe sandals that the Duchess wore to the polo match are the LK Bennett Silver Sandal in Taupe. Kate also wore her monogrammed bracelet, Kiki Mcdonough citrine drop earrings, and the L.K. Bennett Natalie straw box clutch, which we've seen many times before.

Royal Tour of North America: Day 8 - Kate in Yellow, Arriving in Calgary

After spending the night in a remote cabin that had been retro-fitted especially for their visit, William and Kate headed to a chalet in Lake Louise to change and get ready for the day ahead. Arriving in Calgary they had to deal with some ridiculous wind that wreaked havoc with Kate's flirty dress, and also spent time with an adorable cancer patient whose wish it was to meet a Princess.

So we finally get some colour and, yet, we're not really feeling it. This dress is nice and all. Cheery and summery, but it feels kind of old. Kind of...Little House on the Prarie or Sister Wives or something. Maybe its the high neckline and those fabric-covered buttons. We think Kate's yellow Jenny Packham could have benefitted from some personal styling like a chic belt.

The dress above is similar in style to the yellow

primrose dress that Kate wore.

Accessories included the L.K. Bennett Sledge2 nude pumps and Natalie straw clutch, as well as the Kiki Mcdonough citrine drop earrings and the unidentified diamond-by-the-yard bracelet.

There are certain times when you see someone in a particular dress or outfit and you just know that the sartorial gods are pleased. Such was our reaction when we spotted Kate Middleton in pale pink and sequined Jenny Packham at the ARK Gala. The Duchess looked relaxed, young, happy, feminine--in short, this dress was made for her (although not, you know, literally).

Anyone still think that Kate can't do high fashion as well as she does high street? This is your notice. The Duchess seems to be ready to play in the big leagues, and while we'll likely never see her in anything too fashion forward this definitely seems a step in the right direction.

And have we mentioned that we're almost as obsessed with Gossip Girl as we are with KMidd? Well, we are. And we just know that somewhere Blair Waldorf is smiling (and scheming, naturally) knowing she bested Middleton by donning a very similar Packham first, although if you'll recall Blair's wasn't floor-length.

So who do you think wore Packham better - Kate or Blair?

Or do you love both princesses-in-waiting equally?
