OMG, two public events within 24 hours?! There won’t be a vacation long enough for Duchess Kate and Prince William after this grueling week is over! As I covered earlier today, Kate and William were at a charitable screening for the film African Cats last night. I wasn’t crazy about Kate’s familiar-seeming Matthew Williamson dress. And she decided to go with another familiar-feeling look today. Her suit/dress is by Rebecca Taylor – the textured blue reminds me of the Missoni coat she wore for a photo-op with the Queen last month. It’s not a repeat, and it’s not the same look, but Kate does love her blues, and she loves some nubby, textured fabric. Look, she’s got matching blue pumps too! I don’t think she’s a shoe person – I’m not either, so I give her a pass.
I was looking around for a good shot of Kate’s “blinged out” poppy pin, but her hair was covering the poppy in most of the photos. When you see British people wearing any kind of lapel poppy, it’s in honor of the Royal British Legion, or veterans in general. You can read more about Kate’s sparkly poppy pin here. The London event today was for a group of servicemen who “recreated the Scott-Amundsen race to the South Pole.” Later today, Will and Kate will attend an event for the Imperial War Museum Foundation.
Will and Kate’s first wedding anniversary is Sunday. They don’t have any public appearances for the day, and UK gossip says that they’ll be spending some of their anniversary at a party with friends. My guess? They’ll totally manage to find the time to take an anniversary vacation.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz…
She is wearing an outfit that would look appropriate on a 90 yr old woman (Brooke Astor would never dress that matronly!)
She’s put some much needed weight on. That’s all I have to say
Beautiful couple. I love how at ease they are together.
I think she’s very pretty. I like what she wears. She can’t win in many eyes – either she dresses too old for her age, or she’s too slutty. How do you win?
i think she should take lessons from Carla Bruni. NOt talking about life choices, but clothing choices when she became first lady of France.
I love the suit. And it’s sweet that their anniversary is coming up. I hope they take a fabulous get-away.
They just got back from a “fabulous getaway”…their THIRD of 2012. They are lazy and pathetic.
Don’t forget the 22 they racked up in the 2years leading up to their wedding. Frankly 2011 was austere in their terms….or did it just go unreported and we shall find out soon enough 😉
Mustique, France and…?
It’s a nice suit. Good color for her. But let’s face it, she will always dress a little on the ‘boring’ side because she has to. There are only so many ways you can wow-up the same classic silhouettes. I think within the fashion confines of being the future queen, she’s doing a good job. Except for that freaking eye liner. 🙂
I agree so I give her a pass. However her eyeliner and hair touching will forever get the side eye. 🙂
Yeah, the eyeliner is bad. It gives her such a hard look, I think. And she’s pretty, but the eyeliner really ruins it.
My thoughts exactly, she is ROYALTY, not a trashy celebutard. Photos of her will appear in history books (if we still use books in the future!).
Anyway, she is doing very well, very pretty, always appropriate. She needs to be judged on a completely different scale than are pop stars.
Yeah, and I think it’s actually kind of refreshing to see a celebrity (because let’s face it, that’s all the royals are) in more normal, business-y clothes, albeit ones that cost way more than most people can afford. I’ll probably never wear a fancy ballgown, but I do have to get dressed up like this for work, so it’s nice to have some more realistic fashion inspiration.
Kate’s sparkly poppy was designed by Buckley Jewellery on behalf of the Royal British Legion and is available to purchase online direct from their poppy shop website.
Someone should hang a “FEED ME” sign behind her wherever she goes. She looks truly unhealthy!
I agree. All these people are saying she looks better, but judging from a few angles on DailyMail, she is still SOOO thin. That suit hides it because it’s made of a thick tweed.
wow another granny-dress
I’m loving the red tint in her hair. It’s nice.
By friends we’re talking about William’s friends right? Because we all know Waity doesn’t have those, unless you count her mum and sister.
and once again the prince charming will take his princess with whom he is madly in love to another holiday,evening with friends . is he scared to be alone with her or something? for a couple in love how come they never go on a vacation alone, never saw them having a dinner date or anything that would be personnel, intimate and private .they are always with other people .
Fabulous legs!
–The unfinished/finished edge bugs me a little.
–Pins are supposed to be seen!
–Aren’t they matchy-matchy.
–Do all of his pants fit like that?!? What happened to all those great British tailors?
–1st & 2nd pics of Will’s face need to be a meme.
–Even security & the car are in blue! LOL
clothes , eyeliner,shoes ,weight that’s all she is doing ,nothing about her work.wow what a great inspiration she is .
@ANGELIC 20: Meeeeooow! Are you some ex-girlfriend of William’s or something?
they’re so coordinated that Kate’s dress brought out the blue in Will’s eyes.
Them Royals. Us commoners are not worthy.
I like the dress, it looks good on her. She still needs to gain a few pounds, but she looks a hell of alot better than she did when they went to Canada.
Has anyone else noticed that she’s stopped recycling her outfits? I’m trying to remember the last time I saw her wear the same outfit twice and I can’t.
Not to mention that Rebecca Taylor and Matthew Williamson aren’t exactly cheap.
… maybe she’s on a clothing loan system like what celebrities do, but I doubt it. I’m just always pissed that she always looks so darn drab.
HAHA in the last post, everyone was like, ‘Yay for Wills, his hair is back.’ These pics: um no, it’s not. Oh well. Sad little Will is looking more like his father everyday and Harry will go on looking cute forever. Give us some Harry eye candy!
It looks too short. The skirt and the jacket both look too short. I have some sympathy with her being so tall but still, it doesn’t fit right.
I keep trying to get interested in them. I just can’t find them that interesting. I don’t hate on them, but I just don’t find either of them interesting.
I just think the media is so desperate to recreate the Diana fascination that they keep trying to make them this HUGE thing
Oh well…
Snore
That suit looks like its hanging off of her. She really needs to put on a feed bag and eat. I’m over them.
You are right on Kaiser, they already have a vacation planned for this weekend (Scotland is what I hear). This will be Kates fourth vacation and Williams fifth of the year.(They both had their New Years vacation,Mustique, France, and William stayed an extra week in the Falklands onces he was done “working”) I cant even begin to explain how annoyed I am with these two. William is going to make a horrible king.
The color is gorgeous, but the fabric is too “old” for such a young woman.
Nah , I’m not crazy about it. The color is nice. I love her little mannerisms like when she smiles. She’s cute.
I understand she has to dress a little “boring,” but the fact remains she’s a 30-year-old who consistently dresses 20 years older. It’s possible to be conservative yet age-appropriate (and in-fashion, come on) in dress. And her shoes are always awful.
Back to boring, I see…!
But good work on the make-up, Waity. Me likey.
Her thinness is starting to show on her face. I’ve seen younger-looking 45-year-olds, and not of the Hollyweird variety.
Ugh, why the constant boring clothes??
She dresses like a 12 yr old in her Sunday best.
jesus, i would love to have the time to dedicate to just helping various charities.
she squanders it when it should be something she cherishes
It looks as if she had a brow lift or tapes, since her brows go up instead of being flat like they used to be. The dress looks pretty much the same she usually wears, so she could just as well wear always the same dress.
I really wish she would do something different with her hair, it’s terribly boring.
