ritain's Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton are currently on a six-day tour of India and Bhutan, and the Duchess of Cambridge has pleasantly surprised the locals with her choice of Asian-inspired attire.
Here are just a few.
Prince William and Kate arrived in Mumbai on the morning of April 10 and paid their respects at the 26/11 memorial at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, one of the sites of the 2008 attacks.
The Duchesss of Cambridge chose a red silk piece from Alexander McQueen's 2016 Autumn collection. The paisley patterns of the dress originate from India. A piece from a British brand inspired by Indian culture make a very wise choice.
The Duchess paired the dress with a nude clutch from Russell & Bromley and a set of nude pin heels from L.K. Bennett.
The pair then attended charitable events in Mumbai and played cricket with the locals. Kate changed to a more casual silk dress from Anita Dogre, a designer from Mumbai. The dress was tailored just to suit the Duchess.
Prince William and Kate attended a Bollywood Inspired Charity Gala in Mumbai on the night of April 10. Kate chose a long royal blue dress by Jenny Packham, embroidered with jewels in India. She paired the dress with shawl, inspired by sari, a traditional garment for women in India.
The royal blue earrings are from Indian jewelry designer Amrapali. It is a bold and rare choice for the Duchess, who is known for her preference for elegant and simple accessories.
Duchess of Cambridge attended a garden party celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday at the British High Commission in New Delhi on April 11. She wore a dress with embroidery inspired by henna, a pattern Indian women often paint on their hands as decoration.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a light green lace dress when she attended an event at Hyderabad House in New Delhi.
