Breaking News: Kate Middleton has channelled My Fair Lady’s Eliza Doolittle in head-to-toe white for her final engagement in Jamaica…
The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, appeared effortlessly elegant in a custom lace Alexander McQueen dress as she joined Prince William at the Jamaica Defence Force Commissioning Parade on day six of their tour of the Caribbean..
Kate looked every bit My Fair Lady in the ensemble, which was reminiscent of the frilly white gown sported by Cockney flower-seller Eliza Doolittle – played by Audrey Hepburn in the 1965 Hollywood musical – as she accompanies Professor Henry Higgins to Ascot.
The royal mother-of-three teamed her ensemble today with a stunning pearl bracelet that belonged to Princess Diana, while carrying her essentials in a £395 Anya Hindmarch pearl-embellished satin clutch.
She completed her look with a sophisticated hat featuring floral details and matching white high heel
Adding even more glitz to her ensemble, she donned a pair of dainty pear earrings to match the bracelet that the late Princess Diana wore in 1989 for an engagement in Hong Kong.
This isn’t the first time the Duchess has opted to wear the piece, having worn it at a summer reception in Germany in 2017 and a G7 summit reception in June 2021.
Kate, with her hair pulled back, oozed elegance thanks to her radiant dress, which featured a cinched waist thanks to a white belt and a square neckline.
With statement shoulders, the midi-length dress boasted stunning lace detailing along the skirt and top.
Kate finished her look with a smattering of glamorous makeup, including a deep blush and pink lips.
Looking equally sophisticated for the military parade, Prince William wore his Tropical Dress of the Blues and Royals and proudly displayed his military medals.
