For her triumphant return, the princess rewore a bright yellow Roksanda mididress. Featuring a high neckline, short sleeves, and a cinched waist, the asymmetrical design comes with a bow detail at one shoulder. Kate paired it with a matching veiled hat from Jane Taylor London, an ivory Anya Hindmarch clutch and her trusty beige suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.<\/p>\n

Her hair was swept back in an elegant low updo, showing off a pair of diamond earrings that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. Coordinating with the clasp on her bag, Kate completed her look with a three-strand pearl bracelet from Princess Diana’s collection.<\/p>\n

At the event, Kate was photographed as she greeted her mom, Carole, along with her sister-in-law, Aliz\u00e9e Thevenet. The princess kissed her brother James’s wife, who wore a floral sundress with eyelet trim, on the cheek. Thevenet added a straw boater hat, a chunky gold bangle, and a tiny leather tote.<\/p>\n

Carole, for her part, selected a blush button-front mididress complete with a sharp collar and quarter-length sleeves. Matching slingbacks and a top-handle purse, as well as a sculptural hat with a built-in veil, topped off her ensemble.<\/p>\n
