Princess Kate is down under visiting gorgeous New Zealand for her inaugural visit. She has brought husband, baby and her amazing wardrobe along with her. Though I sometimes feel her style can be defined as Queen in Training, her custom designed Jenny Packham black dress here is a stunner and even catapults her style to another level. It is way more than an LBD. It is embellished with the distinctly New Zealand symbol of the Silver Fern. Legend has it that the plant once lived in the water and had the strength to survive on land, too. A beautiful dress and like everything she wears, it fits perfectly. The details here are stunning. Not overdone and quite symbolic of her visit down under. Good on her.
FYI: New Zealand is still a part of the British Commonwealth with their allegiance to Crown.
Just a thought: The Duchess wore a wedding dress that cost $400,000, has custom made pieces like this Jenny Packham, is photographed in many a designer piece but I do wonder if she ever just wants to wear jeans?
