The highly anticipated Royal visit initiated yesterday night when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Rawalpindi yesterday. The couple was welcomed by the Foreign Minister of Pakistan Shah Mahmood Qureshi, they were were presented a bouquet of Lilies by two kids dressed up in traditional Pakistani attires that was a rather adorable gesture. The hashtag Royals visit Pakistan has also been trending on twitter.

While the political consequences of this tour are still to be made clear, our fashion radar un-apologetically awaited to see what the Duchess was going to wear.
Up till now Kate’s outfits have been reflecting a signature Diana vibe which makes us rather nostalgic.


Kate wore a statement Catherine Walker turquoise ombre dress with pants coupled with earrings from the Pakistani brand Zeen which are super affordable. Furthermore, she wore nude pumps by Rupert Anderson that reflected her own personal style.

This look is also very similar to what the Princess of Wales wore to the Badshaai Masjid when she came to Pakistan.
