It seems that Kate Middleton has a new colour to add to her arsenal of navy, white, grey, red and beige outfits: lilac/lavender! First it was the Roksanda Ilincic dress that the Duchess wore when arriving in Los Angeles, then the printed floral Jenny Packham De Gournay gown at the charity polo match, and lastly a flowing Alexander McQueen gown at the black tie BAFTA Event to introduce new British talent to Hollywood. I'd say Kate definitely has a new hue. The BAFTA party was attended by everyone from Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks to Jennifer Garner and Blake Lively.
The belted McQueen gown, which showed off Kate's tiny waist, was beautiful but I think having a bit more sparkle would have been nice. And while I don't know how much the Duchess' dress screamed McQueen it was definitely pretty. Kate accessorized with clutch and strappy sandals from Jimmy Choo and earrings borrowed from the Queen (from what I've heard Kate's other jewelry was her own).
The Duchess' evening shoe choice was pretty killer, I'd say. Similar in style to the LK Bennett taupe heels that Kate had worn earlier in the day, these Jimmy Choo Vamp Glitter-Finish Sandals were appropriately sparkly.
Kate's equally shimmery silver clutch is the Ubai, also from Jimmy Choo.
