And finally, here are the photos of Duchess Kate and Prince William’s final evening event for their whirlwind American trip. They attended the St. Andrews 600th Anniversary Dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night. This was probably the best photo event from their entire trip – they seemed to actually spend some time posing for photos on the MmoA steps.
Duchess Kate did a repeat! This dress is Jenny Packham, and she wore back in February of this year, to an event in London. Remember these photos? It was the first time the Queen allowed Kate to borrow some major diamonds from the royal collection and Kate’s sausage curls sort of ruined the look because we couldn’t even see the jewelry. Kate didn’t make the same mistake last night though – she finally pulled her hair back for a sophisticated evening event, hallelujah. And Kate once again had some bling to show off: her earrings are MAJOR diamonds and emeralds. According to the royal reporters, these rocks are not “borrowed”. They were a “private gift.” Oh, and there’s a matching bracelet? YES.
As for the fact that Kate re-wore a dress that she originally wore when she wasn’t pregnant… I’m not really surprised. She’s not showing that much and the waist on this gown is pretty high. High enough to accommodate her small bump. I do wish she’d worn something we hadn’t seen before, especially since we know she’s got a closet full of clothes we’ve never seen, but whatever. The Packham is pretty and I like it more on its second outing than the first.
Here’s a better look at her earrings:
