Tonight the Duchess walked the pink carpet, which is significant because pink is the colour of the charities logo.

The Duchess was handed a bouquet in the same colour pink as the logo. A lovely touch. The colour of the flowers look amazing with Kate's dress. They add a real pop of colour!

The Duchess wore another new dress, that 3 new outfits in the last 3 days - which is unusual for the Duchess. She wore a rather daring new cocktail dress from Temperley London. It featured nude panels underneath a black dress. The Temperley London Emblem Flare Dress retails for £595 and has certainly caused mixed opinions across Kate fans everywhere.

Kate teamed the cocktail dress with her Jimmy Choo Cosmic Pumps which retail for £450 and are still widely available. She also chose a new clutch (again 3rd new clutch this week - although it is believed to be an older piece that Kate has owned for many years but new to us) which was heavily beaded. I think the clutch added a little extra bit of sparkle to the outfit.
Kate's jewellery also added a bit of sparkle. The earrings she wore are believed to have been a wedding present from Prince Charles. The Duchess has worn them on many occasions. Although they are not an exact match, these Tiffany & Co. Circlet Drop Earrings are very similar. They retail for £5,850, definitely a splurge.

The Duchess showed off the first hint of a baby bump tonight, but this could have been more to do with the style and shape of the dress.

Personally I liked the Duchess's outfit but I know that it has split some people's opinions.

Tonight's outfit was a classic for anyones wardrobe. I have found a dress quite similar to Kate's as it has a nude slip underneath a black dress with an open pattern to show the slip through the dress. The dress is Coast's Blair Long Sleeve Dress and is currently in the sale for £49 (was £85). Kate teamed the outfit with platform black suede pumps, these ones from Dune, Head Over Heels BamBam Stiletto Heel Platform Court Shoes, are a good substitute at the much more affordable price of £55. For a sparkly clutch, an essential as the Christmas party season approaches, Star by Julian McDonald Black Beaded Clutch Bag, is the perfect one. To add some bling to your outfit choose Accessorize's Bling Teardrop Earrings for £15. They are very reasonably priced and will sparkle up any outfit.
The Duchess looked even healthier tonight which hopefully shows even better signs towards Kate's recovery. This could also mean an increase in royal duties in the next few months. I will keep you updated with any upcoming engagements and sightings.
