..and Temperley London Delphia Maxi Skirt which retails for £1,995.
There is of course meaning behind her garment choices this evening. The embroidered motifs are of Indian Chintz and lattice.

It is thought that the Duchess is wearing the Gianvito Rossi Crisscross Ankle Wrap Suede Sandals

She also wore earrings that we last saw at a Buckingham Palace Christmas Luncheon.

The Duchess certainly made a beautiful entrance again this evening.
