Kate makes her Royal Ascot debut in £2,415 Dolce & Gabbana dress


June 15, 2016

The Duchess of Cambridge, neé Kate Middleton, rounded off her busy week by making her hotly anticipated debut at Royal Ascot.

In typical style, the royal had expertly struck a balance between fashionable and formal, wearing a stunning white lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana.

The dress might look familiar – it's the same one she wore to the Windsor Horse Race just last month. However, fans weren't able to get a good look at the designer number as Kate was wearing a red Zara jacket over the top.This time, the 34-year-old let the dress take centre stage – much to fashion fans' delight! The beautiful white dress features sheer sleeves, a nipped-in waist and a tiered, swishy skirt. She topped off the look with a beautiful matching hat from Jane Taylor.
