The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Pakistan on their five-day trip to the country. Fresh from their flight on the RAF Voyager aircraft, the couple were all smiles as they greeted local officials and Britain’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, Thomas Drew. Kate looked elegant in a turquoise shalwar kameez, a traditional dress and trousers combination, during the meet and greet at the Pakistani Air Force Base Nur Khan, in Rawalpindi. The couple are the first royals to visit the country since 2006 when the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall travelled there.
The Duchess is known for her chic dress sense and her first outfit of the tour didn't disappoint. She teamed her bespoke Catherine Walker dress and trousers with nude Rupert Sanderson heels, a matching clutch, and a pair of glittering drop-down earrings.

Beauty-wise, the mother-of-three's hair was perfectly styled in her trademark Chelsea blowdry. The royal went for a classic beauty look of smokey eyeshadow, a sweep of eyeliner and full lashes, along with a touch of blush on her cheeks and a pink lip.

The couple will visit projects which empower young people and help to ensure they have the best possible start in life.
