The Duchess of Cambridge made a return to public engagements following her summer break on Tuesday, stepping out in London with Prince William!
As usual, Kate chose a chic and elegant outfit for her busy day, which saw the royal couple visit a jobcentre in London Bridge, the London Muslim Centre in Whitechapel and much-loved bakery Brick Lane Beigel.

Looking lovely in red, Kate opted to recycle the gorgeous Beulah London dress she first wore back in May, and accessorised with a pair of NEW Missoma earrings and a pair of tan Ralph Lauren heels. She wore her signature brunette hair down in loose waves and added a floral face mask to complete the look.

Kate first wore the Beulah London dress in May
Prince William recently confirmed that Prince George and Princess Charlotte were back at school when he travelled to Belfast to mark Emergency Services Day.
He told a police officer: "I think every parent is breathing a sigh of relief that school has started again." He went on: "Five months – it’s been wonderful, but it’s been a long five months."
Of course, Kate also made a new appearance earlier in September - appearing via video link to discuss the shortlist of her photography project Hold Still, a community effort she launched with the National Portrait Gallery during the coronavirus crisis.
Kate wore a Zara dress for her recent Zoom call
She showed off a new Zara dress from her collection, too! Sadly, the green floral dress - which has also been rocked on Loose Women by Saira Khan - had already sold out, but Kate's pretty midi certainly gave us another insight into her at-home style.
Here's hoping we see the Duchess out and about again soon!
