The royal duo attended a state dinner on Wednesday evening hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica, and the Duchess stunned in a gorgeous off-the-shoulder dress by Jenny Packham. Complete with a dramatic ruffled applique fitted along a Bardot neckline, an elegant waist-cinching bodice and statement floor-length, Kate was a vision in her bespoke, emerald green ballgown.

The Duchess has sported an array of elegant new hairstyles during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Tour. From sleek and straightened to neatly tied back, the royal mother-of-three has certainly taken the opportunity to debut some new looks since arriving in the Caribbean.

On Wednesday, Kate wore her glossy brunette tresses in an elegant plaited up-do, adding her signature glowy beauty look consisting of a subtle smokey eye, lashing of mascara, rosy blush and matte pink lip.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore her most glamorous tour look yet

Prince William's wife accessorised her eveningwear with a set of diamond and emerald jewels on loan from the Queen, with both her earrings and bracelet from the Queen's Emerald Tassel Parure collection. The Duchess also sported her Royal Family Order and the GCVO Star, which the monarch gifted to her in April 2019 for her eighth wedding anniversary.
