The royal mother-of-two teamed her dress with a pair of leather heels from LK Bennett, accessorised with a striking gold necklace, some silver drop earrings and a coordinating clutch bag.

She wore her blonde hair in a chic chignon up-do style and went for a natural makeup look, featuring long black lashes and a nude lip shade.
