The Princess of Wales looked visionary in London on Tuesday as she stepped out wearing a spellbinding Self-Portrait ensemble to attend the official reopening of the National Portrait Gallery

Princess Kate, 41, looked stunning as she donned the designer label's glamorous 'White Metallic Bouclé And Chiffon Midi Dress', consisting of a bouclé tweed belted and buttoned jacket and fluid pleated chiffon skirt. The royal slipped into showstopping black heels and was armed with a black leather clutch bag.

Princess Kate's love affair with Self-Portrait's blazer dresses has been a devoted one. The Princess of Wales first wore the label's elegant tailored midi dress to a reception evening celebrating the publication of her photography book Hold Still, and she was clearly equally enamoured, wearing it for a second time at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Party at the Palace the following year.

Kate has continually proven her dedication to early years education with her project Shaping Us, so it comes as no surprise she will spend time learning about the new Under 5’s programme the gallery will launch in September.
