Duchess Kate steps out in a stunning dress with a big price tag
Duchess Kate has again proved herself a fashion plate, giving sister-in-law Duchess Meghan a run for her money. She stepped out to the launch of the new photography centre at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) – the world's leading museum of art and design – of which she became patron earlier this year. This was her first visit to the museum in the role.
The price tag of the elegant tweed and plaid dress is just over a whopping $AU2000, reported news.com.au. It’s from Canadian designer Erdem – a designer of choice for the Duchess – from its SS18 collection.
Duchess Kate’s stunning outfit featured ornate jewel detail, accessorised with a silk maroon belt and amber earrings by Erdem, worth almost $AU550.
The royal favourite also wore velvet maroon stiletto heels, custom made by Jimmy Choo, which Duchess Meghan also has in her collection. And while – same shoe size permitting – you might expect sisters-in-law to lend each other their designer shoes, that’s probably out of the question in royal circles.
But if you think this latest outfit is pricey, it’s a bargain in comparison to Erdem’s Stephanie gown, which features a silk floral print, that Duchess Kate wore during her pregnancy with Prince Louis. It’s worth over $AU3600.
The visit to the museum was the third public outing for Duchess Kate since she returned from maternity leave.
