Kate Middleton wowed everyone when she welcomed Indian and Bhutanese residents, who live, work and study in the U.K., to Kensington Palace in London on Wednesday, April 6. The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning wearing a high-collared Mary Illusion Dot Dress by Indian designer Saloni.
Her dress featured a sheer panel down the front of her chest which revealed a hint of flesh. She looked beautiful as she sported matching eyeshadow while letting her wavy hair loose. She completed her impressive style with a pair of sapphire earrings, a silver ring and blue pointed heels.
Kate was accompanied by her husband Prince William that night as the two greeted guests before their visits to both Bhutan and India next week. The event was attended by India's High Commissioner to the U.K. Navtej Sarna as well as members of the business, charity and academic sectors.
The couple also talked to students enrolled on the FCO's Chevening Scholarship Programme and Burberry model Neelam Gill, whose family is originally from the Punjab. "It is a chance for Their Royal Highnesses to learn more about India and Bhutan's people, history, current affairs and culture ahead of their forthcoming tour to the two countries," a spokesman said.
William's late mother Princess Diana visited India 24 years ago, so the couple is excited for their visit to the country. "[Prince William] feels incredibly lucky to visit a place where his mother's memory is kept alive by so many who travel there," the couple's communications secretary Jason Knauf said in a statement.
The couple's trip will also include a visit to Dubai, Kaziranga National Park and the Taj Mahal.
