The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out Monday night for an event for the royals’ Heads Together charity in London wearing a magenta Oscar de la Renta jacket and skirt. To fight the chilly evening air, Middleton added a pair of sheer black tights and capped off the look with Gianvito Rossi black pumps — a pair she’s been very partial to lately. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Guild of Health Writers event, part of the Anxiety Epidemic conference, which is supported by Heads Together.
For their second engagement of the day, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a Guild of Health Writers conference focusing on mental health, which is being supported by the Heads Together campaign.
William and Kate met members of the Guild along with leaders and representatives of the Heads Together charity partners.
For the outing, Kate chose a new-to-us frock. This is an Oscar de la
Renta two-piece ensemble, a seemingly separate skirt and jacket, likely
from the 2015 fall/winter collection. The Daily Mail says the pieces are
sold out now, but the retail on the skirt alone was $1290. For that?
Really? And you’ve got to figure that Kate had it specially tailored,
which is why everything looks off-kilter. This is one of Kate’s favorite
silhouettes though – she loves a full skirt in stiff fabric, and she
loves a close-cut jacket, preferably with ruffles and buttons. She has
like three dozen coatdresses and two-piece suits that look just like
this, just in different colors. That being said, I love the color.
By design each room at Chandos House offers something different to
guests, whether this is an Antonio Zucchi ceiling painting, carved
Sienna Marble fireplace, Victorian Waterford Crystal chandelier or
gilded mirror. The Terrace Room, with its large striking Venetian
windows, adjoins the Garden Terrace.
