Kate Middleton Curtsies To King Charles

The dress in question, a gray coat dress with white accents designed by Tolu Coker, a British-Nigerian designer, was cinched at the back with a lace-up corset. This style is a first for Princess Catherine, who's never publicly worn a corset-style anything.

The outfit may have been a tip from King Charles, who sat first row at Tolu Coker's London Fashion Week Show last month. The King was also present to welcome the Nigerian leadership to the United Kingdom, which made for a sweet royal moment between King Charles and Kate Middleton, when she greeted him with a curtsy.
