Kate Middleton Rocks A Lavender Dress And Queen Elizabeth's Pearl Necklace At Centenary Reception
The Princess of Wales, 44, stepped out in one of the Queen's favorite shades, wearing a stunning lavender dress by Emilia Wickstead. The elegant and sophisticated dress is believed to be a custom piece, and a refined update to a look she previously wore in Hamburg back in 2017, and featured a midi hem and three-quarter length sleeves.
The mom-of-three honored the late monarch even further by accessorizing with her iconic three-strand pearl necklace, which added even more elegance to the proceedings. Her hair was worn in a slightly side-parted curly, glossy down do, while her makeup was glowy and flawless, as always.
