Kate Middleton Wears A Cream Self-Portrait Dress To The Annual Order Of The Garter Service
Earlier this week, the annual Order Of The Garter service was held on the grounds of Windsor Castle in the historical St. George's Chapel. It's one of the most significant events that happens at the chapel, and according to the royal family website, "includes The King, who is Sovereign of the Garter, several senior Members of the Royal Family, and twenty-four knights chosen in recognition of their work."
"Knights of the Garter are chosen personally by the Sovereign to honour those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life, or who have served the Sovereign personally."
Last year, due to her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales wasn't able to attend the important event, but she made a triumphant return this year, after sharing with the public that she's in remission in January.
For the ceremony, she wore a cream-colored dress from the popular brand Self-Portrait. The fashion brand is a favorite amongst the royal family, as Kate and other members like Princess Beatrice have worn their clothes several times in the past. The dress included a coordinating jacket and a sleek skirt with a sheer, lacey bottom that stopped just above her ankles.
Kate paired her dress with a matching fascinator hat, several layers of pearl necklaces, and some beige suede heels. Her brown-blonde hair was worn down and pinned back.
Fans React To Kate's Elegant Look On Social Media
When pictures and video clips of the mom of three attending the Order Of The Garter service were shared to social media, royal family enthusiasts and other internet users were very excited, as they were happy to see she was healthy enough to attend the event, but also looked great in her lovely, light outfit.
"She is so gorgeous," wrote an Instagram user under pictures of her outfit.
"Very elegant and noble," added another.
"Catherine, Princess of Wales, always looks elegant and beautiful," commented a fan.
"Timeless beauty," noted another.
"Look at her," added a fan. "Flawless as always."
We're excited to see what other looks Kate has in store for future royal events and appearances, as she continues to heal and get stronger. There are a few more visits and events that typically happen during the summertime, so we have a feeling she's going to step out in some more stunning looks, potentially even recycling a few pieces from her wardrobe. No matter what, she certainly has a fan base that will back her up and praise her along the way.
