Kate Joins the Queen at her First Garden Party

Another royal first for The Duchess of Cambridge, she attended her first garden party at Buckingham Palace.

The garden party is a traditional highlight of the London spring-summer season, and today's event was the second of two being held at the Palace.

Kate wore a familiar dress: the same £1,200 pink Emilia Wickstead coat dress first seen 11 days ago at the Windsor Castle lunch the Queen gave for visiting royals.She coupled the outfit with a pale pink straw and lace hat by Jane Corbett.

She tweaked her accessories, choosing her nude LK Bennett pumps over the pink satin pumps and her LK Bennett 'Natalie' straw clutch over her satin Prada clutch. Kate finished off her look with delicate white pearl earrings.
