Kate Dazzles in Red!

The Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in red on the final day of the royal couple's tour of Canada. The couple attended a reception thrown by the Premier of Alberta, Ed Stelmach, at Calgary Zoo to promote the province's research and development potential.

Wearing a bright red satin and wool 'Marianne' coat-dress with a full skirt by Catherine Walker, with The Queen's Maple Leaf brooch (the same brooch that she  wore on Canada Day), Kate changed out of the casual jeans and shirt combo she wore for the the Calgary Stampede Parade she attended in the morning. On her feet were her favourite LK Bennett Sledge2 Court shoes in taupe leather and in her hand she held her moc-croc clutch that we're thinking is a Prada.

Kate chose to wear her Kiki McDonough earrings - from the 'Grace Collection.'

After the reception at the zoo, the pair headed to airport and boarded a Los Angeles-bound jet.

Kate Wraps Up Canada Day Celebrations in Issa

Wrapping up a day of celebration, William and Kate made a grand arrival via the VIP section at Parliament Hill on Friday night (July 1).

The couple watched a rock concert and a firework display.

Kate traded in her Canadian colors for purple, wearing a long sleeved jersey dress by Issa. She complemented the look by wearing her hair up in a classy chignon and accessorizing with her borrowed diamond maple leaf brooch, black Prada heels and her black Anya Hindmarch Bespoke Maude Clutch.

Kate & Wills Arrive in Gatineau, Quebec for a Citizenship Ceremony.

Prince William and Kate arrived in Gatineau, Quebec to preside over a citizenship ceremony, the first of several events scheduled for the couple's second day in Canada.

The royal couple took to the stage at the Canadian Museum of Civilization alongside Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and Gov. Gen David Johnston shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Friday.

More than 20 new Canadians will be sworn in at the ceremony, including candidates from Belarus, China, India and Madagascar. The royal couple presented miniature flags to the 25 new citizens in Ottawa following their swearing-in.

For today's celebrations, Kate chose an outfit with a nod to Canada Day. She wore an cream dress, red fascinator, red shoes and a colourful Anya Hindmarch fan-shaped clutch with tassel (marked down from £350 to £175 and sold out).

Kate's cream mid-length day dress with an asymmetrical ruffle and three-quarter-length sleeves was the same Reiss 'Nannette' dress from the official engagement photos shot by Mario Testino. On her lapel, she wore the Queen's diamond maple leaf brooch.

Cocked a bit to the side, Kate wore a red straw saucer fascinator by Lock & Co’s milliner Sylvia Fletcher. It was festooned with stiff, sculpted maple leaves.

'Straw clutch finished off with our signature gold bow and over-sized beaded tassel.'

Kate borrowed the diamond maple brooch from the Queen, who wore the same piece for the Canada Day celebrations in London last year.

I have since found additional info on the Maple Leaf Brooch and a detailed picture (thanks to My Small Obsessions on FB).

The Queen (as Princess Elizabeth) wore this brooch in the shape of a maple leaf during her first visit to Canada in 1951.
