Lately we have been loving The Duchess of Canridge’s style choices, she has been making bold statements and stepping out of her comfort zone like never before – and it’s been paying off.
During her recent tour of Canada, she made a series of stylish statements, stepping out in high-end designer looks from Alexander McQueen to Preen and Dolce & Gabbana. While also throwing in her usual high-street faves from the likes of Zara and H&M – and even a few of her old faithful looks from years gone by.
According to E! News, Kate’s entire wardrobe for the family’s 8-day trip through Canada cost upwards of $US80,000 (that’s approximately $AU104,000). That’s her most expensive Royal Tour to date – but we would defintely argue it was also her most stylish.
According to their breakdown, Day 1 alone cost a whopping $US22,305 thanks to a bespoke Jenny Packham dress, Sylvia Flether for Lock and Company hat, Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, G.Collins & Sons tanzanite earrings and KL Bennet clutch. Not to mention the brooch on load from the Queen, which is obviously priceless.
Take a look at all her Royal Tour looks below:
Day 1.
Kate in a custom-made, blue Jenny Packham dress with matching headpiece and a silver Canadian Maple leaf pin to pay tribute to her hosts.
Day 2.
The Duchess made a bold statement when she stepped out in a red and white print dress by Alexander McQueen. Paying homage to her host country, the $6,800 red and white frock was quite the statement for the Duchess, with its graphic print and a pleated and layered hemline. Instead of her trusty nude heels, Kate instead opted to match the frock with a pair of red heels and a matching red Miu Miu clutch.
Day 3.
The Duchess of Cambridge came prepared for the wet weather and looked unsurprisingly chic in a casual off-duty ensemble. Dressed in her staple skinny jeans, a stone coloured Holland & Holland jacket and her favourite pair of by Penelope Chilvers (which eagle eyed fans noticed she’s been a fan of for some 12 years), the Duchess looked practical and cozy while visiting the Great Bear Rainforest in Bella Bella on Monday.

Kate went high fashion for a visit to Kelowna University in this Dolce & Gabbana number which retails for around $3600. The emerald green gown features button up detailing and a bow neckline as well as subtle flared hemline.
