Kate Middleton Just Wore The Fitted Blue Dress Your Workwear Wardrobe Needs

The royal tour has only just wrapped up, but already the world’s attention has turned back to that other Duchess with an impressive sense of style, Kate Middleton. 

Visiting London’s Imperial War Museum ahead of the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, the Duchess of Cambridge looked every bit fashion royalty in a fitted blue Jenny Packham pencil dress with subtly fluted sleeves and a midi-length hemline. She paired the look with her signature Gianvito Rossi suede beige pumps and matching Mulberry leather clutch (and of course, that hair).

While inside the museum, the Duchess had the opportunity to read letters written by her own "great grandmother’s three brothers, who fought and lost their lives in the First World War", according to Kensington Palace. All three men died over a period of three years in what was meant to be the war to end all wars.

Ahead of #Armistice100, The Duchess of Cambridge visited @imperialwarmuseums in London to learn about her great-grandmother's three brothers who fought and lost their lives in WWI. The two youngest brothers, Captain Maurice Lupton and Lieutenant Lionel Lupton, went to France within 3 days of each other. The eldest brother, Major Francis A Lupton, fought with the 8th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment in 1917. Sadly each of the brothers was killed in action over a period of three years. HRH toured the museum's First World War galleries and viewed documents relating to her relatives' experiences including a letter sent home by Maurice, a field service postcard sent by Lionel on the day he died, and a letter of condolence sent on behalf of King George V following Francis' death. #LestWeForget
