Kate Middleton Wears a Black-and-White Kurta on the Final Day of the Royal Tour of Pakistan
Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal tour of Pakistan may be coming to an end soon, but Kate isn't letting her overseas style lapse.
This morning, the Duchess arrived at the Lahore airport wearing a black-and-white kurta by the Pakistani brand Élan. Nude heels, believed to be from J.Crew, and a tote bag finished off the look.
Kate has been making a point of wearing Pakistani fashions during almost the entire tour. With the exception of one or two looks, all of her outfits have either been traditional, or referenced the region's customary garments.
Even outfits that don't seem to do this often have small Pakistani touches, like her Wednesday look—a vest, button-down shirt, brown skirt, and boots—which was styled with a beige shawl over her shoulder. Plus, when she arrived in Chitral, Kate was presented with a traditional Chitrali hat and shawl, which she wore for a time. And her one gown, a sparkly Jenny Packham number, was likely chosen for its emerald color, as a nod to Pakistan's flag.
Otherwise, Kate's worn kurtas and several shalwar kameez designs. Even her earrings have often been sourced from the Pakistani label Zeen.
At the same time, the Duchess's royal tour wardrobe has managed to honor Princess Diana, who made a memorable visit to Pakistan in the 1990s. Her Catherine Walker coat, for example, referenced a green outfit that Diana had worn back in the day.
And memorably, the Chitrali hat that Kate was given to wear was the same feathered accessory Diana wore back in 1991.
