Kate dazzled in a recycled Jenny Packham sapphire blue embellished gown as she hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace this evening to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the children's charity Place2Be.

She first wore the boat neck dress at the Bollywood Gala in Mumbai on her and Prince William's royal tour of India and Bhutan in 2016 - and the beading of her dress was done in India.

During the reception Kate met two school choirs who will be performing at the event, and Place2Be supporters, before giving a speech.

Over the past 25 years more than 250,000 children and their families have been directly supported by Place2Be, which currently works with 639 schools across the UK.

Beautiful dress and color. Was curious about the earrings, they're by Erdem. Of course she had to have those, the top is just like Diana's/Kate's ring

That dress is so beautiful and elegant, and is perfection on the Duchess.

The earrings are amazing!

The spray earrings look uncomfortable poking her cheek!

Kate is an attractive woman but her choice in dresses and other clothes needs help desperately. One day she will be Queen Consort and I hope someone assists her with her wardrobe. She is a young woman and always selects clothes for a 90 year old woman.

I don't think she is free to choose whatever she wants to wear. There are rules she must follow when making her choices.

I don't think she wears clothing for a 90 year old woman at all. She dresses in classic, modest, styles and always in good taste.

She is a representative of a 90+ year old woman when she is "working" who influences her wardrobe.

She dresses differently when she is on private time.

I think Kate dresses beautifully. Her working style is Classic, beautifully tailored, immaculately groomed from head to toe, each outfit appropriate for the event she is attending and hosting. She, always, looks lovely, presents herself with grace and kindness. She is a shining example of the Crown and of the people she represents.

I agree @Katcat1 she is a beautiful elegant woman, but the gown is matronly. I would love to see her in a younger more modern look.
