The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of Place2Be, is hosting a reception at Buckingham Palace in celebration of Place2Be’s 25th anniversary.

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.

I love that dress!  Gorgeous shade of blue.

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!

Kate is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside!  True elegance and class.
