She attended a reception with Prince William to strengthen Britain’s ties with Bhutan and welcome British nationals living there. Catherine’s dress was remarkable, a floor-length crimson Juliet dress designed by Bua London. It boasted a vibrant poppy print, paying tribute to the culture of the host nation. The delicate chiffon dress featured sheer sleeves and a stylish pleated skirt with a delicate slit, adding to her elegance.

To complete her outfit, Catherine wore John Vito Rossi sandals and her favorite Temple of Heaven earrings. Her accessories were equally stunning, including Cassandra Goad’s 9-carat gold Temple of Heaven earrings and her engagement ring, showcasing her classic style. Her chic sandals added a touch of sophistication, while her hair was perfectly curled, enhancing her natural glamour.

Catherine has long been a fan of Bua London, frequently choosing their designs for both formal events and private outings. This dress choice echoes previous occasions, such as Wimbledon last year, where she wore a pretty pink dress from the same label alongside classic jewellery.

Her commitment to British brands was evident in her choice of accessories, including her trusty Joseph clutch and Empress earrings. Made from 18-carat gold with intricate diamond detailing, the earrings have been part of her collection since 2015, first worn at Princess Charlotte’s christening. The Empress Collection is historically significant, inspired by pieces designed for the Queen of Siam in the 1920s.

Through her carefully curated outfits, Catherine has highlighted her thoughtful approach to fashion and diplomacy. Wearing this poppy-adorned dress honours her Bhutanese heritage, while supporting British designers who showcase her impeccable taste.
