We all know that the Duchess of Cambridge has a huge collection of eye-catching coats [1]. But while visiting the exhibition 'Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography,' Kate stepped out sans outerwear to show off a very unexpected dress. The duchess braved the snowy weather wearing an Orla Kiely floral dress that instantly brought a smile to our faces.
Perhaps Kate took her coat off prior to entering the event because it's one of the fashion rules royals have to follow [2]. She styled the long-sleeved Orla Kiely dress with a pair of nude Gianvito Rossi pumps, giant drop earrings by Kiki McDonough, and a beige Jimmy Choo clutch. Read on to see Kate's cheery dress [3], and buy the exact style, as well as similar versions, ahead.
