The Duchess Wears Orla Kiely at Dulwich Gallery

Kate was at the Dulwich Gallery for a Children and the Arts event along with Prince Charles, who is patron at the charity. Can we just say that we're really feeling the Duchess' grey belted Orla Kiely dress with floral applique? The pretty pleated dress from Kiely's Fall 2011 collection really works for Kate's frame.


Kate accessorized with Episode Angel platform pumps, Links of London Hope Egg earrings, Tiffany Diamonds by the Yard bracelet and a black clutch.

Kate Dons Bird Print Orla Kiely Coatdress for Art Room Engagements

Kate Middleton arrived at Rose Hill Primary School and Oxford Spires Academy for events liked to charity the Art Room wearing an Orla Kiely coatdress with a retro 70s-style bird print. We're not feeling this look despite the fact that we usually like coatdresses on Kate. There just seems to be something off about this one--maybe the colour or the print--just isn't working. Add on the opaque tights and those ankle boots (we rarely see Kate do boots right) and it just becomes a big hells no! in our book.

The Duchess accessorized with a black clutch, her Aquatalia Rouge booties and Kiki Mcdonough Grace earrings.
