Fashion strikes a chord during royal visit

Kate dons same Reiss dress worn in engagement photo for Canada Day


Kate is striking a patriotic chord with her Canada Day ensemble, stepping out in items from U.K. labels in the colours of the Maple Leaf.
While the Duchess of Cambridge donned new looks from Canadian labels for the first day of her first official visit abroad, she went back into the wardrobe today for a more familiar favourite.
Kate arrived at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec, wearing a cream dress from Reiss – the same one she donned for her official engagement photo with Prince William.
Her topper from milliner Sylvia Fletcher at Lock and Co. had a distinctive Canadian flavour, complete with its rich red hue and adornment of maple leaves.
And for an added regal touch, the duchess wore the Queen’s Maple Leaf brooch.
Kate completed the look with a red clutch purse and red heels.
