Kate In Stella McCartney for Arrival in Australia’s Capital

Following their trip to the Taronga Zoo, the Cambridges left Sydney for their flight to Canberra, Australia’s capital.

Below, William can be seen holding Prince George as he speaks with Lady Lynne Cosgrove, wife of Australia’s Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.

Another view. 

Kate wore the ‘Ridley Stretch Cady’ dress by Stella McCartney. The dress was first worn in July 2012 to an event at the National Portrait Gallery.Splash News

(For anyone curious about the necklace worn by the Duchess, it is a piece from Cartier’s Trinity collection.)

Kate wore the frock again in August to the London 2012 Games.

Details on the dress from our July 19, 2012 post: the most distinctive feature of the dress is the darts on the outside of the garment, usually they are concealed inside a piece. The form fitting dress is made of a viscose/acetate blend with a touch of elastane for stretch, it features short sleeves and a hidden back zipper. Retail pricing for the dress was originally $885.

Colour is gorgeous, but its not a great dress. It looks messy - between the darts and that really unattractive necklace which just doesn't work with that dress. Nice to see Kate's knees though.

If as a previous commenter suggests she has a personal dresser, its a dismal failure. Kate looked a hundred times better on the Canadian tour. Compare the outfits side by side...

I had tried this dress at matches fashion notting hill store before she wore it and thought it as a nice dress but for the price it' wasn't something special. I had thought that for half of the price sb could buy a dress from a high street brand like LKBEnnett. For example her Detroit dress from the brand has similar colour and style and more interesting details. I like it much better and I also own it! She does look lovely as usual of course!

Nice dress but with a price tag like Stella Mccartney it should beat the L K Bennett dress in looks - it does not. This is a simple, flattering dress and suits the Duchess and the shape is good for use in windy places. DVF 3-4 years ago produced a similar dress in various colours with lovely vertical darts at the waist to cinch it in for a fraction of the cost of Stella Mccartney dresses.

Dear Susan, I don't play fashion detective very much but is it possible that on Easter Sunday the Duchess could be wearing this dove gray dress she wore during her US trip a few years back? http://www.posh24.com/photo/1014149/catherine_duchess_of_cambridge

The Duchess was wearing a matching McQueen dress under her McQueen coat, according to the TV commenters in Australia.
