What is interesting to me is seeing her in the group photograph.
I have always preferred 19th century or early 20th century depictions of social gatherings in which all ladies are essentially wearing the same kind of dress / silhouette. It gives the impression of harmony that got a bit lost somewhen in the course of the 20th century.
For instance: In 1815 all women were in high waisted, straight dresses, in 1865 they were all in hoop skirts,1 885 all in bustles and like the particular silhouette or not, but as a whole it looked beautiful.
So here the duchess is wearing a rather full skirt, which I like and in this group its fullness is just perfect because it harmonizes with the Queen and Camilla ( whose skirts are only slightly A-line).
None of the ladies is wearing a revealing neck line and since Kate is the by far the youngest it looks perfectly fine to me that her sleeves are short as opposed to the other two.
If Kate would have chosen to wear evening gloves, her attire would have been perfect in my eyes. So not wearing them is the only flaw I can see.
I hope her shoes are red, because at a grand and highly formal occasion like this no other colour would do with a red dress.

Good point about her hair, that I didn't initially pick up on. I agree this style is different and very flattering.

Wow! I did notice until another commenter pointed it out that her hair is styled straight back with some volume on top, rather than swept off to the side. I am thinking this new hairstyle really suits her. Her skin looks amazing also. I can't think of a time she looked better. One of these photos should definitely be on next year's calendar.
