Newlyweds Kate Middleton and Prince William arrived in Ottawa just minutes ago to kick off their 10-day, eight-city Canadian tour.
As their plane came to a halt and the hatch opened, the big question was: Had the stylish Duchess of Cambridge changed clothes midair to meet the row of Canadian dignitaries waiting at the bottom of the steps?!
Of course she did!
Kate swapped out the navy-blue Roland Mouret sheath with (Canadian-designed) Smythe jacket, pumps and bag that she wore in London for a very pretty midnight-blue lace dress with stone-colored lining and scalloped sleeves by edgy Montreal-based designer Erdem.
Smart duchess.
The burgeoning fashionista paired the formfitting dress with her favorite neutral L.K. Bennett pumps and a matching clutch, and even restyled her hair into a half-up, half-down 'do.
Wills, for the record, didn't change.
So far Kate's fashion tour is off to a gorgeous start—as expected from this always appropriately attired lady.
