And after a year in lockdown, the Duchess went all out in a stunning new dress – her eye for design loud and clear.

The Duchess first visited the V&A museum’s Raphael Court, which has just reopened following a nine-month refurbishment.

As she looked at some of the incredible tapestry designs created by the talented artist, all eyes were on the Duchess – in particular, her outfit.

Kate was glowing for the surprise museum appearance.

Kate wore a beautiful midi length red dress by Alessandra Rich which featured a houndstooth print.

For her accessories, she added some gorgeous golden earrings by And Other Stories, as well as some chic pumps by Jennifer Chamandi.

Leaving her hair loose, Kate’s iconic brunette locks were looking sleeker than ever.

Of course we couldn’t get enough of this entire outfit.

The Duchess is quite the creative herself, a keen photographer often capturing beautiful images of her family on special occassions.

Most recently, the birthdays of her two youngest kids Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte gave rise for some classic Kate photography.

We anticipate her son George’s birthday snaps are not far off – he turns eight in July.
