Duchess Catherine will forever be a style muse, but she still manages to surprise us with her flawless fashion choices.
The Duchess of Cambridge made a special visit to Norwich earlier in June, where she met the families from East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), shining a light on National Children’s Hospice Week.
Kate’s visit was filled with beautiful anecdotes and special moments with the children and their family members as she got stuck into some gardening with them.
Kensington Royal shared some special snaps from the visit, explaining how it all went down in the caption: “Using plants bought during her visit to Fakenham Garden Centre last week, The Duchess worked alongside an EACH volunteer gardener and a family to plant a garden that will provide enjoyment for children and families.”
The Palace continued to explain: “Throughout the pandemic EACH has continued to deliver end of life and emergency crisis care as well as bereavement support.”

Of course, there was something else we couldn’t quite look past as the images surfaced – that heavenly dress.
Designed by Indonesian label Faithfull the Brand, Kate’s floral midi design featured one of the years biggest trends – puff sleeves.
Yes, we’re just as obsessed with the Duchess’ dress are you.

Ever the summer fashion pro, she paired the look with some Russell & Bromley espadrilles – a go-to summertime style from Kate.
This, along with a radiant summer glow (looks like she’s been spending plenty of time outdoors during lockdown!), we’re safely claiming that this is one of the Duchess’ best dresses yet.
It’s a big call, but this is one of our favourite summertime looks on the Duchess to date.

Kate’s dress in question is known as the Marie-Louise Midi Dress by Faithfull the Brand and usually retails for AUD $199.
(Faithfull the Brand)As expected, the dress sold out almost instantly after the images of the Duchess surfaced.
