    So thoughtful

    We love how thoughtful the Duchess of Cambridge is with her outfit choices on her state visits. She wore a maple leaf hat to match the flag on her tour of Canada in 2011, and on a recent trip to Paris, she donned Chanel for the first time.

    Now she has decided to pay homage to Poland, by wearing a dress by a Polish designer while on a trip to Warsaw.

    The Duchess of Cambridge opted for an ivory satin cocktail dress with black embroidery by Gosia Baczynska to attend a Garden party in the capital.

    She teamed it with a drop pearl necklace and earrings, and her favourite Gianvito Rossi sandals.

    Kate looked so chic that Gosia dubbed Kate the ’tsarina of the Polish fashion scene’. And if you want to emulate the Duchess' impeccable look, you can buy the dress using the link above.

    She also swept her new bob up into an elegant chignon, and kept her makeup fairly natural.

    This was her second outfit of the day, as she landed earlier with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, wearing a white suit dress by her favourite designer, Alexander McQueen.

    Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte looked adorable in a little floral dress.
