The Duchess of Cambridge has had a busy week, releasing her own set of photographs of holocaust survivors, taken in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust.

She also yesterday attended a workshop run by the National Portrait Gallery's Hospital Programme at Evelina Children's Hospital, as well as a ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day in London.

This required two changes of outfits, and as always, the Duchess seemed to add a personal touch to her outfits. This included a necklace which is a sweet tribute to her children, and for the ceremony, she wore a pair of earrings that mean a lot to her.

They are the pearl stud earrings by Cassandra Goad, which she previously wore to Prince Louis' christening. She more recently wore them to a Christmas gathering at Buckingham Palace.

The Duchess also championed one of her favourite - and Princess Diana's - UK designers, Catherine Walker, in a beautifully tailored coat dress.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
