Kate Middleton Looks Gorgeous in Lace Eggplant Dress at 2nd Event With Chinese President & Wife—See Pics

Kate Middleton left her princess tiara at home for a Wednesday engagement, but still looked every bit as stunning.

At the Creative Collaborations: U.K. & China summit at Lancaster House in London, held in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan‘s four-day state visit, the 33-year-old Duchess of Cambridge sported a chic, semi-sheer, long sleeve, high neck, knee length eggplant Dolce & Gabbana Guipure lace shift dress with floral detailing, which retails for $ 3,495.

Kate paired the look with matching pumps and a cranberry velvet Mulberry clutch. She attended the event, held during a typical English rainy day, with husband Prinz William, 33, who looked dashing in a dark blue suit and magenta, square design patterned tie.

The President of the Peoples Republic of China and his wife arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday for what marks the first state visit by a Chinese president in 10 years. They are guests of Queen Elizabeth II and are staying at her home, Buckingham Palace in London.

 On Tuesday, Kate and William attended a state banquet for the Chinese couple at the palace, marking the duchess’ first such event since marrying her husband in 2011. She looked gorgeous and every bit a princess in a red, sparkling cap sleeve Jenny Packham gown and a lotus flower diamond tiara.

At the Creative Collaborations: U.K. & China summit , which celebrates cultural collaboration between the countries, the two couples watched performances by dancers and also got to hang out with actor Jackie Chan and another special friend.
