The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, made her debut appearance at the Royal Ascot races in Berkshire, and her chosen ensemble left us speechless in the best way possible.
One of the most prestigious events in the British horse racing calendar, Royal Ascot is an annual horse racing event held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.
Known for its strict dress code and traditions, it consists of a series of horse races, as well as other social and cultural events.

We’re used to staring when we see photos of the Duchess at events, and this annual horse race was no different.
Kate radiated beauty in a white lace Dolce & Gabbana midi dress that could have easily passed as a casual summer wedding gown.

The long-sleeve silhouette and shin-grazing hemline maintained Kate’s demure standards. The flowing skirt and sheer lace fabric added a hint of sexy playfulness but still kept the look modest.
Following British tradition, Kate chose a fancy hat to accompany her ensemble. She picked a cream-colored Jane Taylor piece adorned with ribbon and rose embellishments, which she wore perched atop a chic low bun.

Kate wore a pair of pearl and topaz drop earrings in addition to the beautiful hat and carried a textured creme clutch.
She also accessorized with a navy blue name tag — as if she needed one!
