Dressed to impress: Kate Middleton and Prince William greet President and Mrs. Obama at Buckingham Palace.
The Duchess of Cambridge may be a full-fledged royal now, but she hasn't lost her taste for the high street.
Just back from her honeymoon in the Seychelles, newlywed Catherine wore the Reiss Shola Bandage Dress as she and Prince William welcomed President and First Lady Obama to London.
Priced at $340, the warm camel hue of the form-fitting, short-sleeve dress—which the Duchess paired with a statement necklace, black pumps, and Anya Hindmarch's Maud clutch in black silk—complemented her sun-kissed "Middletan" glow.
And with any luck, the British retailer has plenty of Sholas in stock. When Middleton wore its cream Nannette dress for her engagement portraits, the reissued dress flew off the shelves.
Not to be outdone, the First Lady opted for a full-skirt, mint silk chinoiserie dress and a cropped pink swing jacket from Barbara Tfank's Resort 2011 collection for her 10-minute meeting with the royal couple, while Queen Elizabeth II channeled spring in a cream floral number accessorized with her go-to Launer handbag.
We can just imagine the style tips exchanged! After all, Michelle and Kate both love their McQueen …
