Does she have pants on under the dress? I am assuming it is to be respectful to Pakistan culture. Oh okay. That makes sense. I feel like it could be better though

I donβt love it, but itβs better than I was expecting and gives me hope that sheβll be branching out from her normal looks for the tour. The picture on their Instagram is stunning. I know there hasnβt been many details released for security reasons, but can we expect a tiara moment? Or at least formal gown

I love Maxima's look. Love it. Kate's outfit reminds me of a figure skater costume and I hate the shoes with it. I also don't find it to be very flattering. ETA: I googled Shalwar Kameez and found lots of gorgeous pics so it isn't the traditional style of dress that I don't like. It's the color and styling. I don't love it, either. However it makes me wonder if there was a concern about appropriation? It's a pretty basic take and that might be why. I dunno. This was my thought as well. I don't think it would be appropriate for her to wear an actual traditional dress...she is honoring the culture without taking it on.

I love Kate's dress. The way it's fitted avoids looking like Camilia.
Of course, I'll take one of everything that Maxima is wearing.

I like it, it's a clear nod to what Diana wore during her visit to Pakistan. It doesn't wow me but I expected her to channel her MIL and she doesn't disappoint. Idk Iβm not seeing huge similarities here except kind of the colour and that itβs a traditional style.

Re Kate's look I do like the color of the bottom portion, but the overall look is a miss for me.

I agree with adelbert π¬ I like the color - hate the neckline, hate the ombrΓ©, hate the shoes. She would have been better off yanking the shoulder pads out of Diana's outfit and wearing that. Is probably around somewhere. Meaning it's timeless, Kate's looks dated and the pants an afterthought.

I like Kateβs dress, especially the details on the back of the sleeves, but would have looked better with one color. I donβt like the ombre, it makes me think of a cake frosting. The shoes are also not a good color with it.

The first picture I saw of Kate's dress was the one on their IG when they are getting off the plane and I really liked it. The more I see of it the less I like it.
I agree with others it's the ombre and shoes that's ruining it for me.

I think itβs a bold choice for Kate, and I canβt fault her for trying something new.

I am 50/50 on Kate's dress. The nude shoes, neckline, and shoulder pads are a no, but the color, fit and movement are a yes. I do like the ombre, honestly.
I think the shoulder pads are what push me over the line. But I really, really, really detest the 80's and all things reminiscent of the 80's. It's a weird me thing.
Maxima's tiara is to die for, so simple but screams out, 'look at these big ass diamonds!'

I usually am meh on ombrΓ© anything but I like it here for some reason. π€·π»ββοΈ I do think part of it is Kate doing something different.

I think Kate's dress was a few inches too long and too flouncy for my liking. I can see not want to appropriate the style though.

Donβt like the ombrΓ© or the neckline, but the length is the worst part. Compare to Dianaβs length where you saw more of the pants and it looks intentional and fitted. Kateβs dress covers so much of the pants that it looks bad.

Kate this morning - love!! I love this color on Kate - itβs so fresh and her earrings play really nicely with the detailing around the neckline. The fabric looks light and comfortable for the hot temps too. Beautiful!
