Duchess Kate in Diane Von Furstenberg in London: flawless or matronly?

Here are some photos of Duchess Kate and Prince William attending last night’s Royal Variety Performance in London. The Royal Variety show is an annual event of music, comedy and shenanigans and I think (?) this is the first time Will and Kate have been the “royals” forced to attend. Most years, it’s Prince Charles and Camilla.
As for Kate’s look… um, I don’t have any complaints whatsoever. This is completely new for me. Her Diane Von Furstenberg gown is gorgeous and perfectly tailored. It’s conservative and elegant enough for a 30-something royal woman, but it’s still beautiful and interesting to look at. Plus, it’s got lace and Kate loves lace. Kate’s updo is completely occasion-appropriate and flattering. She wore big statement earrings but they don’t overwhelm her face. Her makeup is standard, but like I’ve always said – her heavy eye makeup actually WORKS for evening events. She just needs to work on a lighter look for day-wear. So… yeah. I love everything here. This is one of her best outings of the whole year.
And to make the night complete, Kate got to meet the boys of One Direction! When she shook hands with Harry Styles, he had something to say to her: “I said congratulations on the bump. She didn’t look bumpy.”
