A lowdown of what Kate Middleton wore on her India tour so far.
Sartorial choices of Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, have been an inspiration to anyone who loves vogue and to everyone who look at the most talked about Royal family, the Windsors.
When the Royal tour for India began, many articles were published speculating what wardrobe will the Princess bring to the hot summer of the Indian subcontinent. When the Royal couple went on the tour of North America and Australia before that, Kate's dress choices showed the Hollywood stars why she is one of the style icons. She did the same for Bollywood too.
She is not forthcoming about her choices like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, but she knows how to balance the modern trend with a conservative perspective. She makes the Royal fashion look chic.
While in Bhutan, before coming to India, on her last day, she sent a message that they are coming by favouring Indian designer Saloni's elusive dress in deep blue.
And then they left for India.
