The Duchess of Cambridge has once again captured our hearts with a beautiful ensemble. Kate Middleton, along with Prince William, recently visited Canada for an eight-day tour.

At a reception with British Columbia leaders, Kate was a sight to behold in a classy Preen by Thornton Bregazzi dress and a matching pair of Gianvito Rossi suede pumps.

The scarlet midi dress featured a polished cut and was further glammed up with elegant jewelry including pearl Soru earrings and a standout diamond brooch.

The star of the whole ensemble was Kate’s maple leaf diamond brooch, which was a gift for the Queen Mother from her husband King George VI to commemorate their Canadian trip in 1939.
