Kate Middleton looked the very picture of elegance as she stepped out in London this week.
Kate Middleton was in her element on Wednesday evening when she stepped out to see a vast collection of photographs at a landmark museum.
The royal mum of three – who is an avid photographer and has shared her own sweet pictures of her children — visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is not far from her Kensington Palace home, to preview some of the 800,000 images in the new Photography Centre of the museum.
The 36-year-old wife of Prince William was on hand in her official capacity as royal patron to the museum, and as part of a return to official duties this month after being on leave since the birth of her third child, Prince Louis, in April.
The duchess wore an off-the-shoulder Erdem-designed tweed dress accented with crystal and faux pearl embellishments. Completing the look were a pair of Jimmy Choo heels that matched the dress’ burgundy belt.
She toured the opening display, entitled “Collecting Photography: From Daguerreotype to Digital,” and took in some of the historical prints and contemporary photography the center is showcasing. She also met with curators during her visit.
Among the photographers whose work is on display are pioneering women such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Agnes Warburg, Cindy Sherman and the late Linda McCartney and her daughter Mary McCartney.
