Kate Middleton and Prince William enjoyed a special send-off in Bhutan before boarding a plane to the Taj Mahal, the couple's final destination on their royal trip [1]. Kate's outfit, an eyelet Alexander McQueen suit she wore for the Diamond Jubilee Tour in Singapore in 2012, was a smart choice for the occasion.
Given her ensemble's all-white color scheme and dainty details, we like to think the duchess was striving for the image of peace, a symbolic nod to her time well spent in India. But if that's not confirmation enough, just zoom in on Kate's new piece of jewelry: a necklace gifted to her [2] by Queen Jetsun. The diamond and gold pendant is the Buddhist symbol for wisdom, and a fine finishing touch to Kate's look.
Read on to see how she accessorized with her trusty L.K. Bennett pumps, sapphire engagement ring, and L.K. Bennett Natalie clutch, accepting flowers and shielding herself from the rain all the while. Plus, get a look at Kate in the same McQueen silhouette four years ago — then see the dress she chose to pose for pictures at the Taj Mahal [3].
