After paying a visit to the Magic Garden at Hampton Court Place in an elegant Michael Kors day coat, Kate shimmied off her tweed design and revealed a baby-blue dress. The Roksanda Ilincic number is one she's worn before, both in 2011 and 2012, but Kate made it feel fresh once again for Spring. If you've been shopping lately, you know the racks are filled with side-swept styles that take asymmetrical silhouettes, revealing just one shoulder or arm.

Kate's look is a modest take on the trend and most elegant when paired with her Cartier watch, standard L.K. Bennett pumps, and Nina box clutch from the same label. For a luncheon at the Anna Freud Centre, Kate accessorized with silver Mappin & Webb jewels, including a pendant necklace and matching earrings, along with her sapphire engagement ring. The duchess, who was glowing as always, inspired us to scoop up a similarly sophisticated mini. Just read on to get inspired, and then choose from the alternative options we found.
