SHE HAS RETURNED. In Temperley, with lace sleeves — twas ever thus. Honestly, it’s a relief to know that no matter what happens in this crazy, mixed-up world, Middleton is still a bit flummoxed by the prospect of dressing for a cocktail reception. (Having said that, while I am….not a fan of this look, if you find it alluring, you can still get it at Net-a-Porter, which I assume Kate has been trawling from her sickbed. They also have a long white version which I do NOT like AT ALL,  a white mini version that has no waist and might work on a pregnant woman but might also be scandalously short, and a white shirt interpretation that she totally, totally bought and stuck in the back of her closet for later.)

A note: We are aware that the mobile site is still not working correctly. I’m REALLY REALLY sorry that it is taking this long to fix it. It should be fixed this week; please cross your fingers and pray to your deity of choice. EDIT: IT SHOULD WORK NOW THANK YOU LORD GRANTHAM.
