Kate Middleton's Asian-inspired wardrobe in India
Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton are currently on a six-day tour of India and Bhutan, and the Duchess of Cambridge has pleasantly surprised the locals with her choice of Asian-inspired attire.
Here are just a few.
Prince William and Kate arrived in Mumbai on the morning of April 10 and paid their respects at the 26/11 memorial at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, one of the sites of the 2008 attacks.
The Duchesss of Cambridge chose a red silk piece from Alexander McQueen's 2016 Autumn collection. The paisley patterns of the dress originate from India. A piece from a British brand inspired by Indian culture make a very wise choice.
