Kate wears By Malene Birger “Bullet” dress in Yellowknife

Kate wears a By Malene Birger "Bullet" dress to Yellowknife.

On day six of the 2011 Royal Tour of Canada and USA, Kate and William spent time in Yellowknife, a city in the Northwest Territories.

The royal duo landed in Yellowknife during the previous evening.  Here’s a quick reminder of Kate’s outfit:

The royal couple’s day in Yellowknife was busy, packed full of events.  They began the morning with a visit to the Somba K’s Civic Plaza.  Here they enjoyed prayer drum song, a demonstration of Dene games and Arctic sports.  They assisted in shrub-planting and plaque unveiling, plus observed some street hockey.

Kate, who used to play hockey in university, did not partake in the game but William did; he took three goal shots (and missed).

During their visit, William and Kate were presented with hockey jerseys:

The piece is made from silk linen mix fabric and features strong shoulders and a contrast waistband.

As we’ve seen from this tour so far, Kate is a fan of ‘cropped’ or 3/4 sleeves, trousers & jackets – and this dress follows suit

Selfridges used to stock the Bullet dress.  They described the piece as “a contemporary silhouette” with a “striking yet classic style”.

Kate teamed the dress with her nude L.K. Bennett shoes, as you can see in this photo from the hockey pitch:

She also carried her nude coloured Stuart Weitzman ‘Muse’ clutch bag.  The clutch is known as the Raz in the United States, and comes in a number of colours and designs.  Here we show a more recent version of the bag in nude, but without the snakeskin print that Kate’s piece has:

Kate wore a familiar pair of earrings for the day in Yellowknife:

    Hey guys here is a cute video showing she has changed into a relaxed outfit. She’s wearing different jeans than the ones in PEI and a green relaxed long sleeved shirt with a cute belt. Will and Kate both wear red Canadian “Rangers” Sweaters and it is so cute how he helps her with her sweater.
