On the 30th of June 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate) landed in Ottawa, Canada for the first leg of their North American tour.

After landing in Ottawa, the royal couple took part in a walkabout, meeting and speaking with local Canadians.

The crowds turned out en masse to see the royal pair.  Kate was presented with a posy of brightly coloured flowers.

Kate’s outfit:

Kate changed outfits from the morning (when she departed from the UK at Heathrow Airport, wearing a Smythe blazer and Roland Mouret dress). She wore a navy blue lace dress by Canadian designer Erdem:

The dress’s style name is “Cecile.” The Cecile dress forms part of Erdem’s Resort 2012 collection (though as What Kate Wore reports, the Erdem website also showed the dress as part of their pre-Spring 2011 collection too.)

  • Kate Middleton Blue Erdem Dress

Duchess Kate paired her blue lace dress with her nude L.K. Bennett Sledge shoes.

  • L.K. Bennett Sledge Pumps

Kate also carried a coordinating nude clutch bag from Stuart Weitzman.  The style name is ‘Muse‘ (note: the bag is also known as ‘Raz’ in the USA).

Kate wore two items from Tiffany’s & Co. The first, a thin, silver bracelet. (You can see it in the photo above) It’s the “Diamond by the Yard” style from the Elsa Peretti collection.

From Tiffany’s website:

Tiffany round diamonds catch the light and make it dance. Bracelet in sterling silver with three round brilliant diamonds. 7″ long. Carat total weight .09. Original designs copyrighted by Elsa Peretti.

The second item was her gold and blue Cabochon earrings, pictured below.

    Wearing a dress of a Canadian designer is really kind of her but wearing lace at landing is quite silly

    • admin says

      June 30, 2011 at 7:58 pm

      Don’t you like the lace Bea? I love it. Plus it is VERY trendy in the UK at the moment.

        I like lace and I love that dress, I think it’s not suitable for the situation

        • Liz says

          June 30, 2011 at 8:19 pm

          I tend to agree. The outfit she wore at takeoff would have been more appropriate.

    Would love a closer look at Kate’s earrings….any ideas about her clutch bag? I think I have an accessories obsession!

      Thanks for the close up shot of the earrings. Does anyone know who the designer is?

    Can someone explain to me why they think Kate’s dress this afternoon is not appropriate? I think it’s beautiful and she looks great. I’m Canadian and very happy that her and Will have joined us for Canada Day. I see nothing wrong with the dress she has chosen for her first official event here.

      I just assume that it’s something to do with the lace, maybe because lace can sometimes have racy connotations? But Kate’s dress is cream with dark lace over the top. It’s chic and elegant.

    I think she looked effortlessly stylish on boarding at Heathrow and absolutely stunning on arriving in Canada – wish I could look half as good after such a long flight! Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on this website. I only discovered it a few days ago but was so happy to find I wasn’t the only one to love Kate’s look. I love waiting to see what alternatives you come up with to copy Kate’s look and have purchased a few of your suggested items. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Inappropriate was probably the wrong word. Lace just has an evening and a party feel to it (not racy as much as dressy), and they were starting their trip by visiting a national war memorial. I would have preferred what she wore on the plane.

    • admin says

      June 30, 2011 at 10:23 pm

      I think I agree when you put it like that. Maybe it’s just my head that thought “racy” hahaha.

      Yes, a party feel, I know what you mean. Maybe the suit would have worked better for the war memorial.

    • K says

      June 30, 2011 at 10:37 pm

      Yes, I see your point too, and I agree. Lace has a party feel to it and probably wasn’t the best choice for the war memorial.

    Don’t get me wrong…I still think she looked wonderful, as usual:)

    Kate would look beautiful in a sack; however, I give the dress she wore today 0 out of 10. What an incredibly boring dress! All of the reporters kept repeating that it was Canadian-designed and that soon copies would be flying off the shelves, blah, blah, blah, but I cannot see why such a lovely young women would want to wear something as dull as that.

    “Kind of her” to choose a Canadian designer for her first appearance in Canada, indeed, but why choose such an uninspired outfit? Mind you, it was better than that refitted Canadian flag worn by Laureen Harper!

    She’s beautiful, with a great silhouette and a radiant face – she and Wills are clearly very much in love.
    I love her items’ recycling but sometimes I think she doesn’t know the fundamentals of dressing with taste: black at weddings, useless slip knot scarf with elegant coat, fussy matching bag-shoes, morning lace dress… Anyway she’s adorable, she seems so down to earth!

    Hi There,

    Thanks for the information.
    What about the bracelet that she is wearing. It seems to me to recognize it from somewhere.
    Any idea?

    • libby says

      July 1, 2011 at 10:55 pm

      It looks like Tiffany’s Diamonds by the Yard Silver Bracelet. 🙂

    Does anyone know where the clutch is from? I have the shoes but never managed to get the right clutch…

    I have found a dress on Oasis for £60 – very the same – gorgeous – slight peplum detail! Check it out here at http://www.oasis-stores.com/bonded-lace-dress/lace/oasis/fcp-product/3170107819
