On the 26th of April 2012, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a reception to celebrate the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole, in support of The Royal British Legion, at Goldsmiths Hall, London.

Two British Army teams took part in the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race between November 2011 and January 2012, to pay homage to the extraordinary race to reach the South Pole between Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen a century ago.

Kate’s outfit:

Duchess Kate wore a blue tweed jacket and skirt by New York-based designer Rebecca Taylor.  Both pieces are from the designer’s pre-fall 2012-13 “Sparkle Tweed” collection.  Both pieces featured a frayed trim and the jacket had floral embellishments around the neckline.  The jacket originally retailed for $450.  The skirt was $425.

Kate also carried her electric blue Anya Hindmarch “Marano” clutch bag to the reception:

Finally, Kate wore her blue suede Alexander McQueen pumps. They’re a custom design, which the Duchess wore back in 2011 during the Canada tour on several occasions. (Pictured below during the Canada visit).

Kate’s earrings remain a mystery, they appear to be pearls.

Finally, Kate also wore a sparkling poppy brooch from The Royal British Legion.

Here’s how it’s described on the brands’ website:

This striking Crystal Poppy Brooch adds a sparkle to any outfit. Hand crafted with over 100 ruby and olivine crystals, it’s also plated in a gold tone, it makes a wonderful gift to wear throughout the year.

    HELLO…….I THINK HER EARRINGS ARE THE SILVER JUBILEE DIAMOND & PEARL DROPS SHE HAS ON LOAN FROM QE II. ALSO, THE BROOCH IS NOT THE CRYSTAL POPPY BROOCH, BUT THE RBL CRYSTAL BUCKELY BROOCH. THE CRYSTAL POPPY BROOCH HAS A GOLD LEAF ATTACHED, THE RBL BUCKLEY BROOCH DOES NOT.
