Kate mixed up black and navy, wearing a Hobbs Invitation Emilia black top with a corset bodice, sheer polka dot underlay and sleeves. The top is a purse friendly £89 - but before you race off to your nearest Hobbs it has long since sold out.

The Duchess paired it with a midnight blue, knee-length silk skirt from designer Jenny Packham's Autumn Winter 2013 collection.
