In a glamorous display of fashion diplomacy, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, turned heads at a garden party in Berlin, Germany.

The event, held on 19 July 2017, was part of William and Kate’s official visit to Poland and Germany, and was organized to celebrate the Queen’s birthday.

The British ambassador to Germany, Sir Sebastian Wood, hosted the party at his official residence in Dahlem, Berlin.

For the occasion, Kate opted for an exquisite off-shoulder maxi dress designed by Alexander McQueen.

The dress, a creation from the designer’s Spring 2017 collection, pays homage to the folkloric history of the Shetland Islands.

Crafted in Italy, it features a blend of cotton and silk chiffon fabric with a crinkled finish.

Elbow-length sleeves adorned with ribbons add a touch of elegance, while the off-shoulder neckline boasts scalloped ruffles.

The choice of a red dress holds significance, as red is one of Germany’s national colors.

Not only does it pay tribute to the host country, but it also complements the Duchess’s complexion perfectly.

Furthermore, the McQueen dress bears a resemblance to the classic Bavarian dirndl, adding a nod to local culture.

To complete her ensemble, Kate debuted a pair of stunning red beaded drop earrings by Simone Rocher.

Made in Italy, these earrings feature red beads and gold-toned metal, with a floral design at the top.

The beads gradually decrease in size from the top, creating a graceful tapering effect.

As of August 16, 2017, the red beaded Simone Rocher earrings can be purchased from Nordstrom.com for $265 and MyTeresa.com for £195.

Kate paired her outfit with beige-colored sandals by Prada, specifically the scalloped suede sandals in the Quartz shade.
