If Day 1 of Kate Middleton's first trip to India was about establishing a fashion connect with the country, Day 2 was familiar territory, sartorially speaking. She wore a white and black patterned dress by Alice Temperly to a British High Commission-hosted party to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday in New Delhi.
Cake was cut and speeches made:
Ms Middleton began Monday in Mumbai. A structured white dress by British designer Emilia Wickstead, in whose creations Ms Middleton is regularly seen, was her pick to meet young entrepreneurs and business leaders at Social Offline.
Prince William looked handsome in a blue suit.
Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, was among the industrialists Will and Kate met at the event.
