Acorn and Rose Fashion, a royally inspired style blog for young professionals : black

India is treating the duchess well: yesterday the duchess wore a Temperly London two-piece to a grande birthday party in honour of Queen Elisabeth in New Delhi. The style was a nod to the Indian sari style, consisting of a crop top and a maxi skirt, and the Duchess was beaming in it.

Inspired by her look, I have gathered some monochromatic black and white dresses that are not necessarily copies of Kate's ensemble, but radiate the same feel. What I love about the Temperly outfit is the dynamic feel of the pattern - it is not a mere simple black and white print, but follows the lines of her body which accomplishes a true, regal look. My favorite monochromatic black and white dress at the moment: definitely the Karen Millen dress (It's the neckline, I cannot resist a piece of clothing that brings the attention to your face through the structure of the fabric).
