This is technically "a discussion event hosted by the Sesame Street producers" but I could not resist this photo, because it made me laugh. Kate looks like your headmistress who is vaguely amused by the pranks you keep pulling, but who also has to tell you to cut it out.

As we admire it, let's turn to Informative Caption: Kate "meets children as she and Prince William arrive for the Children's Global Media Summit at Manchester Central Convention Complex, which brings together creatives, technology innovators, policymakers, executives and thought leaders from around the globe to inform and redesign the future of media for this generation and explore the impact that digital technology will have in children`s futures." That sounds important!

This basic look -- short-ish tunic and tights -- is quickly becoming her pregnancy look, and it makes sense. She looks cute, and professional, and also she knows this outfit is going to fit her even if she wakes up and things are suddenly different in terms of her waistline.

This was last night, en route to the Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace -- we rarely get a full-length look at what she's wearing, so all I know is that it's a new, white dress. However! There's something relaxing about getting to admire her tiara, the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot (NOT the Cambridge Lover's Knot, which is a common point of confusion, including to me often; our friends at The Court Jeweller explain it all).
