Your glorious hair is blocking my view of your possibly also glorious new necklace, Kate.

I love the dress from this angle. (I also think it's more BLUE than these photos make it look. You'll see later in this slideshow.)

And this is where things get interesting. Before we get into Skirt Talk, though, here's your Useful and Informative Caption: "The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of The Natural History Museum, attends the Wildlife Photographer of The Year 2014 Awards Ceremony. Her Royal Highness met the finalists, viewed the exhibition and joined Sir David Attenborough to present awards to the overall winners of the adult and under-18s competitions." That sounds like a good time.

Doesn't it look more BLUE here? Perhaps not. Perhaps I'm crazy. (I wish you'd move your hair aside, so we could see your face here, Kate. Think of the oglers.) ANYWAY. This is where I can't decide if I'm buying what this dress is selling. I might be? I might not be. I'm basically standing in the middle of the store, holding it, and looking at it, and then looking around for someone to tell me what to do. I will say that for one moment, I thought it was bike shorts and I was going to be all, YOU GUYS THE PREGNANCY HORMONES HAVE KATE CONVINCED SHE'S DEMI MOORE WHAT DO WE DO? And although that caper was going to be fun, I'm also relieved it's not actually happening.

But HERE I might think I like it.

Tell me how to feel! (I do confess that we may have found a pair of beige shoes that I like, though. I know. Wonders will ne'er cease. \[They're L.K. Bennett.\]\*

\*And apparently, they're PINK. Which I can endorse far more wholeheartedly. Previously seen here, I think, [RIGHT after the wedding, in one of my very favorite of her looks ever](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-catherine-duchess-of-cambridge-formerly-middleton-06-2011/).)

Here, it looks WAY more mullet-y -- this dress has a thousand faces -- and I am back to being concerned again. Trust, I love that it's sexier than she usually goes, and I'm thrilled that it's DIFFERENT and her legs look fab in it. I just am not sure if I think it's a home run. I DO think it might be a stand-up double, though. LET'S DISCUSS.

[Royally Played, Kate Middleton in Jenny PackhamAfter months locked in the house, today brings us a Kate twofer. (In case you missed this morning's McQueen \[and/or Wills\], I am here for you.) First McQueen, now Jenny Packham -- it's like she's cycling through her own greatest hits today, to make up for her absence. I will be interested to get everyone's take on this dress. I really like aspects of it -- the color, the fabulous draping -- and I appreciate that it's DIFFERENT. From the waist up, I think it's a total smash. I think the shorter underskirt was perhaps a compromise in the name of modesty that was considered a more interesting and creative choice than just making the slit less aggressive, which I appreciate, and I like that she's going leggy. I am not in general a fan of the high/low skirt, so ultimately this might not be my personal number one jam. This whole slideshow is basically my waffling on my feelings, so know that I could probably be talked around, if you want to try. JUST TRY. PS: ALL HAIL THE OPEN TOED SHOE. Bonus points for fab new jewelry. \[Photos: Getty, Splash\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/spl871316_012.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-middleton-in-jenny-packham-10-2014/)
