'Power and intelligence' Kate Middleton's blue dress creates an impact at Cop26 dinner
ROYAL Kate Middleton stuns yet again in a blue ensemble this evening, accompanied by Prince William.
Kate Middleton and Prince William have arrived at the Clydeside Distillery to host a reception for the key members of the Sustainable Markets Initiative and the Winners and Finalists of the first Earthshot Prize Awards. The couple walked side by side, both dressed in blue.
Kate has been seen wearing a simple blue dress with a black button on either side for the Cop26 reception dinner.
The dress - which is thought to be custom - has reportedly come from Eponine's SS20 collection.
It is said to be made from double wool crepe fabric, the price is available on application but similar items cost around £2400.
It seems the Duchess of Cambridge hasn't worn this dress in public before, but it doesn't seem to be a new piece in her wardrobe as the collection is 18 months old.

This is not the first time Kate has stepped out in a calm and neutral, yet bold blue ensemble.
More recently, she stepped out at Wimbledon this year in a navy blue skirt and blazer.
She also wore a long, royal blue Roland Mouret gown at the 40th anniversary reception of SportsAid in 2016.
In the same year she wore a light blue piece to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday.
The royal has chosen to pair the dress with a blue clutch bag and dark navy or perhaps black court heels.
Express.co.uk spoke exclusively to stylist Melita Latham about Kate's choice of outfit this evening.
She said: "Kate's choice of royal blue signifies power and intelligence.
"Blue also represents stability and this particular outfit from Eponine's SS20 collection has been custom made to suit Kate's classic style of flawlessness."
The stylist also praised Kate's sustainable fashion choices.
"Her semi recycled outfit down to small details like the buttons is a true representation of what we should expect going forward."
This is in keeping with Kate's passion for sustainability and the environment.
Finally, Melita branded the outfit "A stand out from the crowd look amongst world leaders".
Her hair was swept back into a neat up-do at the nape of her neck, unveiling beautiful silver statement earrings.
She also wore a poppy brooch.
Kate and Will are a picture perfect couple, with him in a navy blue suit and light blue tie.
The Duchess of Cornwall also stunned in a teal dress.
