WEAR the Duchess of Cambridge's EXACT New Zealand sailing outfit and copy her outfit for less with our detailed guide to getting Kate's style
Kate Middleton was dressed for the ocean waves in nautical navy today.
Gone was any vestige of last night's embroidered black dress, instead the Duchess of Cambridge donned denims, a Breton top and a dark blue blazer.
She and Prince William arrived at the Royal New Zealand Air Force base in Whenuapai to race each other across the harbour in nearby Auckland.
Despite a packed schedule, and travelling with an eight-month-old, Kate looked remarkably radiant and refreshed in the navy blue double-breasted Zara blazer, which retails at an affordable £79.99.

The jacket, made from a poly/rayon blend with Elastane, features rows of gold buttons giving it a naval feel.
She wore the figure-flattering blazer over a three-quarter-length sleeved cobalt blue and white striped top, £48, from the British company ME+EM.
She then showed off her lengthy pins in a pair of ultra skinny jeans, thought to be a pair of her trusty J Brands, and a pair of blue Corkswoon wedges by Stuart Weitzman, which cost around £240.
She was seen wearing an almost identical outfit when she played volleyball at a SportsAid function at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London.
But the outfit showcased in 2013 consisted of a similar T-shirt by Ralph Lauren Breton, skinny jeans, wedges and a Smythe one button blazer.
Women around the world will no doubt be please to see the Duchess in high street clothes again after a series of expensive designer looks during the first leg of the 19-day New Zealand and Australia tour.
When it came to boarding the yacht the mum-of-one swapped her high wedges for a pair of familiar flat Sebago Bala boat shoes, £56.
And as the sun poked out from behind the clouds she reached into her backpack for a pair a Classic Ray-Bans in dark tortoiseshell.

The queen of fashion not only upstaged her husband in the style stakes but also ruled the waves but beating him in two open water races.
Standing behind the wheel of an 80ft America’s Cup sailing vessel, Kate even gave William a cheeky victory salute as she sailed past him back to harbour.
George, meanwhile, stayed behind in Wellington with his nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
