Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Wears Vintage. Kind of.

The lovely Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, stood in for her father-in-law, Prince Charles as host of a charity function last night. It was her first solo engagement, and by all accounts it was a roaring success. You would have sworn this girl was born to the job. Two things to note. First, Charles, who is due in SA in a few days, referred to Kate as his "darling daughter-in-law"in his apology. Ahhh. And second, Kate was reported to be wearing 'vintage' for the occasion.
Well. That is stretching things a bit. Technically in fashion terms, vintage is regarded as garments over twenty years old. This exquisite Amanda Wakely gown was in fact from her 2006 collection, and therefore, just a bit old. But kudos to Kate for picking it out and not caring about such things. It suits her perfectly and is totes appropres.
Also, there were rumors about Kate wearing hair extensions due to a mark by her left temple. It is in fact a scar and that glorious head of hair is all hers. And I wish it were mine. Or the dress, I would be happy with that. Do you like it?
