Styling Kate: Your Royal Ascot Choices (Part 2)

We're back with Part 2 of your Royal Ascot choices. Due to the number of entries, I've decided to divide the looks into three parts, so if you don't see your look here, it will definitely be included in the next part wrapping up the Ascot choices. We have another array of fabulous ensembles assembled by our talented stylists. You'll notice brilliant variations reworking pieces Kate already owns, raiding the wardrobes of other royals, and completely new and colourful looks. Judging by our looks in the batch below, readers have something of a penchant for green and pink in particular. Take a look and enjoy :)

Siddhii - Siddhii chose a green ensemble for the Duchess to wear for Royal Ascot featuring Valentino's Lace and Hammered Satin Dress. It's crafted to fit slim from the self-tie fastening point collar to the waist, where it fluidly falls to the knees. Kate's choice of a rich green hat and Kiki McDonough green amethyst and diamond earrings from Christmas 2015 and green pumps from St Patrick's Day complete the ensemble.

Andrea from New York - "For Royal Ascot a change from the all white looks of the past two years but a still a monochrome look - Lela Rose leaf guipure lace ruffle skirt dress." The dress is styled with Kate's Rupert Sanderson Calice pumps, an Alexander McQueen clutch and the pink Jane Taylor hat and Kiki Morganite earrings the Duchess wore for Pippa's wedding.

Bluhare - Bluhare selected a vintage-inspired look for the Duchess to wear to Ascot with a 1950s style lavender and green floral dress with a defined waist and full skirt. The dress is accessorised with a lime green hat, statement green shoes and the Marchesa Iris Floral Painted Python Small Box Clutch.

Bluefire - Bluefire mixed high street with designer for her look choosing the Topshop Lily Floral Mesh Dress, Manolo Blahnik's BB pumps (the signature style is named after French movie star Brigitte Bardot and features a pointed toe and thin heel), and the GARAVANI Rockstud Leather Camera Crossbody Bag.

Alaina from NJ - Carole Middleton donned a GOAT dress for Ascot this year and the brand would be Alaina's choice for Kate too. Below we see their cream Bow-Embellished Wool-Crepe Dress styled with the Jess Collett Iris hat, the Rupert Sanderson Calice Pumps and the Alaia Embellished Leather Clutch. For jewellery we have Kate's Kiki Morganite and Cushion Drop Earrings and the very appropriate Links of London Ascot Horseshoe bracelet.

Downton Abbey Fan - The Ruffle Sleeve Midi Dress With Floral Embroidery by Needle and Thread (I adore this brand; never fails to provide amazing options for occasion wear). The dress is teamed with the Rachel Trevor Morgan Grey straw mesh disc with hand made roses and tipped claw feathers, Olive ankle strap heels and the Hobbs Grey Kew Clutch.

Lily - Lily did something quite different with her look opting to "borrow" from the wardrobe's of other royals. We see the Beulah London Trapeze dress (worn by Princess Beatrice to Ascot). It is styled with a fascinator worn by Princes Madeleine of Sweden, Jimmy Choo Suede Anouk Heels, a Saint Laurent bag, art deco style earrings, and Kate's Diamond by the Yard bracelet.

KMfan - KMfan suggests a pink lace dress from Caroline Herrera's Fall Winter 2017 Collection with Kate's pink Jane Corbett hat, Kate's bordeaux Gianvito pumps and Mulberry Baywater Clutch in Burgundy suede.

Little Miss Sunshine - "I kinda got bored by always white lace for Ascot so I decided to switch it up a bit - take away the lace and add a pop of blue :)." We see the L.K. Bennett Corin Blue Embroidered Silk Dress styled with Kate's Oroton cluch from the Australia tour, the Suzannah Flick Corsage Juliette Saucer Hat and the captivating steely grey Annoushka Feldspar Earring Drops crafted in 18 carat white gold framed in diamonds and suspended from opulent diamond hoop earrings. For shoes, it's the MICHAEL Michael Kors Georgia Ankle-Strap Pumps in Admiral.

Acorn and Rose Fashion Blog - "This light blue dress with lace flowers and ruffled neckline from the Erdem pre-spring 2018 suits Kate's style perfectly. The dress is floor length in the picture, but I would suggest shortening it. The dress works great with the 'Volute' headpiece from Camilla Rose - I would suggest a bespoke piece in the same blue colour as the Erdem dress. The monochrome colour palette would bring out the white lace on the dress even better." The look is completed with Kate's Gianvito Rossi Praline Pumps and Annoushka pearls.

Louise, London - "The royal enclosure calls for a formal outfit but not too formal. I wanted something not just not white but not in the dreamy/romantic style Kate has favoured since her wedding. But, go too formal and the outfit looks like something she would wear for a visit to a patronage or formal royal duty. In the end I plumped for this Roland Mouret." The dress is accessorised with the Lock & Co. Precious Hour Hat (with a black rose rather than blue), Marc Jacobs Wilde crystal-embellished patent-leather sandals, the Kayu Charlotte Clutch and Links of London Hope Rose Gold and Diamond Drop Earrings.

S. from E. - "I got inspiration for this look from the orange midi dress Crown Princess Mary of Denmark wore when she was at Ascot with Kate in 2016." We have the L.K. Bennett Cortona Printed Dress in orange. The sleeveless shape, deep V-neck and mid-calf pleated skirt work to flatter the silhouette. It is teamed with the Annette hat by Annabel Allen Millinery, Kate's L.K. Bennett Sledge pumps and Avona clutch.

Snarrbucks - Snarrbucks chose the Shoshanna Short Sleeve Lace Midi Dress with embroidered floral design. The dress is teamed with Stuart Weitzman NearlyNude Block Heel Sandals and Her Majesty's Pear Drop earrings.

Anne (Texas) - "For Royal Ascot, the Roksanda Margot crepe jumpsuit with Kate's black hat from her first Trooping the Colour with her art deco bracelet and matching earrings and her Gianvito Rossi black suede pumps and the Kate Spade evening belles zurie with flower gem clutch and (if the Queen is feeling generous) the Queen's six petal diamond floral brooch. If that is too much black for Royal Ascot or for those who don't like everything matchy-matchy, I'd switch out the shoes and clutch for Kate's neutral LK Bennett sledges and the LK Bennett nina beige nappa leather clutch."

Darla - Darla chose the Hugo Boss Slim-Fit Shift Dress with draped ribbon detail and the Flame hat by Jill Millinery. The hat is described as "flamed sculpture accent with matching veiling and fitted with elastic for easy all day wear".

Deb from Brazil - Deb joins several of our readers who would simply love to see the Duchess wearing dresses by the talented Caroline Herrera. There certainly is a very regal feel to many of the looks in the designer's collections. For Ascot, Deb chose a short sleeve green and cream print dress with a full skirt.

Nicole - Nicole would like to see the Duchess wear the Needle & Thread Jet Frill ruffled embellished tulle dress from the new Victoriana-inspired collection. The Jane Taylor Favite small cocktail hat with silk roses and crin bow, Jimmy Choo Celeste Clutch and Stuart Weitzman Sandals in Metallic Leather wrap up the ensemble.

Julie from NC - Julie chose a white floral print Erdem dress with sheer sleeves and black trim sported by Miranda Kerr with a black and white hat, Kiki McDonough earrings, Kate's black Jimmy Choo Vikki pumps and an updo.

Tammy from California - The Anthropologie Carissima Sheath dress. Tammy noted: "I would have the clasps on the front taken out (they make the dress look too much like a corset) and sewn up. I would change the ribbon belt to black." For shoes, it's the Langley Ruffle Pointy Toe Mule. The look is completed with Diana's Black Stone Earrings: "Hair up just like the following picture, with same hat, only replace flower with a black and white striped flower just like this one."

Courtney from NC - "I know this Ascot look is a departure but hey, why not! So the dress would need to be tweaked to work for Ascot. Get rid of the straps and make it a cap or flutter sleeve and the dress would work and be fun." Below, the Dolce & Gabbana Floral-Print Silk-Twill Midi Dress. The hat would be altered and without the black and white ribbon and replaced with a purple ribbon drawing from the purple in the dress. Courtney continued: "Shoes - a bespoke color in these shoes. Leave the black but sub out the pink for a matching purple to the ribbon on the hat." We also have Kate's lavender Kiki McDonough earrings.

Royalfan - Royalfan chose the magenta Carolina Herrera Cap-Sleeve Boat-Neck Dress styled with a statement white Philip Treacy hat and a soft pink Alexander McQueen skull clutch. For jewellery, Royalfan opted for Diana's pearl earrings and triple strand pearl bracelet (pieces we've seen Kate wearing in recent months) and an updo. Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals complete the look.

Rebecca from Across the Pond - "In the Royal Repeats category; I would love to see the green Temperley London dress from the India/Bhutan Tour styled with the mystery clutch purse from 2016 Garden Party and the amber earrings from the Poland tour. To finish off new shoes from Ted Baker and to an Ascot worthy froth of a chapeau from John Boyd (with hair decidedly up!)."

Ballina from Austria - Ballina would also love to see a repeat of Kate's Temperley Desdemona Dress accessorised with a statement Philip Treacy flower hat, Rupert Sanderson Nada Ferrari Glitter Delta pumps and the Mansur Graviel Moon mini suede clutch.

Indigoisle - Jonathan Simkhai describes his Pre-Fall '17 collection as "both delicate and sharp, vulnerable and powerful". Indigoisle chose his blue Corded Lace Dress with the Jane Taylor Lule customised in navy, the L.K. Bennett Helena Navy Suede Sandals and the Jimmy Choo Celeste clutch.

We'll see you on Wednesday afternoon, when William, Kate and Harry visit the White Garden at Kensington Palace on the eve of Diana's 20th anniversary.
