Kate Middleton Wears Customised S/S 2011 Alexander McQueen Dress for the Queens's Diamond Jubilee Parade in London

Kate Middleton turned to her favourite fashion house, Alexander McQueen, for something suitably British to wear to yesterday's Jubilee parade down the Thames for the Queen. Sarah Burton customised a chic, pleat-skirted scarlet dress from the house's S/S '11 collection for the Duchess; lowering the mid-thigh hemline to a more appropriate knee-length, and adding a longer sleeve. Kate accessorized with her ever faithful LK Bennet nude pumps, and kept the red theme running with a floral-motif hat by Lock & Co and small box clutch. Smart, ladylike but with a festive flair, we are saluting Kate's chic choice, and clever customisations. Get a better look at celebratory ensemble, from all the angles.
