The Duchess of Cambridge pulled out all the stops for her last night in The Bahamas on Friday – and we think she saved her best royal tour outfit for last.
Kate looked exquisite in a turquoise satin dress by couture wedding designer Phillipa Lepley that featured bow-detailing on the shoulders and an elegant, pleated skirt for her arrival alongside Prince William at a reception hosted by the Governor General at the Baha Mar Resort.

She accessorised with matching Van Cleef jewellery comprising of a delicate necklace and drop earrings and the 'Blue Satin Hayworth Clutch Bag' from Lulu Guinness – which has already sold out.
Kate completed her look with a pair of stunning Cinderella-style white mesh pumps from Gianvito Rossi that feature suede inserts and are lavishly embellished with clusters of Swarovski crystals.

Kate and William will fly home to the UK on Saturday after touring the Caribbean. During the reception on their penultimate night, William praised the beauty of the Bahamas and the warmth of its people.
He said: "Catherine and I have witnessed this everywhere we've been today on our first official visit to your wonderful islands."
He went on: "But this is not my first time in The Bahamas. I came here with my mother as a child. Snorkelling around the James Bond wrecks off Nassau left me with the most vivid memory of your beautiful blue waters. For a young boy, obsessed with 007, it was the best holiday ever."
