Looking radiant as ever on Saturday with one final appearance on the tour, the 40-year-old royal put on a colourful display to leave Lynden Pindling International Airport in a sunshine yellow dress. Duchess Kate opted to wear one of her favourite designers, Alessandra Rich, accessorising with sleek Gianvito Rossi heels and a coordinating white clutch bag.

The Duchess' striking 80s-inspired dress featured a sophisticated button-down design, exaggerated puffed sleeves and a feminine, peplum frill in a buttercup yellow hue.
The crystal-embellished buckle and faux pearl buttons are a nod to the decade's glamorous excess - and Kate may have wished to pay homage to the late Princess Diana with her striking look.

"I almost never say this about Kate’s outfits, but I don’t like it. It’s too much," commented one fan. "I'm picturing Diana in the 80s!" wrote another.
A third fan agreed: "There is way too much going on, the ruffles, the bow, the belt, the pattern. I don't see her in that dress. Not her style at all."

"Oh! This is beautiful and she wears it well!!!" wrote another. "The dress has personality and it lightens her up! I love it. I hope she wears more of this style. It is elegant, classy and very much what a beautiful royal should wear! Absolutely a charming dress."
