(Diya TV) — Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, will visit Bhutan and India next month. While traveling abroad, Middleton has been frequently known to give a nod at her host countries fashion and cloth, this has left many in the fashion world speculating what clothes she will wear during the week-long expedition through the two countries.
During her India visit, it is anticipated Middleton will likely dress in Saloni, a designer she previously dressed in during the Fostering Excellence Awards last November. Her royal blue dress is from the new London-based label launched by Saloni Lodha in 2007 — the Martine matelassé midi dress featured cropped sleeves, a nipped-in waist and a full skirt. Some have hinted she might wear the same dress while on her trip.
For the variety crowd, others believe Kate might showcase something from designer Ritu Kumar. The label already has ties to the royals — during Princess Diana’s 1997 trip to Pakistan, she visited the Shaumat Memoriam Hospital wearing a traditional Indian outfit by the designer. Ritu has also designed pieces for celebrities such as Mischa Barton, Anoushka Shankar, as well as provided wardrobe design for Miss India, Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss Asia since 1994.
