They are just days away from setting off on their trip to India and Bhutan and last night, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge marked the occasion by attending a pre-tour reception at Kensington Palace.

And true to sartorial form Kate chose to dress diplomatically for the event, opting to wear a floor-length midnight blue dress by Indian designer Saloni, which gave a nod to her upcoming host nation.

With its sheer sleeves, poker-dot detailing and nipped in waist, the floor-skimming gown gives the illusion of a see-through chest panel, but the nude material underneath and high collar makes the dress drop down the right side of demure.

Kate accessorised the glamorous gown with diamond and sapphire statement earrings, simple pointed blue court shoes and wore her locks down in ultra-loose waves.

Typically, as with many of Kate’s sartorial choices, the ‘Mary Illusion Dot Dress,’ is completely sold out, but it was previously on sale for £498.

This isn’t the first time the Duchess has worn the London-Mumbai based label. Days after it was announced that the Duke and Duchess would be travelling to India, Kate wore a cobalt blue, crinkle-effect dress by Saloni for the Fostering Excellence Awards in London. Perhaps Kate was offering a hint that she might continue to wear the label’s colour-pop and print designs for the upcoming tour. 

On previous royal tours Kate has made a point of wearing pieces by local designers. When she arrived in Montreal she wore a dress by Canadian born designer Erdem Moralioglu, in Australia she wore a dress by Australian label Zimmermann whilst on Manley Beach, and on her three-day trip to New York in 2014 she wore pieces by American designers, including a Tory Burch coat and J. Crew jeans.

"Do you remember on Thursday, 24 March 2016, we talked about world's 10 best wedding destination? Here's another  amazing places for vacation."  Want to drop 80% of the average U.S. annual income in one night? Or maybe get some shuteye where Bill Clinton and Pavarotti have previously laid their heads (on separate occasions)? The Middle East's most opulent hotel suites can deliver. With acres of gold leaf and chandeliers at every turn, there's opulence and decor to make Liberace blush.  Throw in Jacuzzis, cinemas, butlers and fine dining, and those cavernous 12,000-square-foot chambers can soon fill up. Sure the prices are high, but the money buys jaw-dropping views over sights including the Bosphorus, the Gulf of Oman and the world's tallest building.  And who knows, the hotels might even throw in a toothbrush for guests who forget theirs. Here are nine of the most extravagant nights that platinum credit cards can buy:...
