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.

Science has discovered HELL

An artist's rendering of 55 Cancri-e. Photo: Getty Images Hell has an address: 55 Cancri-e is the first alien planet to have some of its surface features directly observed. And it’s no tropical paradise. For some time 55 Cancri-e has been considered “strange.” Some felt it may be made of diamond. Others suggested it was covered in exotic fluids. So an international team of astronomers headed up by the University of Cambridge has examined data captured by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope about this 40 light-year-distant “super-Earth.” Orbiting a sun-like star in the constellation Cancer, the astronomers observed the rocky planet through several entire orbits — each just 18 hours. What they found is a world of extremes. The planet is tidal-locked, meaning one face is permanently pointing toward the star. This face is a sea of molten lava, with a surface temperature of 2,400 degrees C (4,352 F). The “dark side” is barely better. It’s s...
