"We are so honored," Naeem said alongside a photo of the moment on his Instagram account. And it's not the designer's first big moment of the year – first daughters Malia and Sasha Obama also chose two wear his creations to their first state dinner in March.

Naeem, a favorite with famous names like Michelle Obama, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez, created the dress Kate wore for his Pre-Fall 2015 collection.

It's no surprise Kate chose a designer with Indian roots for the visit. Throughout the week's tour of India and Bhutan, she has consistently impressed with thoughtful outfits that pay tribute to her host countries, including a locally-made pieces and a Beulah poppy print dress – the country's national flower – while in Bhutan.

The royal mom-of-two finished off the look with her signature nude heels and earrings that she had purchased locally the previous day during the royal couple's trek in Bhutan.

William and Kate arrived on Saturday, bringing their characteristic friendliness to the poignant Taj Mahal engagement, which saw them following in William's late mother Princess Diana's footsteps – and  even re-creating her famous 1992 pose outside the historic building.
