The blushing Duchess! Kate Middleton continued her string of fashion repeats on Wednesday stepping out in an old, royal fan favorite gown by Jenny Packham.
The 34-year-old glistened in the pearlescent rose sequin gown at a fundraiser for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices. The stylish royal was joined by her husband Prince William, who looked dapper in a tux, for the charity event.

Kate first wore the elegant number by the British designer back in 2011 for the ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) Gala dinner held at Kensington Palace. However, unlike five years ago, the Duchess of Cambridge swept her glossy locks into an elegant updo for the June 22 event at Houghton Hall.

The organization is an important one of Kate’s. The mom-of-two has been royal patron of EACH since January 2012. In March of 2012, she delivered her very first public speech as a member of the royal family for the opening of the Treehouse —a children's hospice opened by the charity.
THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE'S BOLDEST FASHION MOMENTS

Guests of the charity event feasted on culinary delights including canapés, bread, chocolate, fish created by world renowned chefs Sat Bains, Galton Blackiston, Mark Edwards, Claude Bosi and Tom Kerridge. Meanwhile, the royals and guests were entertained by magician Archie Manners and serenaded by the music stylings of Sam Aldersey-Williams and the Jefford Brothers.
For the Prince, the dinner was a welcome treat. While speaking with the chefs, the Duchess joked, "William has to put up with my cooking most of the time," with her husband adding, "It's the reason I'm so skinny."
