Prince William and Kate Middleton kicked off their two-day trip to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with a visit to Truro Cathedral on Tuesday. Of course all eyes were on what the Duchess of Cambridge would wear for her first engagement – and the stylish royal looked perfectly prepared for the summer weather in a sweet pink dress by American designer Lela Rose.

The 34-year-old accessorized the fit-and-flare dress, which retailed for $1295, with a clutch bag and nude wedges from Monsoon. She wore her hair down in her signature glossy blow dry and completed the look with simple jewelry: drop earrings, watch and her stunning sapphire engagement ring.

It is not the first time Kate has worn an outfit from Lela Rose; the Duchess donned a white lace peplum cocktail dress from the designer to attend the Governor-General's Farewell Reception during her royal tour of Australia in April 2014.

The outing marked the start of the royal couple's two day visit to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. William and Kate will meet local businesses and charities, as well as visiting a number of Duchy of Cornwall projects, which fund the public, charitable and private activities of William's father Prince Charles.

Kate has been looking better than ever in recent weeks with a series of fashion-forward outfits both from the high street and high end designers. The mother-of-two looked fantastic in an off-the-rack- LK Bennett skater dress for an engagement in London last week.

Royal watchers and fashion fans alike will have their eyes peeled for what's in the Duchess' wardrobe during the Cornwall trip!
