Earlier this week, the Duchess of York made an appearance at both Safety Bay High School and Waikiki Primary School in Australia – and her dress was a major head-turner.
Sarah Ferguson, 65, was seen wearing a black polka dot dress as she read to a group of school children which featured a lovely white collar and pearls for buttons.

Kate’s Alessandra Rich dress was teamed with mid-toned blue suede pumps and a Smythson black leather clutch.
