The British Royal Air Force carrier flew Kate Middleton and Prince William, sans their three children, after an eight-hour flight, at about 9.30pm at Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi.
Kate was wearing a traditional shalwar kameez, an ombré turquoise dress and pants by Catherine Walker, plus cream-colored high heels. She paired the look with earrings from Zeen - a Pakistani brand - she has opted for the second time.

"This is the most complex tour undertaken by (the duke and duchess) to date, given the logistical and security considerations," according to a Kensington Palace statement issued in advance of the trip. "Pakistan hosts one of Britain’s largest overseas networks, with the British High Commission in Islamabad being one of the United Kingdom's largest diplomatic missions in the world."
Kate's choice of attire won the internet, with many comparing her look with Princess Diana's blue traditional wear. The latter - on several occasions - wore blue shalwar kameez.
"Coincidence? Or did Kate Middleton pick the colour deliberately? On the right it her mother in law, the late Princess Diana," a user shared.

While this was just the first outfit, we can't wait to see what she wears next.
