From the moment she stepped off the Plane in Belize, the Duchess of Cambridge served elegance and composure. The flight from London to Belize is over 15 hours — I Googled it — and the Duchess managed to stay unwrinkled and flyaway free; truly a royal feat.

I *love* a monochromatic moment. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, often delivers these, especially when traveling internationally, by paying tribute to different countries’ national colors. Her first 'fit on the Caribbean Tour is, fittingly, almost exactly Flag of Belize blue.
