Watch: Kate enjoys Fabergé exhibition at the V&A

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out this morning (2 December) for a visit to the V&A Museum in London to view its new exhibition, Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution.

During the visit, the duchess - who is royal patron of the world leading museum of art and design - spent time browsing the creations of Carl Fabergé, looking suitably festive as she did so.

The fashion icon - known for her thoughtful outfits and high/low mentality when it comes to pairing high street pieces with high end designers - wore a jewel-toned paisley print shirt by Ralph Lauren.

As per new government regulations, the duchess also wore a black face mask for her visit inside a public space - the V&A website requests that visitors wear face coverings inside the museum at all times, unless exempt.

However, it was obviously the £139 Paisley Georgette Tie-Neck Shirt that caught everyone's eye, boasting a rich colour palette of red, navy and green that feels perfect for the season, with a chic neck tie that elevates the entire look.

It's still available to order online in a number of sizes, but is bound to sell out now that the duchess has worn it, so we'd recommend getting in there early.
