Duchess of Cambridge looks red HOT in Spanish style dress for party in Berlin

Kate, 35, stepped out with Prince William to attend a Queen’s birthday party at the British Ambassadorial Residence during an official visit to Germany.

The Duchess chose a tomato red maxi dress for the occasion, flaunting her shoulders thanks to the fashionable cold-shoulder detail.

The dress had an elasticated waist which showed of Kate’s slim figure.

The puffed sleeves added a cute detail, and finished at the elbows.

The bold item finished with a ruffled hem which kissed Kate’s ankles.

She pared the dress with a pair of nude strappy sandals, much like the Prada pair she wore in London recently.

Kate wore her new shorter hairstyle in tonged curls, and kept her makeup dramatic with a smoky eye.

The bold look tonight is in keeping with a bold style the Duchess has been trying out recently.

She has been getting much more daring with lower necklines and shorter hemlines, and has also branched out with her accessories away from the safe neutrals she loved in the past.

But what is behind this radical new look? There has been speculation Kate may be using a new stylist.

The Duchess has worked with Natasha Archer since 2014, and this has not been revealed to have changed.

Therefore it would seem together the pair have decided to take Kate’s wardrobe in a new direction.

After five years in the role of Duchess, Kate has obviously grown in confidence, and now no longer feels she must dress ultra-conservatively.

Earlier today, Kate stepped out in a figure-hugging pleated coat.

She looked every inch the fashionista in her eye-catching jacket as she strutted along the runway in Warsaw, Poland, as she made her way to Berlin.

The mother-of-two didn’t have a hair out of place with a chignon style keeping her new Kob style – a long-bob named after the Duchess – in place perfectly.
