The first appearance of Kate Middleton and her new husband Prince William since returning from their honeymoon took place today in Buckingham Palace. Kate was on-hand to greet President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama on their State visit today.

For the occasion Kate chose to fly for the flag once again for the British high street wearing a beige tailored bandage dress from Reiss. This is a great look on Kate, it’s formal without ageing her which has been my main complaint with her fashion choices. The Shola dress was available to buy online this morning for £175 but the website has since crashed, if you’re super quick you should still be able to pick one up instore.
