After cutting six inches offer hair, Kate's makeover also included a trend-led high fashion wardrobe and her ensemble at Wednesday night's even in Berlin is already being considered one of her best looks ever.
For a garden party celebration her grandmother-in-law Britain's Queen Elizabeth's birthday at the British Ambassadorial Residence, she turned heads in a flowing red, off-the-shoulder chiffon gown by Alexander McQueen, her favourite designer for international royal trips.
She accessorised with a pair of red crystal earrings by Irish designer Simone Rocha, which have unsurprisingly sold out. It's not the first time Kate has championed one of our own talents, she has been pictured in Paul Costelloe and Orla Kiely, but Rocha's designs are indicative of a more fashion-forward Kate.
Not to mention her new signature shoe - the suede triple strap wavy sandal by Prada.
Earlier this month, Kate got the internet abuzz by wearing two outfits with a plunging neckline, which is leaps away from her normal comfort zone comprising of knee length skirts, blazers and nude court shoes.
Kate and husband Prince William are joined by their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte for the second leg of their European tour after three days in Poland.
