Singapore fling: Kate wows in oriental outfits

She is known for her impeccable style and the Duchess of Cambridge did not disappoint during her tour of Singapore.

Kate wore five spectacular dresses during her three-day visit to the Asian island, each with a distinctly oriental flavour to show respect for her host nation.

Refusing any help from a stylist, the Duchess is understood to have hand-picked each outfit, choosing a clever mix of local and British designers.
