Kate likely chose the yellow color as a nod to the Swedish flag.

Princess Diana's Collingwood diamond and pearl earrings and bracelet adorned her burgundy Jimmy Choo purse.

Kate's Gianvito Rossi pumps completed the look.

Kate's low bun hairstyle allowed her dress and jewelry to take center stage.
