She's donned a number of handmade, flowery outfits during her tour of the South Pacific with Prince William.
And after more than a week on tour in front of the worlds' cameras, the Duchess of Cambridge headed home with her husband today having not suffered a single wardrobe malfunction.
However, she was almost left red-faced at Brisbane Airport when a gust of wind threatened to play havoc with her summery dress.

Kate and William had stopped over at the Australian airport for a brief two-hour stay, before catching a connection flight to England.
After disembarking their private jet from Tuvalu to Brisbane, the Duchess had to grab the bottom of her dress to prevent it being blown up by a gust of wind.
Following the near embarrassment, Kate opted for a change of outfit, as she was spotted wearing jeans and a white top as she made her way through the airport with William later on.

The couple caught a commercial flight back to England with their entourage soon after.
Many Australians were hugely excited that the Duchess set foot in their country for the first time but unfortunately there was no formal appearance.
The couple waited in a VIP terminal while their luggage was transferred to the scheduled flight for the long journey back to England.
The Duke and Duchess will enjoy a few days off before William returns to work as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot in Anglesey.
