The Duchess of Cambridge looked perfectly polished as she arrived at a south London children's centre this morning.
Kate, 37, is visiting the Henry Fawcett Centre in Kennington, where she will learn more about the work being done to support children and their families.
The royal mixed high street and high end for the outing, pairing a new £790 purple pussy bow blouse by Gucci with a favourite pair of £130 high waist trousers by Jigsaw.
The look is something of a fashion risk for the royal, who typically favours mid-length dresses for public appearances.

Look pretty in purple like Kate in a pussybow blouse by Gucci
It’s proving to be a busy week for the Duchess of Cambridge.
For an engagement in London today, she lived up to her stylish reputation, opting for a stunning Gucci blouse, trousers by Jigsaw and an Aspinal of London bag.
Cut from fluid silk crepe, the former incorporates a loose silhouette and pussybow tie, creating a timeless aesthetic that would make a fabulous addition to any wardrobe. Meanwhile, the purple hue will add a welcome pop of color to the sea of black and grey we’ve been donning through winter!
The best thing about this design is its versatility. As Kate shows, it effortlessly teams with high-waisted trousers, while working equally well with jeans and skirts of varying lengths.

LEAP was set up by A Better Start, a major funding initiative from The National Lottery Community Fund, and is seeking to test new ways of making support services for families stronger.
Her Royal Highness will join parents and their toddlers taking part in sessions called 'Circle of Security' and 'Together Time', to see different examples of what is available as part of the programme.
