For an evening reception in Thimphu, Kate paired a red poppy-printed gown by Beulah with familiar earrings — it’s another outing for the Cassandra Goad Temple of Heaven girandoles.

Kate wore her hair covering her ears, so the earrings are obscured in most of the photographs, but we still got a glimpse here and there.

And here’s a better look at the full gown. The print is a nifty homage to the host country; the blue poppy is Bhutan’s national flower.

For another of the outdoor events on the tour — a six-hour long hike to Tiger’s Nest, a monastery high in the mountains of Bhutan — Kate went appropriately casual.

She wore her hair down for the trek, but we still had occasional glimpses of her Kiki McDonough citrine drop earrings.

Kate actually returned from the hike with more jewelry than she brought along, though — she and William made some purchases from local vendors on the mountain, and Kate selected a new pair of hoop earrings.
