The deep red hue was area on: bold, regal, elegant, as well as no accidental stroke of luck – the 38-year-old will have learnt from the Queen that it is important to wear an eye-catching colour for such engagements so that people who may have waited to catch a glimpse of you can determine you quickly in a crowd or from a distance.
