(AFP Photo) When in India, do as the Indians do, seems to be the thought process behind Kate Middleton's wardrobe for her first ever visit here. Sunday was spent in a paisley print Alexander McQueen dress, an Anita Dongre tunic dress and, finally, a royal blue gown at the Bollywood Gala. Ms Middleton, formally known as the Duchess of Cambridge, wore a stunning blue beaded gown by one of her favourite British designers, Jenny Packham. With a twist - according to several reports, the beading work for her gorgeous dress has apparently been done in, what for it, India. Prince William looked dapper in a black tuxedo.
