Pregnant Kate Middleton Looks Spectacular in Blue Velvet Dress for Swedish Event

The Duchess of Cambridge once again ditched maternity wear for her last day in Sweden on Wednesday.

Kate Middleton continues to impress with her royal tour ensembles.

The 36-year-old pregnant Duchess of Cambridge once again looked spectacular on her and Prince William's Royal Tour of Sweden and Norway, this time attending a reception on Wednesday night to celebrate Swedish culture at the Fotografiska Gallery on the second day of their trip.

Middleton covered her burgeoning baby bump in a blue velvet dress by London-based designer Erdem. The elegant frock featured a white floral print, bell sleeves and a solid hemline. She paired the gown with black Gianvito Rossi "D’Orsay" suede sandals and minimal jewelry, including silver earrings and her wedding ring.

Middleton's brown locks were pulled back in a neat updo and her makeup consisted of blush, smoky brown eyeshadow and a light pink lip.

The Duke and Duchess were also accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel as they greeted guests inside the event.

During the glam evening, William took the stage to talk about his and his wife's time in Sweden.

"In the past two days, Catherine and I have experienced some of the unique mix of factors that contribute to the Swedish way of life," he expressed. "The Swedish love of the outdoors -- the way you embrace your climate and environment and are committed to ensuring future generations can do the same. The fact that you do so when it is so cold is really inspiring. One lesson that we will take home with us is that children are actively encouraged to spend time outdoors, whatever the weather."

Earlier that day, the couple -- who are expecting their third child together -- visited the Karolinska Institute to learn more about Sweden's pioneering work in the field of mental health and children's well-being, and how children and young teenagers are supported through the Swedish education system.

Middleton looked equally as stunning in a red houndstooth Catherine Walker coat, which she paired with a burgundy Chanel bag and a white Alexander McQueen dress underneath.

On Thursday, the royal couple will be meeting representatives of Sweden's armed forces before heading off to Oslo, where they will be greeted by Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.
