Angela Kelly Beaded Silk Jacket and Chiffon Flounced Skirt

This is an Angela Kelly outfit made specifically for the 2010 tour of Canada. The yellow silk jacket is beaded at the collar and cuffs in a pattern devised by Ms Kelly and her team and embroidered by skilled women of the Mi'kmaq community, whose knowledge of beading goes back hundred of years.
There's a matching silk chiffon skirt in a slightly paler shade of yellow.
For the first appearance in Canada, the Queen accessorised her jacket with a brooch in the shape of a spray of enamel maple leaves.

A peek at the embroidered cuffs (the hat is by Rachel Trevor Morgan and discussed in my post here):


 



 



The look was repeated on 12 March 2012, at a reception given by the Commonwealth Secretary General at Marlborough House in London, this time accessorised with the Jardine Star brooch:
