This outfit is one of the only tmes I have quibbled with a cape, and yet the memory of this appearance with the Stuart Tiara at full blast is so strong I didn't even come up with any runners up from the evening category.

Runners up:

• Matter of fact, the only two runners up I did come up with both hail from the same visit: her Claes Iversen soft pink arrival outfit and her Oscar de la Renta hot pink departure outfit.

Detailed but delicate, Mary's tiered and lacy dress would definitely make my top 5 dresses of 2018 list. Near to the top. Princess perfect, as per usual.

Runners up:

• Mary usually starts the year with a strong contender in her gown for the New Year gala, including this year's red Soeren Le Schmidt dress.
• I gotta give some love to her tartan McQueen skirt from earlier this month, while we're at it.
