Duchess Kate Hits An Unexpected High Fashion Note In Floral Erdem

"She can't stop, and she won't stop."

Good things come to those who wait watch the Duchess of Cambridge's every move.

Kate arrived at a gala at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London Tuesday night in what feels like her zillionth outfit of the week. Stepping out of her comfort zone and into a bold floral Erdem dress ($4,650) with a giant ruffled bottom, she pleasantly surprised fans used to her typically conservative style.

The appearance comes on the heels of a whirlwind of public events, including a state dinner, a visit to Scotland and even a night out on the town at the premiere of "Spectre" Monday night.

An avid outfit repeater, Kate typically plays it safe for events like this. We're so excited to see her in a riskier look -- or as "risky" as a duchess will get, anyway.
