She and William were in Pakistan for a five-day tour last week, where they met with political leaders and local organizations to strengthen the country's bonds with the U.K.

Think you saw all of Kate Middleton's royal wardrobe for her tour of Pakistan? Think again.

Just when we thought we had fawned over and documented all of the Duchess of Cambridge's outfits for last week's five-day trip, new photos have surfaced, reportedly showing her and Prince William at a previously-unannounced engagement.

The exact source of the photos remain unclear, but some fans say they were taken when the duke and duchess attended an event at the British High Commission before the formal reception in Islamabad last week. Regardless of the occasion, Kate looked lovely in a pale blue, mixed-print floral wrap dress with nude flats, dangling earrings, and a cream dupatta slung over her shoulder. Her hair pinned back in a half-up 'do was a romantic touch to her garden party attire.

Eagle-eyed royal watchers have identified her maxi number as a piece from the British clothing brand Ghost. It's sold on a number of e-tailers including John Lewis & Partners (where it's available for $259.50) and, your college favorite, ASOS (where it's currently sold out).

Although Kate and William returned home to the U.K. from Pakistan on Friday, the duchess looked back fondly on the trip with a heartfelt, personal post on Instagram over the weekend to highlight the charity SOS Children's Village.

She wrote in the caption:

"The community at the SOS Village is built around family - and the best possible family you could imagine - where everyone comes together to nurture, love and protect the children in their care.

These vulnerable children, many who have come through traumatic circumstances, are nurtured in this caring environment and are able to form these quality relationships that they so desperately need to thrive. — Catherine"
