Duchess Kate shines in Missoni dress to drink beers in Belfast

The Duchess of Cambridge swapped her sneakers for heels for the first night of her surprise two-day royal tour of Belfast, Ireland on Wednesday at the capital's Empire Music Hall alongside husband Prince William. The couple shared a few beers with some of the locals (with Kate even bartending!), including Dame Mary Peters, a former athlete.

The mom-of-three went with a seafoam green sparkly dress by Missoni for the evening, which she paired with a Mulberry Bayswater clutch, tan Gianvito Rossi pumps and a flawless blowout. The long-sleeved dress currently retails for $2500 on Net-A-Porter's website.

Earlier on Wednesday, Prince William and Duchess Kate met with school children at the Windsor Park Football Stadium, where the couple participated in soccer drills and later competed against each other during a match. The two also met with legendary footballer Pat Jennings and toured the iconic arena.

Following their visit to the soccer stadium, the Cambridges took part in canoe racing, archery and various team building exercises as part of the Roscor Youth Village's program, which brings together young teens through various outdoor activities.

According to Kensington Palace's Twitter, those taking part in the program are also taught budget management and cooking skills.
