Kate Middleton might love a country casual look, but she never fails to bring the glitz and glamour to a state banquet. Princess Kate brought back her favorite tiara for the banquet honoring President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump on Wednesday, September 17—and she debuted an incredible new gown for the occasion.
The Princess of Wales swapped the burgundy coat dress she wore earlier in the day for a shimmering gold lace evening coat by British designer Phillipa Lepley worn over an ivory crepe gown. Lepley is famous for her bridalwear, and Kate wore a bespoke version of the designer's Darling Coat in hand-embroidered gold Chantilly lace. This marks the first time the princess has worn a coat to a state banquet, and only the second time she's ever worn the designer.
