At the global premier of Tom Cruise’s new movie Digger in London’s Leicester Square, the Princess of Wales made a strong case for autumn’s trendiest – but trickiest – shade: purple. Notoriously difficult to style, Kate Middleton’s embracing of purple follows the colour’s fashion week dominance.
While conversation around autumn colour palettes often revolves around burgundy, chocolate brown, and tomato red, the pivot to purple feels fresh. Kate’s dress is a custom Jenny Packham purple chiffon gown, which appears to be based on a Jenny Packham A/W 2016 design, distinguished by its deep V-neck, pleated bodice, cape-like sleeves and a floor-sweeping skirt.
