As much as I loved the Princess of Wales’s gold gown for September’s State Banquet, she just took things to another level of magnificence. After welcoming the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife to the UK earlier in the day wearing blue, Kate stuck with the colour for the evening at Windsor Castle, paired with a very significant tiara.
Her floor-sweeping icy-blue gown was embellished with glimmering sequins and had the dramatic cape sleeves she loves. Like her golden cape-effect tulle gown for the No Time To Die movie premiere in 2021, versions of which are still being made, this was unmistakably a Jenny Packham design.
