Kate Middleton Is Glittering in Gold With Princess Diana’s Tiara at State Banquet
Kate Middleton’s latest look is good as gold.
The Princess of Wales donned an all-gold ensemble as she arrived at Windsor Castle with her husband Prince William Sept. 17, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted a state banquet for President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Crafted by British designer Phillippa Lepley, the silk couture gown featured an evening coat with gold lace detailing and hand-embroidered roses, as well as French knots and satin-stitched blooms.
To top off her outfit, Kate, 43, wore the iconic Lover’s Knot tiara, a known favorite of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. The stunning headpiece, which features 19 arches and 28 drop-shaped pearls, is believed to have been created in 1914 for Queen Mary and was eventually passed down to Queen Elizabeth II, according to Town & Country magazine.
As for William, the 43-year-old attended the royal affair wearing a black Windsor tailcoat with red accents and gold buttons over a white shirt and white tie. The heir apparent to the British throne completed his wardrobe with a large blue sash and several miniature medals on his lapel.
