The grand event unfolded amidst the royal couple’s official tour of Poland and Germany, adding a touch of regal splendor to the evening.
The distinguished gathering was elegantly hosted by Jonathan Knott, the esteemed British ambassador to Poland, with over 600 esteemed guests in attendance.
For this special occasion, Princess Catherine donned a stunning white cocktail dress meticulously crafted by renowned Polish designer, Gosia Buczyńska.

In an exclusive revelation, Buczyńska disclosed that the bespoke creation worn by Kate was a product of four weeks of meticulous craftsmanship, following consultations with the Duchess’s stylist and personal assistant, Natasha Archer.
Embracing the rich tapestry of Polish culture and folklore, the dress bore folds intricately designed to evoke the essence of thistles, drawing inspiration from the country’s mythical heritage.
The designer expressed her delight and surprise upon learning of Catherine’s choice to wear her creation, underscoring the joy she felt at witnessing her masterpiece grace the evening’s festivities firsthand.
Gracing the occasion with poise and grace, Princess Catherine complemented the white attire with Gianvito Rossi d’Aussay sandals in luxurious black suede, exuding sophistication with every step.
