Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, turned heads at a glittering black tie gala dinner in Paris on 17 March 2017.

Alongside her husband, Prince William, she attended the event at the British Ambassador’s residence, also known as the Hotel de Charest.

The royal couple was invited to the French capital for a two-day visit, upon the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The gala dinner marked their third engagement since arriving in Paris, and it was attended by a host of famous celebrities with connections to both France and Great Britain.

Among the guests were French actors Audrey Tautou and Jean Reno, British actor Dane Christen Scott-Thomas, who now resides in Paris, and French former footballer Robert Pires.

Prince William took the opportunity to deliver a message to the British Embassy from Queen Elizabeth II.

All eyes were on Catherine as she stepped out in a stunning gown designed by British fashion designer Jenny Packham.

The ice blue dress featured a sheer bodice, sheer sleeves, and a floor-length skirt.

Embellished with crystals, sequins, and floral motifs, the dress exuded elegance and sophistication.

Previously available for purchase from Jimmy’s New York for £3,135, the dress was described as dazzling, with a sheer, flower-sequin accent throughout.

To complete her ensemble, Catherine opted for a pair of Oscar de la Renta Lame Cabrinha pumps.

These platinum-colored shoes, made in Italy, boasted a 100mm heel, a pointed toe, scallop sides, and a raised back.

They can be purchased from Oscar de la Renta’s website for £592.

Interestingly, Catherine had first debuted these pointed pumps at the UK India Year of Culture 2017 event in February.

Adding a touch of regal glamour, Catherine wore the Queen’s Diamond Chandelier Earrings, which she has borrowed on several occasions in the past.

She had first showcased these earrings during a BAFTA event in Los Angeles back in 2011.

Additionally, she adorned her wrist with Queen Mary’s Diamond Bar Choker Bracelet, which she had debuted at a state banquet for the Chinese president in 2015.
