The holiday season is here, and the royal family knows how to dress for the occasion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have just announced an upcoming date night, and as expected, their fashion choices are nothing short of extravagant.
Princess Catherine, in particular, wowed the crowd with her impeccable taste in glamorous evening gowns at this year’s star-studded Royal Variety Performance.
Prince William couldn’t take his eyes off her.
For this glittering event, the Princess of Wales opted for a show-stopping red carpet look, wearing a sparkling emerald-columned gown designed by Jenny Packham, a London-based designer favored by the royals.
To complement her outfit, she carried a glittery green clutch and wore elegant gold fan-shaped earrings.
Her loose curls cascaded over her shoulder, adding a touch of effortless glamour.
Meanwhile, Prince William looked dashing in a classic black and white velvet tuxedo and bow-tie.
Interestingly, Princess Catherine seems to have recycled the same green gown she wore during her 2019 Royal Tour of Pakistan.
Back then, she and Prince William attended a formal reception hosted by the British High Commissioner in Islamabad.
Once again, all eyes were on her as she graced the Royal Variety Performance in 2019.
This time, she wore a modified version of a €6,000 Alexander McQueen dress.
The high-necked black gown had been transformed into a unique piece with a heart-shaped neckline and velvet panels.
With puffed shoulders, long sleeves, and intricate black floral lace over a n^de lining, the dress accentuated her figure with a fitted waist and flared hem.
According to experts, lace seems to be a secret weapon in Princess Catherine’s wardrobe.
Tamara Abraham, a Pakistan editor, explains that lace not only has a timeless appeal but also creates a sense of drama, making her stand out in a crowd.
As someone familiar with complex dress codes and royal protocol, the Princess understands the importance of being identifiable while adhering to black-tie requirements.
To elevate her look, Princess Catherine wore a pair of erdam floral hoops from the 2018 Fall Collection, valued at over €900.
Her hair, which appeared slightly lighter, was styled in a blow-dry with tight, brush-out ringlet curls.
In a previous Royal Variety Performance in 2018, she made a statement in a gown by one of her go-to designers, Jenny Packham.
The dress featured illusion tulle adorned with sequins and crystals in a beautiful floral motif.
The Princess completed her ensemble with a miniature Casa Clutch, also designed by Jenny Packham, and platinum mamey Cabrinha pumps from Oscar de la Renta.
Back in 2014, as she stepped out of her royal car to greet awaiting fans at the London Palladium Theatre, the future queen looked radiant.
She wore a floor-length Diane von Furstenberg dress, paired with the Queen’s diamond chandelier earrings.
Prince William, ever the dapper gentleman, stood close by her side, keeping a watchful eye on his pregnant wife.
The Princess accessorized her long-sleeved dress with a simple black clutch bag and diamond-dropped earrings, while her brunette locks were styled in a low chignon.
The annual Royal Variety Performance is one of the UK’s longest-running events and raises funds for the Royal Variety Charity, which supports elderly or ill performers.
Originating in 1912, the first performance was attended by King George V and Queen Mary.
Today, it is a highly-anticipated televised event that has been watched by over 152 million viewers, according to the Royal Variety Charity.
In conclusion, Princess Catherine continues to captivate audiences with her impeccable fashion choices and ability to shine on any red carpet.
