Kate Middleton and Prince William Dazzle at Windsor State Banquet
Princess Kate Middleton and Prince William dazzled at a state banquet held at Windsor Castle.
The Princess of Wales, 43, graced the event in a stunning dress paired with an extravagant tiara to honor the visit of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, December 3. Kate looked ethereal in a blue Jenny Packham gown distinguished by an asymmetrical neckline, shimmering sequins, a pleated skirt, and a glamorous cape that flowed into a delicate train.
To enhance her look, Kate adorned herself with Queen Victoria’s Oriental Circlet Tiara, crafted by Prince Albert in 1853. Originally set with 2,600 diamonds and opals, the gems were later replaced with rubies. She complemented the tiara with diamond earrings that formerly belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as well as a blue sash and star decoration.
Kate completed her stunning appearance with a glamorous makeup look featuring hydrated skin, bronzed and blushed cheeks. Her makeup was finished with well-groomed eyebrows, long lashes, and pink lips. Her brunette hair was styled with a subtle side part and arranged in luscious, bouncy curls.
Prince William, 43, looked impeccable in a tailored black blazer adorned with a red collar and cuffs, paired with a white dress shirt and dark trousers.
As they entered the banquet, the couple radiated joy for the cameras.
The official Prince and Princess of Wales social media account showcased another picture of the couple posing together before the event.
“Looking forward to a special banquet tonight in Windsor 🇩🇪🇬🇧,” they wrote in the post. Fans praised their outfits in the comments section.
“Absolutely stunning!…😍✨ Wow! 🥰❤️👏🏼,” one fan exclaimed. Another remarked, “They look [sic] stunning!!!! 😍😍 What a perfect blue dress!!! 👏👏👏.” A third commented, “Love seeing a rare tiara worn! 👑.”
This isn’t Kate’s first breathtaking appearance at a state banquet. In September, she wowed in a gold ensemble while welcoming President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle.
Her custom silk dress by British designer Phillipa Lepley showcased a strapless white bodice and skirt, overlaid by a semi-sheer gold Chantilly lace evening coat featuring a high neck, shoulder pads, and long sleeves.
Kate amplified her look with Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara, embellished with 19 diamond arches and dangling pearls. She accessorized with a blue sash and carried a silk clutch adorned with additional pearls.
All eyes were on Kate Middleton at the state banquet — and for good reason. The Princess of Wales, 43, embraced her role during the September 17 event honoring President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump during their state visit to the U.K., as noted by royal author Ingrid Seward, who commended Kate for her impressive presentation.
She looked stunning, complemented by soft makeup that included contoured cheeks, brown eyeshadow, a dash of mascara, and lined lips. Kate’s hair was styled in lovely loose curls.
William matched Kate’s elegance in a black blazer, white dress shirt, and black trousers.
Throughout prior years, Kate has embraced various radiant looks, including a red gown with a scoop neck, pleated skirt, and cape, as well as a white A-line dress finished with a ruffled skirt. Additionally, she’s donned drop-waist styles, vibrant red outfits, and more.
