Kate Middleton just reminded us why Alexander McQueen is one of her favorite designers. This time, all it took was a velvet dress.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Diplomatic Corps reception, an annual event for 1,000 guests including ambassadors, high commissioners and government officials, on Wednesday evening. The event was hosted by Queen Elizabeth.
For the occasion, Middleton opted for a navy velvet gown by Alexander McQueen that she paired with a Nizam of Hyderabad necklace and her go-to headpiece—the Lover’s Knot or Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara. She topped off her look with a sash and medals signifying honors bestowed to her by Her Majesty.
