Kate Middleton Is a Vision in White at State Banquet Held in Buckingham Palace

Per The Court Jeweller, the headpiece previously belonged to the Queen Mother and the name given to the tiara was inspired by the royal’s father, Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. And if that weren’t enough, Catherine is the second person to ever wear the tiara out in public, with the Queen Mother being the first.

As stated by Harper’s Bazaar, the royal mom of three styled the iconic tiara with a beautiful white dress designed by Jenny Packham with gold embroidered cape sleeves and white opera gloves. As the pièces de résistance, she accessorized the ensemble with diamond drop earrings. And she certainly turned heads indeed. 

This latest appearance comes after Catherine and her husband, Prince William, 41, attended a ceremonial welcome for the President and the First Lady of the Republic of Korea at the Horse Guards Parade earlier that day. For the occasion, the royal princess sported an elegant updo (for the second time in a couple of months!) with a fierce red coverup that featured a giant bow.

Absolutely stunning (as always).
