Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, attended her first red carpet event in quite a while, and she certainly made an entrance. The duchess wore an opulent gold gown to the premiere of No Time to Die [1] at London's Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday, 28 Sept. There's always a subtle reference with Kate's statement outfits, and the James Bond premiere was no different. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the twisted-front design and general silhouette of her dress was very similar to the gown Princess Diana wore to the 1985 premiere of another James Bond film [2], A View to a Kill.

Kate's gold Jenny Packham gown was likely a custom creation as it takes design cues from Packham's Simona, Christina, and Margot gowns from the designer's autumn/winter 2021 collection, according to What Kate Wore [3]. The gown features generous amounts of gold sequins, beads, and embellishments, as well as structured caped shoulders and a plunging V-neckline. Kate paired the look with Aquazzura gold Fenix heels, and gold O'nitaa earrings that the duchess wore on her 2019 trip to Pakistan [4].
