Well, folks, after what feels like five years (OK, maybe it was only a few months), No Time to Die [1] is finally here. And after such a long wait, it was only fitting that the world premiere of Daniel Craig [2]'s fifth and final James Bond film was a big celebration. Held at Royal Albert Hall in London, it seemed as though every major celebrity in the UK — be it actor, athlete, royal, or Peloton instructor (Leanne Hainsby was there!) — was in attendance.
Despite the torrential rain, the stars made it a point to dazzle with their red carpet fashion choices. Always one for bold colour, actor Lashana Lynch [3] stole the show in a vibrant yellow gown by a fellow Brit, designer Vivienne Westwood. Phoebe Waller-Bridge returned to the red carpet [4] in a formfitting black sequined Azzaro jumpsuit, and tennis player Emma Raducanu [5] channeled Old Hollywood in a shimmering white asymmetrical gown from Dior's 2022 resort collection.
Perhaps the most surprising red carpet gown of the evening, however, was Kate Middleton's [6]. The Duchess of Cambridge chose a gold sequined Jenny Packham gown that felt flashier and, dare we say, sexier than we usually see her in — even if the dress featured a shoulder-covering cape. And with a voluminous updo, it was almost as if she'd stepped off of the 1964 set of Goldfinger and onto the red carpet.
