Catherine, Princess of Wales, knows how to walk a red carpet.
She’s had a fascinating evolution, andKate Middleton’s style has notably changed throughout the years.
She’s even had some cute moments whereshe and her husband, Prince William, coordinated their outfits.
It’s really adorable.
Since William mostly wears a black tuxedo to these events, all eyes are on Catherine.
She’s recycled looks, and she’s stepped out in never-before-seen show-stopping gowns.
While it’s nearly impossible to pick our favorites, these are Kate Middleton’s best red carpet looks.
She wore simple Jimmy Choo heels and a gold clutch.
She rocked her signature, loose curls, worn down long around her shoulders.
But it wasn’t without some controversy.
The concern was obviously not enough to stop William and Kate from coming.
Kate wore a cream-colored gown by Roland Mouret that featured a front slit on the otherwise conservative dress.
She paired her dress with dark heels and a black clutch, and accessorized with a statement necklace.
She wore her hair pulled back in a low ponytail.
The cream gown was actually a repeat dress for Princess Kate.
With this Roland Mouret gown, she did a great job of giving it an aesthetic all its own.
With Prince William as her arm candy, Catherine wore a Jenny Packham gown in pale blue.
The dress featured long, sheer sleeves, and Kate cinched it with a silver belt.
She sported a small clutch and silver heels, pulling her hair back in a delicate chignon.
The trio got to meet the cast of that James Bond production, particularly star Daniel Craig.
While Kate had two royal men on her arm, it was the dress that stole the show.
On X (previously Twitter), people commented on how modest and classy the look was.
“She looks both comfortable and elegant,” one persontweeted.
Another person credited designer Jenny Packham bywriting, “Packham deserves OBE or whatever it is.
The white dress featured a high slit to contrast the high neckline and long sleeves.
Catherine accessorized the white gown by bringing red into the look.
She wore red pumps, held a red clutch, and wore an enameled poppy on her chest.
She rocked her hair in the classic, long loose curls that we love on her.
Kate has long loved the brand Self Portrait and has frequently been photographed in looks by the company.
Interestingly, she’ll frequently have pieces altered for modesty, particularly if a neckline is too low.
However, for this white dress, she clearly chose to rock the thigh-high slit.
It’s a great choice for a red carpet.
The event centered around the real street cat, whose name was indeed Bob.
Catherine got to greet the famous cat, who was humorously ambivalent about the big moment.
The event took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Her gown was a black, tiered, off-the-shoulder look that cinched at the waist with a black band.
Kate stayed monochromatic by carrying a black clutch.
She wore dangly, statement earrings and pulled her hair back in an updo.
“Holy glamour,” one persontweeted.
“Kate … gorgeous as usual.
She is a treat for the eyes and sweet to boot,” anotheradded.
This wouldn’t be the last time we’d see this dress, though.
Surprisingly though, Kate’s dress actually sparked some controversy.
To be fair, though, royals rarely take sides in public issues such as these.
And perhaps Kate gave a nod to these movements by wearing the black waistband and carrying the black clutch.
Catherine’s jewelry was especially significant at this event too.
She wore a diamond bracelet from the late Queen Elizabeth II’s private collection of jewelry.
She also wore large diamond and pearl earrings that had once belonged to her mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
for give the earrings some attention, Catherine wore her hair pulled back in a chignon.
Kate’s jewelry was also notable with this look.
The dress was also designed to feature hibiscus flowers, a signature flower of Malaysia.
And likely, she picked the dress because she looks amazing in it and it’s a great gown.
The dress was also specifically designed with the James Bond premiere in mind.
“Creating a collection of Bond-inspired gowns in collaboration with EON Productions has been incredible.”
Catherine accessorized by wearing a pair of Kiki McDonough earrings, which were also recycled.
She had worn them to the wedding of her sister, Pippa Middleton in 2017.
AsVoguenotes, guests were asked to “consider the environment when choosing their outfit.”
William re-wore a velvet green tuxedo jacket with a turtleneck to follow suit.
So the two of them set a good example of re-wearing looks, even for major events.
The dress featured an off-the-shoulder cut, and Catherine kept her accessories to a minimum.
The look was a huge hit.
The column shape was a distinct departure from the flowing gowns that she had previously favored.
Arguably, Kate was modernizing the royal presence on the red carpet.
However, the outfit also had nostalgic roots in royal history.
The form-fitting dress featured an off-the-shoulder cut, and the green was an obvious nod to environmental health.
While the dress was an even more bold departure from her previous looks, it was a success.
“To do something so unexpected and carry it off, it was such an amazing fashion moment.”
Catherine accessorized the minimal look with maximalist pieces.
She chose to wear glittering, gold shoes, which added dazzle.
But it was her jewelry that was perhaps the biggest statement.
Kate paired the necklace with emerald and diamond earrings by Asprey.
It was a home run.
They were also there to thank essential workers who served people during the coronavirus pandemic.
She wore a black and white frock by Alessandra Rich, a long-time favorite designer of hers.
Rich herself has spoken up about the influence that Kate has had on her brand.
“I am super grateful,” the Italian designer told The Telegraph (viaExpress).
Obviously, it’s a symbiotic relationship, since Catherine looks great in these looks.
People instantly recognized her recycled white gown from Alexander McQueen, which she wore in 2019.
The dress was altered on the shoulder.
Kate added a jolt of sex appeal to the outfit by wearing long, sleek opera gloves.
She carried a black clutch and wore dangling, opulent earrings from Zara.
It was the opera gloves that completely revamped the look.
“They turn any event into an occasion and a dress into a statement.”
In an era of recycling outfits, the opera gloves were a stroke of genius.
