From a diplomatic dinner to a sentimental rewear, the Future Queen just gave a masterclass in royal power dressing.
PARIS — If there was ever a doubt about who holds the future of the Monarchy, Princess Catherine just silenced it without saying a word.
The Princess of Wales arrived at the British Embassy in Paris looking nothing short of ethereal, turning a standard diplomatic dinner into a global fashion moment. Draped in a floor-sweeping, ice-blue Jenny Packham gown, Catherine didn’t just sparkle—she literally lit up the room.

A Touching Tribute to Her Majesty But it wasn’t just the sequins and intricate floral embroidery that had insiders talking. In a move of pure class and subtle power, Kate accessorized her sheer illusion bodice with the Late Queen Elizabeth’s chandelier earrings and Queen Mary’s diamond bar choker.
“She wore the history of the firm on her wrists and ears,” one royal insider noted. “It was a quiet reminder of her place in the lineage.”
With her hair in a soft half-up style and platinum Oscar de la Renta pumps, she was the perfect counterpart to Prince William, who looked sharp in a classic tuxedo. Together, they projected an image of unbreakable unity and modern regality.
The “Thrifty” Princess Strikes Again Barely giving the world time to recover from her Paris slay, Catherine was back at Buckingham Palace for the 25th Anniversary of Place2Be. And in true “Kate style,” she pulled a fan-favorite from the archives.
Proving that true style is timeless, she rewore the vibrant blue Jenny Packham gown from her 2016 India Tour. But forget the shawl and the stiff updo of the past!
