The Princess of Wales turned heads on Wednesday evening as she stepped out in a brand new dress and a new tiara for the German state banquet. Princess Catherine wowed fans as she sported the new tiara, which was Queen Victoria’s Oriental Circlet Tiara.
The glittering piece, featuring diamonds and rubies, was designed for Victoria by her German-born husband, Prince Albert, in 1853, in what is thought to have been a thoughtful tribute by the future Queen to the King’s guests. Catherine glittered in a periwinkle blue, floor-length sequined gown with an asymmetric neckline and flowing cape shoulder detail by Jenny Packham for the white tie celebration.
She also wore the late Queen’s earrings, the Royal Family Order and the GCVO Sash and Star.
Catherine’s hair was down and styled in her signature waves and royal fans were quick to spot the genius way in which she had secured the new tiara in place.
It appeared the princess’s hair was twisted and wrapped around the back of the tiara to hold it securely on top of her head.
Royal fans loved seeing the princess in a new tiara and took to social media to express their jubilation.
