Oh Kate, you certainly know how to keep myself and the fashion media on their toes… Just as I was awaiting you arriving at the coronation in Alexander McQueen or Catherine Walker, you decide to wear Jenny Packham (who is incidentally the sister of Chris Packham) to the Buckingham Palace lunch. 

Kate looked incredibly elegant in a chic Jenny Packham dress with contrast black detailing around the waist and neckline. It was very ‘Kate,’ as in low-key but stylish, however I was most impressed with her Aquazzura heels. However, if you think these shoes look very familiar from a royal point of view you would be correct!

Kate Middleton is not the only fan of Aquazzura as Meghan Markle has worn their shoes on many occasions such as for her first solo royal engagement, where she wore the ‘Deneuve’ heels. Meghan also chose the Matilde heels for her engagement photo call, and then wore white Aquazzura shoes for her wedding reception.

Now back to Kate Middleton and Jenny Packham. I am personally a HUGE fan of Jenny Packham as her dresses are so glamorous, but at the same time have a timeless quality to them.

One of my favourite Kate Middleton Jenny Packham dresses she has worn is the gown she wore to the No Time To Die premiere in 2021.

The dress was covered in gold sequins and featured a floor-length cape.

As well as wearing Jenny Packham for evening occasions, Kate also chose to wear the designer when she made her first public appearances after giving birth to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Another of my all-time favourite Kate Middleton/Jenny Packham dresses is the one she chose to wear to ARK (Absolute Return for Kid) 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner in 2011. It was pale pink in colour and again covered in embellishments, this time silver ones.
