Kate Middleton knows how to make an impression.
The Princess of Wales stunned in a jaw-dropping red gown by Givenchy for a state banquet held at Windsor Castle on Tuesday night.
The royal accessorized with earrings from the late Queen Elizabeth’s collection, and donned Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot tiara ― marking the first time she’s worn a tiara in nearly two years, as pointed out by People magazine.
Kate attended the dinner alongside Prince William, as well as celebrity guests like Mick Jagger and Elton John.

The dinner was hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, as they kicked off their state visit to the U.K.
Both Kate and William greeted the Macrons earlier in the day when they touched down at London’s RAF Northolt air base.
The group was later joined by Charles and Camilla at Windsor, where they took horse-drawn carriages to Windsor Castle.
The royals later attended the banquet for the Macrons held at Windsor Castle, which was attended by 160 other guests, including Princess Anne and Prince Edward as well as their spouses.

Kate made headlines last week after opening up about her cancer recovery journey during a visit to Colchester Hospital in England.
“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” she shared.
“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,” the royal added. “And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”
