A little over a month ago, the Princess of Wales memorably teamed up with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, in the most heartfelt way. The pair showcased their musical talents during a piano duet, which featured on Kate’s ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service, which aired on Christmas Eve 2025 on ITV.
Looking beautiful, the pair tenderly shared a special moment and looked so alike as they played the instrument. Ten-year-old Charlotte wore a collared knit, a plaid skirt by Boden, and a gold bow in her hair, and sat alongside her mother Kate, who wore a dazzling blue velvet dress.

Kate and Charlotte looked wonderful as they played the piano together
We couldn’t actually see the dress in full at the time, as the focus was primarily on Charlotte, but royal fashion account @katemiddletonstyled, which identifies the royal family’s stunning outfits, shared that Kate’s dress may have been designed by Ridley London. Known as the ‘Leonie’ dress, it is made in sumptuous silk velvet and features a round neck, which you can clearly see in the footage of Kate and Charlotte.
Kate’s dress is by Ridley London
The dress has 3/4 length sleeves ending in a ruffled cuff and has a fitted skirt flaring at the hips with two tiers and a slit up the middle of the skirt. The Instagram account, which boasts over 28,000 followers, remarked that they weren’t sure what Catherine was wearing at the time, but went on to state they were “pretty comfortable” that the Ridley London frock was the design in question.
Later, the account shared that the dress was actually not by Ridley London and specified this on their Instagram page.

Its emerald hue captivated onlookers and cemented the brand’s place in royal fashion circles at the time.

It’s clear that Kate loves luxe fabrics
Although The Vampire’s Wife dress was made with metallic gold lamé, it’s still a textured fabric, similar to the velvet style Kate wore at Christmas, cementing the fact that Kate likes to invest in unique fabrics for special occasions.
