Usually, the first thing we notice about Kate Middleton's outfit is her dress - has she worn it before? Is it by one of her favorite designers? But at the duchess's first state dinner, which honored Chinese President Xi Jinping, we were wide-eyed by her regal jewels, too - all of which were highly anticipated for the evening, especially since Kate was recently given The Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth ll, a diamond-finished yellow badge pinned beneath the left shoulder.
Kate swept her hair up to reveal chandelier earrings that perfectly played up her pearl-embellished Papyrus tiara, which dates back to 1923 and is made by Garrard. It's not the first time the duchess has showed off the Queen Mother-owned Lotus piece, but it just might be the best.
Appropriately, Kate chose a sequin-embroidered red Jenny Packham gown, paying homage to China's flag. Read on for a look at her ornate ensemble, which is the epitome of bold elegance.
