For tonight's event, Kate brought back the off-white Roland Mouret 'Lombard' gown which she previously wore in May 2012 to the Thirty Club dinner at Claridge's in London.

Kate accessorised with a striking statement necklace which is a costume piece from Zara.  The 'Sparkly Bead Crystal Necklace'  has a modest price tag of only £20.  It is still available at select stores but has sold out online. There are also a few popping up on eBay.

Kate's affinity for suede accessories was reaffirmed tonight when she choose to complete her outfit with a new pair of black suede pumps and clutch bag.  The clutch is the £495 Mulberry 'Bayswater' and is still available in a variety of colours and textures.  It is believed Kate first carried this clutch to last month's Remembrance Sunday service.

Kate's black suede pumps are by Prada. The Italian made round-toe heels feature leather insole and lining, suede leather outsole, low-cut vamp and 4 1/4 inch suede covered high heel. They are available for US$650 at Neiman Marcus.

Sadly, during the screening of the movie, news broke of the death of Nelson Mandela.  It was a poignant moment for the Duke and Duchess, and William made a brief statement after the movie and said "It was extremely sad and tragic news. "We were just reminded of what an
extraordinary and inspiring man Nelson Mandela was and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family right now."
