Kate in classic style for Festival of Remembrance

9/11/2019

The Festival commemorates all those who have lost their lives in conflicts and it is usually attended by the Royal Family.  It is organized by the Royal British Legion and is held every year on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.

William and Kate joined the Queen, and other senior members of the Royal Family at London's Royal Albert Hall for the British Legion's traditional televised service.

The Duchess premiered a long sleeve dress with an a-line skirt falling just below the knee.  The dress features a wide bateau neckline and a waist defined with a black velvet band.

The designer is currently unknown but it's been suggested it could be a Jenny Packham creation because the silhouette appears to be identical to the black Jenny Packham 'silver fern' dress Kate wore to a State reception during the royal tour of New Zealand in 2014.

The Duchess carried a new black velvet minaudière this evening from Alexander McQueen.

The custom clutch combines the body of the designer's Beetle Box clutch and the jewel clasp seen on the Mini Crystal-Embellished Leather Bag.

Kate wore her acorn brooch topped with three paper poppies - possibly one for each of her great-great uncles who were killed in the Great War.

This is the fifth consecutive year Kate has attended the performance. Below we see her in 2015 wearing a black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. In 2016 she wore the Temperley London 'Callas' evening coat and in 2017 she debuted a custom Catherine Walker coat. Last year she steeped out in a black Roland Mouret asymmetric neck dress.

Could this dress be the Jenny Packham one she wore in 2014 but with the silver fern removed from the shoulder?

I like the purse and the sparkly headband. They uplift the overall outfit, which is naturally sombre to reflect the occasion.

Like the neckline of this dress. Don't like the headband. Seems too heavy vs the fabric of her dress. The Jimmy Choo velvet shoes are nice as is the AM clutch with the fancy jewel clasp.

I love this neckline and the dress is very class and elegant and fits her well. Not a fan of the headband at all...but I do love it being at such an accessible price point.

I love this whole look, especially the little purse! I would like to know the material of the dress because it hangs beautifully.

A lovely demure look. The neckline is very flattering. The dress fits perfectly. Love the JC shoes, but the crystal top leather clutch is divine!. The pearl and diamond drop earrings are the perfect finishing touch. Not a fan of the headband.

Love Catherine’s outfit. Is elegant, classic and most importantly fits perfectly to her body. I just love the headband and clutch gave the outfit a special touch.
