The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the second Earthshot Prize awards this evening at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway. It was the pinnacle event of their 3-day visit to Boston.
The Princess looked glamorous as she stepped out on the green carpet in a rented Solace London 'Sabina' dress.
It was reportedly hired from HURR in London starting from £74. The 'Sabina' is a floor length modern gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and a body-conscious fit.
Kate complemented the bright green gown with emerald jewelry.
For the first time, she wore Queen Mary's Art Deco Emerald & Diamond Choker.
The choker was created for Queen Mary in the Art Deco style by Garrard in 1921 from a gift of emeralds from the Ladies of India in 1911.
It coordinates with the larger heirloom Cambridge Emerald Parure, with which it was often paired.
The necklace was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 but she did not prefer the shortened style. She passed it along to Diana, Princess of Wales as a wedding gift, and it become one of Diana's signature pieces of jewelry.
On one occasion she got creative and wore the necklace as a bandeau. Upon Diana’s death in 1997 the necklace was returned to the Queen.
Tonight, the current Princess of Wales coordinated it with a new pair of emerald earrings.
They are the Asprey London Emerald and Diamond Halo Earrings mounted in platinum ($11,375).
Kate completed the look with her Cinderella-inspired Gianvito Rossi 'Rania 105' Pumps.

From there, the Prince and Princess traveled to neighboring Chelsea to visit Roca Inc, a non-profit organization focusing on high-risk young people aged 16-24 years old.

Kate wore an Alexander McQueen pant suit with a tonal turtleneck sweater and croc-embossed leather belt.
There's some debate if it is the navy suit she wore for an audience with the Royal Navy Ship's Company of HMS Glasgow.
Some think it may be a new suit in the amethyst colourway (as suggested by @MiddletonMaven), but I suspect we may have incorrectly labelled the color when Kate first wore it and assumed it was navy.
ID UPDATE (21 Feb 2023): The navy sweater was identified when Kate wore it again for a Shrove Tuesday engagement at a nursing home. It is the Ralph Lauren Collection Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater ($1,090) as identified by Middleton Maven.
On her feet were the Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Pumps in Navy Suede.
