Hey there! Last night, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, turned heads in a breathtaking bespoke Alexander McQueen gown paired with Princess Diana’s iconic Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara at a State Banquet held at Buckingham Palace. Now, while many of us thought she looked absolutely stunning, some folks weren’t as impressed, criticizing her dress as resembling an "80’s prom gown." Let’s dive into what happened!
Take a look at what some people had to say. One person tweeted, “That dress was ghastly like an old prom gown in the 80s and the material looked like a curtain.” Another chimed in, “I’m sorry, Kate, but this dress is a long way from your best (nice bling though!).” Even another commenter remarked, “I don’t think I’m digging the fabric on this dress. Who let my girl out like this?! But honestly, as long as Kate is comfortable and happy in it then [whatever].”
Kate's Look at the State Banquet
Let’s break down what Kate wore for the State Banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 23, an event held to welcome King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands to England. Kate accessorized her striking blue gown with none other than Princess Diana’s cherished diamond and pearl tiara. She also donned Queen Alexandra’s wedding necklace, a piece crafted way back in 1860, which has graced the necks of both The Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth. To top it all off, she pinned the Royal Family Order brooch on the left side of her dress, adding a touch of royal elegance.

A Look Back at Kate's Tiara Choices
Now, the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara is no stranger to Kate’s royal wardrobe. She last wore this stunning piece back in December 2017 during the annual winter party at Buckingham Palace. She also donned it in July 2017 for a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in honor of the Spanish royals, King Felipe and Queen Letizia. Plus, she wore it twice in December during Diplomatic Receptions at Buckingham Palace in 2016 and 2015. In the past, Kate has also dazzled in the Cartier Halo Scroll Tiara at her 2011 royal wedding to Prince William and the Lotus Flower Tiara at a Diplomatic Reception in 2013 and a State Banquet in 2015.
Though opinions may vary, one thing’s for sure — Kate Middleton continues to leave a lasting impression on the world with her impeccable style. Whether it's the gown or the tiara, she remains a timeless style icon to us all!
