Kate, the Princess of Wales, turned heads Tuesday night in a red gown and tiara once owned by the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother while attending an event at Buckingham Palace.
Kate was spotted at a reception for members of the Diplomatic Corps wearing a red Jenny Packham gown, the famed Lotus Flower Tiara, the Royal Victorian Order and Royal Family order, and the late Queen Elizabeth II’s earrings.
Kate previously wore the tiara during a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in 2015.
The Lotus Flower Tiara features an art deco design and is encrusted with diamonds and pearls.
The reception typically takes place annually. According to the palace, the event ‘celebrates the presence in London of one of the largest Diplomatic Corps in the world and will see Their Majesties The King and Queen Consort meet representatives of countries accredited to the Court of St. James.’
The last reception for the Diplomatic Corps was hosted by Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace in December 2019.
