Kate Middleton attended the Royal Variety Performance with earrings that reminded everyone of Queen Elizabeth. The Princess of Wales’ look was all about thoughtful styling. She arrived at the Royal Albert Hall with Prince William for the annual fundraiser, choosing a regal velvet gown and a meaningful piece from the royal vault. The message? Modern glamor can always use a touch of history.
Kate Middleton brings back Queen Elizabeth’s earrings for Royal Variety Performance
For the Royal Variety Performance in London, Kate Middleton offered a sweet nod to late Queen Elizabeth II by wearing her earrings. Middleton chose a deep green Talbot Runhof dress. She paired it with diamond earrings that the late queen once wore.
The velvet gown did the heavy lifting. It was cut from dark green velvet, featuring a sharp V neckline, cap sleeves, and a fitted waist that dropped into a skirt. Moreover, the fabric’s tone held depth and looked elegant under the lights.
Middleton paired the dress with matching forest-green Manolo Blahnik pumps that kept the line long and sophisticated. Besides, a crystal Jenny Packham clutch added a hint of sparkle without overshadowing the luxurious outfit.
The earrings, however, were the star of the show. Middleton brought back the Greville Chandelier earrings — a platinum-and-diamond design from the early 20th century that passed from Dame Margaret Greville to the Queen Mother and then to Queen Elizabeth II. They had an Art Deco feel about them, both visually and historically.
Middleton kept her hair and makeup familiar for the Variety Royal Performance. She styled her hair in waves, while her bronzed cheeks and neutral lips gave her the kind of soft finish that suits her. However, a half-up half-down hairdo or a low bun would have showcased the earrings better.
Besides, the footwear kept things safe — a silver sandal to match the clutch could have lifted the look even further without forcing the princess out of her comfort zone. Still, as a fashion moment, Kate Middleton’s velvet gown and Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond earrings worked perfectly well for the Variety Royal Performance.
