When you think of the Princess of Wales and her astounding wardrobe, classic, chic, and stylish instantly come to mind. But dramatic? Not really. Kate's outfits are always timeless and carry her through the seasons, and she brings her favourite pieces back, year after year. Periodically, though, she will wear something extra special - like her golden dress she stepped out in at the Bond premiere in 2021 (more on that later).
But we think her most dramatic dress by far has to be the billowing green style she rocked on the royal tour of the Caribbean in 2022. Looking like a Disney princess in her racing green frock by royally-loved brand Jenny Packham, Kate's glittering dress was brimming with fairytale energy.

Kate's golden girl moment
Another show-stopping moment for her Royal Highness was when she wore another Jenny Packham gown in 2021, to the World Premiere of the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die.

The dress also boasted a plunging neckline, something the royal hadn't embraced before.

Jenny Packham made Kate's custom style a part of her ongoing collection quickly, and the dress now comes in green and red colorways.
