The Princess of Wales looked exquisitely stunning as she braved the cold and rain on Wednesday evening, as she was pictured at the Royal Variety Performance 2025. Prince William's wife delighted royal fans from around the world in her glorious outfit, which consisted of a truly breathtaking green velvet, floor-length maxi dress by Talbot Runhof.
The figure-hugging style was so modern, yet classic in cut. The mother-of-three chose coordinating, shoulder-grazing earrings that sparkled as she walked, and of course, she wore her famous mane in a long and flowing style that was lightly curled. We loved her makeup, which was flawlessly natural - the princess looked glowing.

The dazzling yearly event was hosted by comedian Jason Manford and, as always, started with the national anthem, before various acts took to the stage.

Kate's top five Royal Variety looks over the years
2023
Kate has attended the Royal Variety Performance six times since marrying Prince William. Her most recent look was two years ago in 2023. On 30 November that year, Kate memorably wowed in a petrol blue Safiyaa gown that featured a dazzling cape detail, full-length skirt, and figure-skimming bodice. Ever the queen of accessorising, she added J.Crew earrings and a Jenny Packham clutch.
