The Princess of Wales was a vision of grace and beauty on 3 December as she stepped out at St George's Hall at Windsor Castle for a state banquet - wearing a tiara we haven't seen in 20 years. The Princess, 43, joined her husband, Prince William , in supporting King Charles and Queen Camilla as they welcomed the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife, Elke Büdenbender, to the UK for a state visit lasting from 3 to 5 December, with the banquet providing Kate with a sartorial playground.

Kate oozed glamour in a blue sequin Jenny Packham gown with dramatic cape detail. The sequins giving a nod to the festive time of year, but it was her headwear that really, well, turned heads!
