The Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in a tiara that once belonged to Princess Diana as she arrived for a glittering Buckingham Palace reception on Tuesday night.
Kate, 36, joined husband Prince William, 36, and hundreds of esteemed guests for the Queen's the Diplomatic Reception, an annual white tie affair and one of the highlights of the royal calendar.
Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex did not attend as they were busy with a charity carol concert elsewhere in London.
Though just a glimpse of Kate's outfit could be seen through the car window as she arrived, the duchess soon unveiled a sparkling white gown with metallic silver detailing on the shoulders.
She plumped for a pair of favourite pearl drop earrings and finished the look with the stunning Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara - a piece that she has worn on a number of previous occasions.

KATE'S TIARA TRIBUTE TO HER LATE MOTHER-IN-LAW

The Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara is the one worn by the Duchess of Cambridge most frequently - and for very sentimental reasons.
The tiara was made by Royal jewellers Garrard in 1914 to Queen Mary's personal design, from pearls and diamonds already in her family's possession.
It was a copy of one owned by her grandmother, Princess Augusta of Hesse, who married the first Duke of Cambridge, seventh son of King George III, in 1818.
In her will Queen Mary left the tiara to to the Queen who wore it frequently, including at an evening event in 1955.
In 1981 she gave it as a wedding present to Prince William's mother, Diana, who wore it for the first time at the state opening of parliament that November.
Diana also wore the tiara in 1985 on an official visit to Washington with Prince Charles.
And since her death the glistening head piece has been worn by the Duchess of Cambridge who was most recently spotted wearing it at the state dinner during Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI's visit in 2017.
It was also seen on Kate at last year's Diplomatic Reception.
Kate also wore the tiara to the Chinese state banquet in 2015, and the Spanish state banquet and the Diplomatic Reception last year.
She most recently wore the piece to the state banquet held in honour of Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in October.
Kate's husband Prince William, 36, looked dapper in white tie and appeared in good spirits as he arrived alongside his wife.
It marks the second appearance for the busy royal couple today. Earlier they threw open the doors at Kensington Palace to welcome the families of RAF servicemen and women currently deployed overseas.

The white tie Diplomatic Reception is the main social event of the year in London for the diplomatic community and reflects the Queen’s importance in terms of the UK’s international relations.
It is also the largest reception held at Buckingham Palace, requiring hours of intricate planning by the Master of the Household and the Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps, as well as the commandeering of almost every member of waiting staff.
More than 1,000 people from around 130 countries, including members of the British government, past Prime Ministers and the Archbishops of Canterbury and York attend the gathering.
Most notable, however, are the many hundreds of ambassadors and embassy staff officially accredited to the Court of St James, often in brilliantly coloured and eye-catching national dress.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
