Believe it or not, Kate Middleton has only worn this turquoise Jenny Packham gown once before, but it's so glamorous, it's become ingrained in our minds as a favorite. Kate slipped into the number and tied her hair up for an Olympic concert at Royal Albert Hall in May 2012, but when she arrived to the Tusk Conservation Awards by Prince William's side in 2018, she appeared possibly even more elegant and relaxed, her loose curls skimming the lace cap sleeves of her dress.

It's been six years, but Kate reminds us that at this time of year, an unexpected shade for the holiday season can be just what the doctor ordered. The icing on the cake? Kate accessorized with a pair of Queen Elizabeth's diamond chandelier earrings and stood tall in metallic Jimmy Choo platforms, completing the look with what is truly the most perfectly colored clutch. Read on to see all the pics of Will and Kate, then shop a similar gown if you're about to go black tie.
