We learned of her visit to a theatre in Eon, London at 2.30pm through this post. It suggests Kensington Palace may be trying new initiatives with the princess, although their success remains uncertain. Looking back on 2024, it has been a wild year for the royal family, from unexpected revelations to heartfelt moments. Catherine's involvement in planning a major event suggests she is slowly returning to her royal duties despite her health struggles. She is expected to attend her first state banquet at Buckingham Palace this month.
Looking back, one of her most memorable appearances was a formal dinner for the Tusk Foundation. At the event, she put on a new “Yummy Mummy” look, making a statement in a stunning floor-length Jenny Packham gown adorned with silver sequins. The dress featured half-sleeves and a loose bodice that gently hugged the hem. Catherine’s look hid any trace of her baby weight. The dress also included silk panels for modesty. She chose not to bring Prince George along for the outing, who stayed home.
For the event, she wore previously seen silver Jimmy Choo sandals and a diamond bracelet. Her makeup remained light and natural, while her hair was styled in her signature waves. Notably, her hair looked darker and possibly cropped compared to her previous official appearance. Following the outing, several media outlets criticized her hair, suggesting products to manage its appearance. Despite expecting her second child, she wore a pre-pregnancy favorite during her New York tour in December 2014.
Wearing another stunning Jenny Packham dress at a charity gala, Catherine previously wore this elegant navy design in 2013. For a Special Olympics concert in May 2012, she opted for a vibrant turquoise Jenny Packham dress, making a bold fashion choice. Another standout outfit was a pastel Alexander McQueen dress at a March event in Los Angeles, which showcased Hollywood glamour with a tight waist and soft pleats.
She also made a subtle appearance in a black lace Diane von Furstenberg dress at the Royal Variety Performance shortly after announcing her second pregnancy, complete with stylish accessories. Catherine's love affair with the Alice Temperley dress has seen her wear it three times, most recently at a film screening in December 2013. Finally, in September 2012, she stunned in a striking white and gold Alexander McQueen gown at a formal dinner with the Malaysian royal family.
