Last week, we were treated to a rare red carpet appearance by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and now we're spoiled with a glam showing courtesy of Kate Middleton and Prince William. The couple arrived at the Royal Variety Performance at Royal Albert Hall in London, and they dressed to the nines for the occasion.
The Duchess of Cambridge rewore her green Jenny Packham gown that we first saw on her tour of Pakistan in 2019, while the duke complemented her emerald dress with a jewel-tone velvet blazer. Middleton's intricate dress is made with hundreds of sequins and definitely turned heads on the red carpet. Sequins, of course, are a trend that comes back with a vengeance every holiday party season, so I rounded up some of my favorite ways to wear them below.
