The Princess of Wales exuded regality at the state banquet for President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Her Royal Highness stunned in gold for the glittering affair at Windsor Castle.

Catherine, who is committed to supporting British craftsmanship and creativity, wore a couture gown by British designer Phillipa Lepley with a full-length, hand-embroidered gold Chantilly lace evening coat over a silk crepe gown.

The Princess' coat features hand-embroidered roses with couched gold cording, accented with French knots and satin-stitched blooms. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' mom completed her regal look with her go-to tiara, the Lover's Knot Tiara, and earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth. She also wore the Royal Family Order of King Charles III, the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II, the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, GCVO star and sash.
