Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge hit the red carpet for the premiere of Steven Spielberg’s latest film “War Horse” at London’s Leicester Square on a rainy Sunday night.
Prince William, always the gentleman that he is, held an umbrella for his wife. Not only did that protect Kate from the cold rain but it also framed how beautiful she looked in this Temperley London black lace gown:

Yes, this look is conservative and what we always see from Kate Middleton, but she always manages to look absolutely stunning in it. That’s not so easy considering how aging and boring having to look prim and proper all the time can be.
And like Taylor Swift who always prefers and always pulls off the princess-y look, Kate Middleton’s traditional style is what works for her and needs no fixing because it ain’t broke.
We also love that Kate Middleton used the same Pretty Ballerina black velvet clutch we spotted on her when she attended The Sun Military Awards. This time, she matched it with a slim black velvet belt and reportedly also wore black velvet-y suede pumps from Jimmy Choo:

We have a feeling that this Temperley London dress is going to be in great demand or, at the very least, there are going to be copies of it.
If you’re in line for either the original dress or knockoff version but need to have it NOW, satiate your need in the meantime with these lovely lookalikes from Tadashi Shoji that you can find on Nordstrom:
