For her state banquet gown, Kate chose a dark red Givenchy evening gown designed by Sarah Burton, who also designed the princess's wedding dress. Kate and William shared their looks ahead of the state banquet on social media, captioning a photo, "Ready for what promises to be a wonderful State Banquet this evening in Windsor."

Kate Middleton's latest look features a fascinating tie to her wedding dress —and Meghan Markle's. On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales stepped out at Buckingham Palace wearing a caped Givenchy gown designed by the label's newest creative director, Sarah Burton.

Kate Middleton attended the French State Banquet after two whole years in a red Givenchy dress, with Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara.
