At the 2015 world premiere of the James Bond film Spectre, Kate Middleton showcased one of her more daring fashion choices — at least by royal standards — while walking the red carpet alongside Prince William and Prince Harry.
Known for her elegant, often modest style, the Duchess of Cambridge surprised fashion watchers by pairing a sheer Jenny Packham gown with glittering Jimmy Choo “Vamp” platform heels, effortlessly blending regal sophistication with a touch of red-carpet glamour.

The Duchess may look all covered up at first glance, but a closer look reveals that her dress is pretty sheer. It was lined with a halter at the front, but that’s it. The back of the dress was bare, and Kate went sans-bra for the evening.

Kate’s dress and coordinating clutch are from Jenny Packham, her go-to designer. Adding to the elegance, the Duchess paired the look with Robinson Pelham jewelry and glittery silver Jimmy Choo “Vamp” platform heels. This further elongated her statuesque 5ft 8¾ (174.6 cm) frame and added extra height for the red carpet.

We also spotted this pair of Choos on her while pregnant with her baby number two. She gave birth to her second child, Princess Charlotte, on May 2, 2015.

Unsurprisingly, the printed dress saw a surge in orders soon after Her Highness debuted the designer’s creation.
