Completing her look with a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, the Princess put forward her fashion A-game at the key event.

According to a fashion expert, Kate sent a message of bravery and freedom to the world.

Fashion expert Lauren Bulla told The Express, “Though you can’t see the full outfit, she’s clearly chosen a festive colour in tune with the holiday season.

“Red is a colour that not only represents holiday cheer but also symbolises courage, bravery, and joy," the expert added.

"The pattern appears to be a combination of polka-dot and floral design, playing into her proclivity for light-touch femininity, and elegance - ever present across her ensembles.

“She is also wearing a pair of quintessential dangle Van Cleef & Arpels earrings in the maison’s iconic Alhambra motif, which represent luck. This pared-back jewellery option shines with a quieter nod to luxury.

“Literally tied together with a lavallière loose neckline bow, the dress is not only feminine and elegant, but this detail was a common styling accessory amongst intellectuals, signalling back to the meaning of her red ensemble - bravery and freedom.”
