Kate Middleton used her favorite designer, Jenny Packham
To help dress her for the exciting red carpet event, Kate enlisted the help of her favorite designer, Jenny Packham.
Packham’s designs have been a go-to for the Duchess of Cambridge for many years. The British fashion designer was primarily known for her bridal gowns. Her clothing has since evolved into ready-to-wear and couture pieces.
Kate has worn both custom pieces and ready-to-wear designs from Packham over the years. These included a blue polka dot dress she wore outside the hospital after delivering her son Prince George in 2013. She also wore a buttery yellow dress after the birth of her daughter Charlotte in 2015.
The Duchess opted for Packham’s design in 2012 at the Greatest Team Rises event. She wore a bespoke version of Jenny Packham’s ‘Aspen’ gown, made of silk chiffon, with an ornately embellished waist.
