Kate Middleton Wears Yellow Elie Saab Gown and Lover's Knot Tiara at Royal Banquet
On October 20, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a royal state banquet at Windsor Castle honoring the Sultan of Oman and UK-Oman relations. Kate wore a butter-yellow Elie Saab gown featuring a braided neckline, keyhole detail, and flowing skirt, paired with Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara, previously worn by Princess Diana.
