Kate Middleton made headlines on Tuesday for her stunning dress at the premiere of “No Time to Die,” and while the gown looked great in its own right, it followed a common trend of the Duchess’ by paying homage to a late royal.
Middleton, 39, has become known for occasionally channeling her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during public outings by subtly recreating some of Diana’s looks from red carpets, official royal business and the like.
Her getup for the premiere of the latest James Bond flick was no exception to the trend.
For the star-studded event, Middleton donned a golden Jenny Packham gown with a floor-length cape and detailing drawing the eye to the center of the dress.

She accessorized the ensemble with earrings from London-based company O’Nitaa and wore her hair in an intricate updo.
In 1985, Diana, who died when Middleton’s husband Prince William was just 15 years old, attended the premiere of another popular Bond flick: “A View to a Kill.”
