Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted a dinner for 120 guests at St. James’s Palace. The event was to raise money for the National Memorial Arboretum, of which the Duke is patron.
I wasn’t able to find a picture of the gown in Jenny Packham’s current line. It could either be a custom piece or vintage. Above is a similar dress from Jenny Packham. It’s the ‘Red Flame One Shoulder Dress’ $2,130.
She coupled her beautiful dress with her Jimmy Choo ‘Vamp’ sandals in champagne glitter $750, her still unidentified diamond bracelet and a bright red poppy as a symbol of remembrance.
Kate’s hair was styled in a fresh new way. It was parted slightly off-center and pulled back on one side to expose an over sized diamond drop earring and left loose on the other.
Update 11/11/2011
Jenny Packham has confirmed via her Facebook page that Kate’s gown is a custom piece.
The earrings are silver 9ct hoops with crystal paste stones and hand set in London.

on a slightly different topic, looks like Kate has been borrowing her mother's clothes more than we might realise
