On 22 September 2026, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Royal Film Performance world premiere of Digger at ODEON Luxe in Leicester Square, London, in support of the Film and TV Charity. The Prince and Princess last attended the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022. They were reunited with their friend, Tom Cruise, who stars in the film.
The premiere was hosted by Warner Bros. Pictures and the Film and TV Charity, and was the 73rd Royal Film Performance delivered by the charity in its more than 100-year history. The event showcases a major film premiere and is attended by members of the British royal family. Proceeds from the event help the charity provide financial support to people working in the film, television and cinema industries.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a new purple floor-skimming dress by designer Jenny Packham. She accessorised with the Collingwood Pearl Earrings and Queen Mother's Amethyst Necklace, which was a wedding gift from Queen Alexandra in 1923 but was first publicly photographed almost 90 years later on Queen Camilla. Queen Camilla wore the necklace to the Skyfall premiere in 2012.
I normally love when Kate goes all in on red carpet occasions, but I am less convinced this time. The dress looks a bit strange around the shoulder area, there seems to be too much fabric? I love the backside and the decolletage though and the clutch and shoes. The jewels are nice, but would be better worn separately. So, overall not her best red carpet look, but in the end it is still glamorous and she looks great.
ReplyDeleteMore than a state banquet was I in need of a real glamorous red carpet event. And this event didn't disapoint. Catherine looked sensational: the dress, her hair, jewelry. And Tom Cruise the perfect gentleman. The photo of Catherine with this lovely floating dress being assisted by Tom is a real red carpet moment.
ReplyDeleteSomehow the dress is too 'big' for Kate. While it's ok, I think it would have looked better on a more voluptuous woman. She and the dress are not a match. - Ellie
