Princess Kate made a dazzling appearance at Windsor Castle during a state banquet honoring the Sultan of Oman. The Princess of Wales turned heads in a vibrant yellow Elie Saab gown featuring a keyhole neckline, a braided collar, and a flowing sheer cape.
She completed the glamorous look with Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, a historic royal piece featuring diamond-encrusted arches and 19 dangling pearls. Originally commissioned for Queen Mary in 1913, the tiara has become one of Kate's favorite choices for formal royal occasions.
A gold clutch and matching pumps added the finishing touches to her elegant ensemble.
Princess Kate Dazzles in Princess Diana's Favorite Tiara
The Lover's Knot Tiara was famously one of Princess Diana's favorite royal jewels, as reported by Elle. Diana last wore the piece in 1991, before Kate brought it back into the spotlight in 2015.
For the banquet, Kate also wore the Greville diamond earrings and Queen Mary's diamond choker bracelet, along with the sash, star, and insignia of the Royal Victorian Order.
The glamorous evening concluded the first day of the Sultan's three-day state visit, with Kate attending alongside Prince William.

Earlier that day, the Princess of Wales stepped out in a completely different yet equally sophisticated look for the Sultan's formal reception.
The 44-year-old wore a custom dark green Alexander McQueen coat over a black lace turtleneck, accessorizing with a matching Juliette Botterill fascinator and a quilted Chanel flap bag.
According to Page Six, Kate also wore the historic Queen Alexandra Three Feathers Brooch, adorned with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The piece featured its detachable emerald pendant for the occasion.
The Fascinating History Behind Kate's Royal Brooch
The Queen Alexandra Three Feathers Brooch dates back to 1863, when it was created by royal jeweler Garrard and presented to Queen Alexandra as a wedding gift from the Ladies of North Wales.
The historic piece features three ostrich feathers and the motto "I serve."
Traditionally associated with the Princess of Wales, the brooch has been worn by several royal women over the generations, including Queen Mary, Princess Diana, and Queen Camilla.
The versatile jewel can also be worn as a necklace, a styling choice famously embraced by Princess Diana.
