Kate Middleton Sparkles In A Gorgeous Beaded Gown At Charity Gala

Kate Middleton surprised royals fans when she held a gala dinner at Buckingham Palace in celebration of the 25th anniversary for her patronage Place2Be on March 9. For the occasion, she wore a sapphire blue embellished Jenny Packham gown, Jimmy Choo heels and coordinating blue crystal and pearl earrings from Erdem.

Her earrings were stunning, thanks to the blue crystals and pearls arranged in a swirling design to mimic dainty flowers. The different colours of the earrings played off the rich embroidery in her gown. The sparklers also have a Canadian connection, as fashion designer Erdem Moralıoğlu was born in Montreal. Kate has worn the London-based designer on a number of occasions, including another pair of earrings to the Royal Variety Performance in London last November. -Heather Cichowski, Hello!
