Kate Middleton had a show-stopping tiara moment at a glittering state banquet last night!
Kate looked every inch the Disney princess in the diamond headpiece and the flowing lemon-yellow gown as she and the other royals sat down to dinner with the Sultan of Oman at Windsor Castle.
The yellow dress brought to mind Belle’s iconic gown from Beauty and the Beast.
The color was an unexpected choice for the Princess of Wales, who usually favors rich jewel tones for the banquets that mark state visits.
The $6,500 pleated yellow dress is by Elie Saab and features a sheer cape and a keyhole detail at the neckline.

Last night’s tiara was, however, a familiar one, as it is the tiara most often seen on Kate at such events. We were a little disappointed that Kate didn’t choose to break out a lesser-seen tiara for the Oman state visit, such as the delicate Lotus Flower or the simple diamond headband that constitutes the Cartier Scroll (which Kate wore at her wedding to Prince William in 2011.)
But we’re not complaining, as the Cambridge Lovers’ Knot is so beautiful and was a huge favorite of Princess Diana‘s as well. The late Diana wore it so much that it became part of her signature look.
It’s also the tiara that Kate wore for the Nigerian state visit in March.
Kate finished off her Oman state visit look with diamond earrings and a diamond bracelet that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile Queen Camilla wore a gown in a deep shade of royal blue, and she wore one of the late queen’s favorite tiaras: the sparkling Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Camilla and King Charles III were pictured making their entrance into the glowing banquet hall at Windsor Castle in honor of Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, with Kate and Prince William following behind.

It was pouring rain as the royals welcomed the sultan to Windsor Castle and took part in a traditional carriage procession. Kate was pictured in a bottle-green coat that featured a very significant accessory: the diamond and emerald Queen Alexandra Three Feathers brooch, which has been worn by generations of Princesses of Wales for 163 years.
By the time the royals had moved inside the castle for lunch Kate had ditched her Alexander McQueen coat and black lace blouse, and had changed into a long forest green turtleneck dress by Norma Kamali, which featured a matching leather belt.
She and the other royals accompanied the sultan to the Green Drawing Room where he was shown some of the items in the royal collection that have a historic link to Oman.
A video of preparations for the state banquet that evening was posted to the royals’ Instagram account, where places had been set for 160 guests amid towering candelabra and overflowing floral centrepieces.T
The BBC reports that “even the surface of the salt had an imprint of the cypher of King Charles.”
The menu included croute of Scottish langoustine and Cornish crab, roast pheasant, stuffed cabbage and braised fondant potatoes, and baked Alaska with plum from the Balmoral estate and ice-cream that was flavored with honey from the grounds of the castle, in which the guests had assembled by candelight.
