Kate is Sleek Sophistication in Jenny P for 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala at KP


I am listening to Handel's "Zadok the Priest" (God Save the King) which is used at coronation ceremonies, while I write this blog post. Still on my high from the last post of the historic and beautiful christening photos released by the palace today. See post here if you missed it. My brother can't stand Handel, I say God bless the man.
But, you came here to read about Kate, and I am giddy with excitement to tell you that she stunned tonight at KP in an ink blue Jenny Packham. Isn't it funny that in the last 48 hours Kate has kind of proved yet again how ordered her fashion choices are? For formal events of historical significance she almost universally opts for McQueen. To sexily dazzle at formal evening events, it's our favorite girl, Jenny P who wins the night. (Not hard to understand, this dress is drool worthy.) We can bet on Emilia Wickstead, Max Mara, and Co. for Kate's coat dress needs.
Tonight was the 100 Women in Hedge Funds partay, benefiting Action on Addiction, which Kate and William attended the year before last, as well. Remember the red Beulah? William stayed home tonight with Georgie. Kate commented that the little prince was asleep when she left. Jenny Packham is the master (mistress?) at bringing these sleek and sophisticated looks together. Fitted and flattering, but with beautiful, soft, and feminine elements, like this almost off-the-shoulder top, and the delicate overlay of the skirt.
(Honestly, it is so dark blue and the lighting is not really great, I have run some of these photos through a little photo shop to change the shadowing and give us more dress detail. I am no expert, nor did I spend much time, but I think it helps.) In the picture above--with a little ham-handed photoshop from yours truly--we can see the layers a little better.Jenny P's fashion hits have usually been very light or colorful. The pale pink ARK dress, the deep teal Our Greatest Team Rises dress, the shimmering silver on-shoulder, and the sparkling Tusk Trust. Tonight was a first in terms of color for her, but obviously Jenny P retained many of her best trademarks.
This was not my favorite Jenny P that Kate has worn, but that is not to say I didn't love it; I did. It will be almost impossible to outdo that teal dress. Tonight's dress was simple and ridiculously elegant. A wonderful choice in color change, too, after yesterday's profusion of whites and creams. The Mirror has some great photos with better lighting. Check them out here. I wish we had a better view of the ring she is wearing on her right hand... This has been a packed and fantastic two days. Looking forward to seeing more of Kate very soon!
