STUNNING! TOP 42 MOST GORGEOUS EVENING GOWNS OF CATHERINE, PRINCESS OF WALES!
As we know, Catherine, Princess of Wales, celebrated her 42nd birthday on 9 January. In honour of the occasion, this video features 42 of the Princess of Wales’ most gorgeous looks.
Before you see these 42 truly spectacular and memorable looks, it should be noted that it’s not the first year that Princess Catherine has appeared in public in marvellously beautiful outfits. The wife of William, Prince of Wales, has proven that she will look exquisite and glittering at any formal event.
Her Highness’s outfits at such events range from the black lace Temperley London dress she wore before the premiere of War Horse in 2012, to the unforgettable gold sequined Jenny Packham dress, a photo of which instantly went viral on the internet after the world premiere of the James Bond film No Time to Die in 2021.
Catherine has appeared many times in her stunning outfits not only at royal variety shows, but also at state banquets and galas at the National Portrait Gallery, of which Prince William’s wife has been a patron since 2012. So let’s take a look at 42 of the most impressive and interesting images of Catherine, Princess of Wales.

As the Princess of Wales turns 42, Joe Bromley rounds up her 42 most dazzling dresses
Celebrations are in order as Catherine, Princess of Wales marks her 42nd birthday today, Tuesday January 9.
While the Princess will likely spend the day with close friends, family and her husband, Prince William, she would have no problem amping up the glamour should she see fit.

Such events range from London premieres — from the black lace Temperley London gown she wore to the 2012 War Horse premiere, to the unforgettable gold glitter bomb dress by Jenny Packham which ricocheted across the internet after the No Time To Die James Bond world premiere in 2021 — to Royal Variety Performances, State Banquets and galas at the National Portrait Gallery, where she has been a patron since 2012.

Over time, Catherine has developed a formula for such occasions which, predominantly relying on Packham as well as Alexander McQueen, designed by Sarah Burton. Last year saw Burton, who made the Princess’s 2011 wedding dress, leave the house — the question for 2024 will be whether or not the house will maintain its royal seal of approval.
It is not to say she shies away from a dramatic turn. Her most memorable looks have come thanks to shocks of colour, which in turn have dominated front pages — the shimmering, fuschia The Vampire’s Wife gown worn to a special reception hosted by the Governor General of Belize in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 was a highlight; so too was the neon green Solace London she wore to the Earthshot prize in Boston that same year.

2023 was a year of sartorial triumphs as well. From the black, bicep length opera gloves paired with a re-worn white, McQueen gown at the BAFTAs in February (genius), to the dazzling display she put on alongside Blackpink, in a cascading white Packham gown with Paula Rowan white gloves, for the State Banquet held for Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee.
Cheers to many more in her 42nd year…
