Kate Middleton joined other members of the British royal family at Windsor Castle on October 20 for a state banquet honoring Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman. The Princess of Wales arrived alongside her husband, Prince William, wearing a yellow gown and a familiar royal heirloom once favored by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

The Princess of Wales chose Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot tiara, a diamond and pearl headpiece that has become one of her most frequently worn royal accessories. The tiara features 19 diamond arches and 28 drop-shaped pearls, with the pearls suspended beneath intricate diamond knots. It was commissioned by Queen Mary from the House of Garrard in 1913 and made as a copy of a tiara once owned by Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel, Duchess of Cambridge.

This marked her second appearance in the tiara this year and her 16th time wearing it since marrying William in 2011. Kate paired the headpiece with a yellow gown by Elie Saab featuring a keyhole neckline, pleated skirt and flowing cape. She accessorised with a glittering Anya Hindmarch clutch, Queen Mary’s diamond choker bracelet and earrings from Queen Elizabeth II’s collection.

The Princess last wore the Lover’s Knot tiara earlier this year in March for the state banquet. On that occasion, she paired it with a green gown by Andrew Gn, a choice that reflected the colors of the Nigerian flag.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold previously said in an interview that the tiara was one of Diana’s favorite pieces, and suggested that “Kate wears this to keep her late mother-in-law’s memory alive.”

Prince William joined his wife, wearing a traditional Windsor tailcoat with his medals and royal orders. Earlier in the day, Kate had worn a forest-green Alexander McQueen coat dress and a matching hat while welcoming the Sultan during the official arrival ceremony.

Dua Lipa and her husband, Callum Turner, arrived hand in hand for a date night at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on October 19. The couple attended the opening-night of Lincoln in the Bardo, with both opting for black outfits for the occasion. While Turner kept his look classic, Lipa brought a more detailed design to the evening.

The singer walked the red carpet alone in a black dress from Maximilian Davis’s Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2027 collection. The design started with a black bandeau held by slim straps before falling into sheer chiffon covered in round sequins. Some of the sequins reflected icy blue, while the dress continued into a long train behind her. It also had a thigh-high slit.

Lipa’s dress came with detachable sleeves. They followed the same design as the gown, with bands around her upper arms and at the cuffs. She paired the dress with black satin slides from Ferragamo and carried a matching satin bag. Her hair was tied back in a neat ponytail with a side part.

Turner kept his outfit simple beside his wife, wearing a black single-breasted suit over a white button-down shirt, paired with black Oxford shoes.

This marked Lipa’s latest opera outing. Last month, she attended the opening-night gala for La Traviatain Milan, Italy. At the Metropolitan Opera event, she spoke about what makes it special. “Opera really just touches on all our human emotions, you know, love and grief and loss and ambition and hope, all these things that make it so special.”

Lincoln in the Bardo is an opera adaptation of George Saunders’s 2017 novel of the same name, composed by Missy Mazzoli. The story follows a fictionalized Abraham Lincoln as he mourns the death of his young son, Willie. Other familiar faces at the event included Comedian Amy Poehler and Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to Los Angeles on October 18, bringing the runway presentation back to the West Coast for the first time since 2007, when Heidi Klum hosted the show.
