Princess Catherine wears Glittering Green Gown for Reception
Catherine and William attended a reception on their final evening in Jamaica. Kate looked absolutely phenomenal in a green tulle gown by Jenny Packham.
The Governor-General, Sir Patrick Allen, hosted the spectacular event at his official residence, King’s House. Sir Patrick represents the Queen in Jamaica.
William delivered a landmark speech at the reception. He expressed his sorrow over slavery in Britain, calling it “abhorrent”. “It should never have happened”, he added. You can watch the full speech below:
Kate’s green dress in Jamaica:
Kate wore a jaw-droppingly beautiful green gown by the British designer, Jenny Packham. It was one of her best evening dresses to date, in my opinion.
The dark green gown features an off-shoulder neckline complete with ruffles, a tulle skirt adorned with crystals/beads and a sweeping train. I think the enchanting piece had a ‘fairytale princess’ feel.
It’s thought Kate commissioned the dress from Jenny Packham directly. It features elements of the below two styles from Jenny Packham’s ready-to-wear offering:
The sea-foam green colour is from Packham’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection, I do not think it is available to buy ‘off the rack’ as yet. The black gown is older, I’m not sure from which year. It was previously sold at Neiman Marcus. It was called the “Off Shoulder Illusion Gown.”
