The Princess of Wales looked elegant in a red sequin dress in a photo posted on Sunday, 11 December.
Taking to the official Instagram page for the Princess and her husband, William, Prince of Wales, a stunning photo of Kate was shared to promote an upcoming ITV show, the Together at Christmas Carol Concert, that the royal will host.
In the picture shared to highlight the event, Kate looks stunning in a red sequin dress. Looking ready for the festive season, Kate's elegant dress features a high neckline and red sequins; while the long sleeves are adorned with sequin and lace. The Princess has opted for a natural makeup look and wears her hair down in her signature, waved style.
In the photo, Kate wears the Aurora Ballerina Dress from Needle & Thread. And, this isn't the first time the Princess has been spotted in the stunning style. In January 2020, Kate wore the dress to co-host a reception at the Palace with Prince William, marking the UK-Africa Investment Summit.

At £460, this dress is certainly an investment piece. However, as shown by the Princess, it can be worn time again and loved forever.
