Kate Middleton Wore a Bold Gold Cape Dress to the James Bond Premiere

The royals have returned to formalwear in full force. Prince William, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, came together to attend the glamorous world premiere of No Time to Die, the newest James Bond feature. The group just arrived at London's Royal Albert Hall for the big event.

For the occasion, the Duchess of Cambridge made a statement in an embellished gold cape dress, featuring architectural shoulders and a flowing train. The metallic look was a bold choice for Kate, who normally tends towards simpler pieces. She paired the gown with circular gold earrings and an updo.

The premiere's audience not only includes two future kings, but also health care workers and members of the military, who joined the royals for the special outing. Daniel Craig, of course, is also in attendance, celebrating his fifth and final time playing James Bond.

After many delays due to the pandemic, No Time to Die will finally arrive in theaters in the U.S. on October 8. In addition to Craig, the movie also stars Léa Seydoux, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Fiennes, among others. Notably, Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote the screenplay, alongside Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and the movie's director, Cary Joji Fukunaga.

The newest iteration in the franchise follows Bond as he reemerges from retirement to help a friend. The log line notes, "Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology."

The royals often turn out for Bond premieres. The Duke and Duchess attended the premiere of the last Bond movie, Spectre, back in 2015, accompanied by Prince Harry. Prince Charles and Camilla also attended the premiere of Skyfall in 2012.
