And while many said she looked every inch the Bond girl in her look, it turns out that she really did wear a dress designed for the film franchise's famous femme fatales - since the designer has now revealed that the dress comes from a special collaboration collection with James Bond.

Meanwhile, the British fashion house shared a quote from designer Jenny herself, who commented: "The Bond movies have been a cinematic constant of my life and their glamour has always inspired me. So, when I am asked to describe a highlight in my career – to see one of my designs in a Bond film is absolutely one of them."

It's quite a rare move for the Duchess to be involved with such a collaboration, though it's not known whether she chose the dress coincidentally - or perhaps she really did want to be a Bond girl for the night.
The Duchess had everyone talking with her stunning gown
Kate did make a slight alteration to her gown for the premiere, however - the plunging neckline was taken to a more modest V-neck for the occasion.
Either way, fans quickly responded to the news about her red carpet outfit, with one joking on Twitter: "Sorry it’s not a Bond dress, it's the Duchess dress now!" and another adding: "Now I understand why Kate wore THAT DRESS."
