Whoever said all that glitters is not gold clearly didn't take the Princess of Wales' wardrobe into account. The royal has a golden archive of outfits and her latest look took her doting fashion followers by surprise.

SEE: Why Princess Kate wears red for significant moments

Princess Kate recorded a special introduction for Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, the broadcast of her second carol service at Westminster Abbey which will air on Christmas Eve on ITV. For the announcement, the mother-of-three championed a theme that is perfect for the festive period – sparkles.

WOW: Princess Kate's best Christmas outfits revealed - which is your favourite?

Princess Kate wore her silky brunette locks down loose with a slightly off-centre parting, allowing her cascading waves to gently shape her radiant face.

She opted for a camera-ready beauty blend, consisting of a smooth, velvety skin tone, a touch of peachy blush, a dark, defined brow, a flutter of mascara and a glossy lip. *Chef's kiss.*
