Dressing for Christmas really can be so much fun! It's the one time of year you can pretty much guarantee that everyone is in a great mood, and you can also be sure that a Christmas party invite or two will end up in your inbox.
The Princess of Wales has been to many fancy events in her time and what's more, she is always dressed for the occasion. Prince William's wife has worn some exceptionally festive frocks over the years, providing the perfect inspiration if you have a festive bash to go to.

Needle & Thread at Buckingham Palace
Back in 2020, Kate hosted a glittering event at Buckingham Palace and turned everyone's head in the room when she stepped out in a red sequined number by luxury British brand Needle & Thread.

The Vampire's Wife 'Falconetti' in Ireland
Also in 2020, Kate jetted off to Ireland for the royal tour and ensured she paid homage to the Emerald Isle, wearing a delightful frock from now defunct label The Vampire's Wife.

It sadly is no longer available to buy, but you can actually rent it at John Lewis for £153 a go.
Jenny Packham 'Bond Girl' dress
In 2021, the Princess positively glittered at the World Premiere of the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die.
© GettyLeaving former Bond Girls shaking in their boots, the mother-of-three donned this truly sensational gold gown number by Jenny Packham. The glittering ensemble featured a twisted waist, boasted a plethora of hand-sewn sequins, and also featured a show-stopping, bejewelled cape. You can still buy the dress today in gold, burgundy and navy, too.
