Kate Middleton Just Wore the Most Elegant Formfitting Red Carpet Gown

The Duchess of Cambridge doesn't often walk the red carpet, but when she does, she typically wears all things sparkly and ornate. So when Kate Middleton was photographed today at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London, my jaw dropped when I saw her impossibly beautiful dress devoid of all embellishments. She traded in sequins for a sleek black-and-white column gown that I'd argue is her most elegant look to date.
Middleton wore a Roland Mouret gown on the red carpet, where she met the movie's stars Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly. How's that for a Hollywood-Kensington crossover? Scroll down to see all the photos from the glamorous event held in Leicester Square.
