The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Royal Variety Performance in London tonight, dressing in their finest black tie. Duchess Kate looked every bit the Princess in a gorgeous black lace Diane von Furstenberg gown ($898 at Neiman Marcus). Her hair was pulled up in an elaborate chignon, and she positively glittered with drop crystal earrings by Kiki McDonough.

William looked dapper in a black tuxedo, and the royal couple stole the show. The expectant parents were in attendance for performances by some of the UK's biggest names - including Ed Sheeran, Elie Goulding and One Direction. One Direction was actually waiting for William and Kate's arrival, so they could greet the royal duo. Harry Styles reportedly said to Kate, "I said congratulations on the bump. (Though) she didn't look bumpy." Too funny.


We love when Kate gets all dolled up for a glamorous event, and expected we'd see something pretty fancy for tonight's performance. As is standard for our favorite royal, she did not disappoint.
