Hopefully Daniel Craig is not offended. The spotlight should all have been on him since with this red carpet the actor bids farewell to James Bond, the legendary character he’s been linked to since 2006, but when Kate arrived at Royal Albert Hall there were no eyes in London but for her. Gorgeous in a dress of Jenny Packham covered with golden sequins, the Duchess of Cambridge was the undisputed star of the highly glamorous evening.
The occasion was the world premiere of No Time to Die, the twenty-fifth film in the saga based on novels by Ian Fleming, an event in grand style that gave a tangible sign of restart after the long months marred by the pandemic.
To contribute to this sense of rebirth there was a precious quartet that had not been seen together for a long time and moreover so in shooting. Carlo always appeared at ease in a tuxedo, next to him Camilla in light blue powder and rhinestones. William brought his understated elegance with him, accompanied by the true queen of the evening. To underline this, she had her trusted designer create a cape dress, a dress with a built-in cape that may have shown, seen from behind, some too much transparency.
Compared to the other European royals, Kate did not seem to love this model too much: we have a single signed copy on file Alexander McQueen worn in 2018 at a state dinner in Norway. Water has passed under the bridge since then and the “seniority” in the family now perhaps allows her to push on the pedal of royalty. There Duchess of Cornwall instead he proposed a garment designed by Bruce Oldfield, the same designer who created the velvet dress worn for the premiere of Skyfall in 2012 but above all it was also what it served Diana with satisfaction in the 80s, also for a red carpet dedicated to 007.
If there is one thing that was not lacking last night it was the glitter that illuminated most of the women’s outfits present at the event. Also, judging from what we have seen that you want a cloak even if one day you will not sit next to the future King of England. Who managed to divinely combine these two reasons was Phoebe Waller Bridge, known to the general public for Fleabag. The screenwriter of the film left everyone speechless with a black sequined jumpsuit and a light coat of Azzaro Haute Couture. Proud of her cloak that she also swirled on the red carpet, Lea Seidoux with a bright white dress of Louis Vuitton.
The dress of the young tennis star was white and silver Emma Raducanu in Christian Dior, same color for the sequined dress of Naomie Harris signed Michael Kors. Who got noticed is Lashana Lynch with a sumptuous yellow dress by Vivienne Westwood but in high risk, but of a very different character, we can mention the Bond woman Anna of Arms she too in Vuitton, and the TV personality Kimberley Garner with what could be her creation: for both necklines and breathtaking slits. After the triumph in De la Renta at the Met Gala, Billie Eilish she chose a complete shirt and pants by Gucci very chaste compared to the tenor of the premiere.
And then we come to the men. Daniel Craig rocked the red carpet with one fuchsia velvet jacket by Tom Ford, as per tradition. For the rest, we saw a nice variation on the tuxedo theme between lapels, shirt collars, patterns and non-ordinary fabrics. Because the tuxedo is not only black but above all it is no longer something just for men. The former boxing champion proves it to us Nicola Adams and the lady Malek. Branches in Prada, brought to the premiere his mother Nelly dressed in a softened version of the tuxedo. A look matchy-matchy all in the family, in spite of the “bad guy” he plays in No Time to Die.
