The Duchess of Cambridge looked festive in striking red as she paid tribute to unsung Covid-19 heroes during a special Christmas carol concert.
Kate, who was accompanied by Prince William, donned a Catherine Walker coat as she hosted the event Together at Christmas at Westminster Abbey.
And if you looked closely enough, it seems she was given sweet honour by the Queen - she was wearing a pair of her earrings that once belonged to her beloved mother.
The sapphire and diamond fringe Art Deco-style earrings are now part of the Queen's private collection - and were given to Kate to wear for the event.
The jewellery originally belonged to the Queen Mother, who wore them in public on several occasions, and the earrings passed to the Queen upon her death in 2002.
The event gathered 1,200 people who helped their communities during the pandemic and it will be screened on ITV on Christmas Eve.
There was a big royal turnout with Sophie Wessex, Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and Zara and Mike Tindall also in attendance.

While supporting Kate were her parents Carole and Mike, her sister Pippa, brother James and her sister-in-law Alizee.
Popstars Leona Lewis and Ellie Goulding, England footy hero Jordan Henderson and comic Jason Manford also sprinkled festive stardust.
And William also gave his own star turn by delivering a reading to the audience and was joined by TV host Kate Garraway and Paralympian and doctor Kim Daybell.
Heroes of Operation Pitting which helped evacuate 15,000 people from Afghanistan were also in the audience.
In a foreword in the Abbey's order of service, Kate wrote: "The Covid-19 pandemic has presented us all with countless and previously unimaginable challenges. We have lost loved ones, seen our frontline workers placed under immeasurable pressure, and we have experienced heart-wrenching isolation from those we hold most dear.
“Alongside this, we have seen how communities have come together to support those most in need. And through our separation from others, we have been reminded just how powerful human connection is to us all.
"Just how much we need one another. And how loving and feeling a sense of belonging to one another can provide comfort in tough times. The importance of simply being together."
