The Duchess of Cambridge's glittering appearance at the James Bond premiere proved she is the royal family's "trump card", a royal expert has said.
Kate wowed the red carpet in a gorgeous custom sparkling gold sequinned Jenny Packham cape gown with Aquazzura heels.
She completed the look by wearing her hair up off her face to show off her beautiful gold earrings by Onitaa.
Her appearance even dazzled James Bond himself, actor Daniel Craig, who shook hands with Kate and told her she looked "jolly lovely".
And royal expert Duncan Larcombe noted that even A-list celebrities can't help but be starstruck by Kate.


He told OK! : "I think the images of Kate on the red carpet causing A-List celebrities to be starstruck and bedazzled by her shows that no matter what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are up to in America, Kate is still very much a trump card in the Royals' pack."
Kate was joined at the premiere of No Time To Die at the Royal Albert Hall by her husband Prince William as well as Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

And body language expert Judi James noted that Kate managed to "eclipse" all of the other stars at the event.
She told the Mirror: "In a sharp-shouldered, glimmering shower of a dress reminiscent of the elegant style of the golden days of Hollywood, Kate managed to eclipse an entire red carpet of Bond stars at their premiere.
"A dress like that requires confidence and elegance to do it justice and, with no bag in her hands to clutch at, Kate more than did it justice, walking the length of the carpet with her arms hanging at her sides and only joining her hands with a light touch of the fingers when she stopped to speak to and laugh with her hosts."


Yesterday, Kate and William travelled to Northern Ireland where they visited Derry-Londonderry.
And she stunned once again as she bravely held a tarantula spider, called Charlotte, and let it crawl on her hands while touring a university as a seemingly nervous William looked on.
They started their visit at Ulster University’s Magee Campus, where they met students as well as the huge spider and other creatures including a snake and baby chicks at the institution's Kidz Farm well-being petting zoo.
Spotting a tarantula in a cage, Kate asked: “Ooh, please can I hold the tarantula? What’s her name?” Told she was called Charlotte, Kate laughed: “Is she really?”
As Charlotte started moving up Kate’s hand, William joked that the spider was animated by Kate’s purple Emilia Wickstead outfit: “Maybe she’s not so keen on purple, or she maybe thinks you’re a flower.”
