Kate also changed up her hair — instead of a half-up, half down style, Kate wore her hair in an elegant braided updo.

Both times, she accessorized with a gold glitter clutch and heels.

It’s not the first time that Kate has reworked an old dress to give it a fresh look. Last March, she wore a black floral gown to a gala at the London’s National Portrait Gallery, the same dress she hadpreviously worn to the BAFTAs in 2017. The once daring off-the-shoulder style had been re-worked into a more conservative look, with capped sleeves replacing the original straps.

Kate also added some major new jewelry with theMagic Alhambra Necklaceandmatching earringsfrom Van Cleef & Arpels. Made from yellow gold and mother-of-pearl, the set totals a staggering $15,150. While it may have been a new purchase (or eco-friendly loan) for Kate, the clover design has long been popular with the royals.
