Catherine Stuns in Epo 9 London Dress at Festival of Remembrance 2021
Royal enthusiasts were thrilled on Saturday evening as the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, graced the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
Adorned in a stunning Epo 9 London dress, first unveiled in February 2020, Catherine exuded elegance and grace throughout the event.
Notably, this was a reprise of her attire from a previous occasion when she attended a special performance of Dear Evan Hansen at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, in support of the Royal Foundation.
On this latest outing, she paired the dress with black stiletto shoes and a matching clutch bag, while opting for a down hairstyle that perfectly complemented her flawlessly applied makeup.
Quite exquisite, wouldn’t you agree?
In a departure from tradition, this year marked the absence of Her Majesty the Queen at the event.
A statement issued by Buckingham Palace explained that, in line with medical advice urging the Queen to rest for an extended period, she would be refraining from official engagements for the next two weeks.
Though she will engage in light, desk-based responsibilities and virtual audiences during this time, the Queen expressed regret over her inability to attend the Festival of Remembrance on November 13.
However, she affirmed her unwavering commitment to participating in the National Service of Remembrance scheduled for the following day, November 14.
The Festival of Remembrance holds a special place in the hearts of many, especially given the absence of an audience last year due to the global pandemic.
Reflecting on past editions, the 2019 event saw Catherine donning an elegant dark blue midi dress accentuated by a fitted waistband.
Her signature glossy brown locks cascaded in loose waves, complemented by a stylish £17.99 padded rhinestone headband from popular retailer Zara.
The Festival, a poignant tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed for Britain and the Commonwealth, honors the military personnel, civilians, young, old, as well as British and Commonwealth individuals who have valiantly defended their nations in times of conflict, disaster, and health crises.
