Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, managed to wear a black gown to a black-tie event and still stand out.
The mom of three stunned in a floor-length gown with sections of semi-sheer lace by Alexander McQueen, the fashion house behind her 2011 wedding gown.
She paired the black gown with black heels and dramatic earrings and wore her long hair down in a bouncy blowout.
Kate was at Prince William's side for a parents' night out as they attended the Royal Variety Performance at the Palladium Theater in London.
The performance is an annual event that benefits the Royal Variety Charity, of which William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, is patron.
