Looking every bit like a literal Goddess in a glamorous golden gown, the royal made heads turn as she walked up the stairs of London’s historic Royal Albert Hall. Although accompanied by her husband Prince William, father-in-law Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall for the World Premiere of the 25th James Bond film, the crowd and cameras seemed to have eyes only for Kate.
Even the man of the hour, Daniel Craig, didn’t seem to mind Middleton stealing all the attention. Fanboying over her look for the evening, Craig was quoted telling Middleton, “You look jolly lovely!”
The internet, on the other hand, had more flattering things to say.
Royal fans took to social media to sing praise of Kate in her custom-made dazzling Jenny Packham gown. While some declared her as the ‘ultimate Bond Girl‘, others rooted for her to be cast in a future 007 film.
“In another lifetime Kate #DuchessofCambridge would have made a classy Bond girl, the beautiful gown she wore to the #BondPremiere tonight,” wrote a fan in a tweet.
Another said, “Wow! Kate looks amazing, (& Will not so bad ;), love that dress! What a Bond girl she would make!”
While they were at it, another Twitter user predicted, “Next Bond Girl for ‘Still NO Time To Die’ coming in 2028. Kate x Craig.”

The Duchess of Cambridge looked incredible in a full-length gown and wore her hair in a chic updo and accessorised with statement gold earrings.
According to the Kensington Palace official social media account, the world premiere “will benefit charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies: the Secret Intelligence Service, the Security Service, and GCHQ.”
‘No Time To Die’, the 25th official Bond film is Daniel’s final outing as the British spy.
The star, who turned up for the red carpet in a pink velvet dinner jacket, told reporters how relieved he was that the film was finally making its way to cinemas.
“A year ago, this was just a dream. It didn’t look like we would get here. But we have and I’m just happy that we’re here and we can celebrate with everybody,” he said.
Craig has played the suave secret agent in five movies, beginning with ‘Casino Royale’ in 2006.
‘No Time to Die’ also stars Lea Seydoux, Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, Ben Whishaw, Naomi Harris, Jeffery Wright, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Fiennes.
