Since Kate — alongsidePrince Williamand in-lawsPrince CharlesandCamilla, Duchess of Cornwall— glittered on the red carpet at theworld premiere ofNo Time To Diein London last week, designerJenny Packhamhas revealed that the dress the Duchess of Cambridge wore is part of an eight-piece collaboration with the filmmakers to celebrate the 60th anniversary of James Bond.
“From Ursula Andress walking out of the ocean in her white bikini with a knife strapped to her hip to Caterina Murino inCasino Royaledraped in sultry pomegranate satin, the fashions of the Bond women are unique and timeless,” said Packham. “Creating a collection of Bond inspired gowns in collaboration with EON Productions has been incredible.”

The caped gown features a plunging neckline (slightly more revealing and with different shoulder structure than the one Kate wore on the red carpet) and is embellished with folded sequins and crystals on a base of glitter tulle. It’s on sale now in 10 stores, including Neiman Marcus and Net-a-Porter, for $5,488.
The collection starts from $2,759 and includes two dresses that are recreations of actual Packham designs worn in bothDie Another DayandCasino Royale— career moments which the designer acknowledges she will always cherish.
“The Bond movies have been the cinematic constant of my life and their glamour has always inspired me,” she says. “So, when I am asked to describe a highlight in my career — to see one of my designs in a Bond film is absolutely one of them.”
