Kate Middleton wore the Safiyaa Destiny Dress in Poseidon Blue to the 2023 Royal Variety Performance.
About the Safiyaa Talina dress:
The Talina dress is the epitome of modern regal chic. With its sculpted silhouette, dramatic shoulders and luxurious Poseidon blue hue, it presents a striking figure.
The dress features a boat neckline embellished with delicate smoke crystal detailing, which adds a touch of sparkle and opulence. Long sleeves that split above the elbow and a streamlined bodice lead down to a floor-length skirt.
The back of the dress is just as meticulously designed, with a hidden zipper ensuring a seamless look and the continuation of the sleek, body-skimming design.
This gown, with its minimalist aesthetic punctuated by crystal accents, exudes a confident and contemporary elegance that’s perfectly suited for royal engagements and gala events alike.
Where to buy the gown:
Find the gown in posidon blue on the official Safiyaa website. The product description also notes that additional colours can be ordered upon request. The gowns are made to order at the atelier.
Kate Middleton and Safiyaa:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first time we’ve seen Kate wearing Safiyaa. The label was on my radar—I had stumbled across them one year ago, following the South Africa State Banquet. I noticed they sold a gown that could work as a ‘dupe’ for anybody trying to copy Kate’s look from that evening. The collection seemed to align seamlessly with the Princess’s aesthetic, and I mused over the possibility of her donning a Safiyaa gown in the future. It appears that prediction has come to fruition!
