Kate Middleton owns this green dress by The Vampire’s Wife. It is known as the ‘Falconetti’ dress.
Kate first wore the emerald metallic midi dress to a reception during a visit to Ireland in March 2020. The event took place at the Guinness Storehouse’s Gravity Bar and was hosted by the British Ambassador to Ireland.
Vogue magazine called it a “major moment in royal dressing.” They said “Kate looked demure-yet-directional. Dare we say, fashion.”
Kate can be seen wearing the green dress in an official portrait painted by Jamie Coreth, which the Duke and Duchess viewed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge on the 23rd of June 2022.
About the green dress:
Kate had to know she’d turn heads in this shimmering dress. It was unlike anything we’d seen her wear before. The green colour was perfect for a visit to the Emerald Isle!
The Vampire’s Wife say the dress draws inspiration from the early 20th-century Gibson Girl silhouette, which echoes the label’s retro aesthetic.
It features a fitted bodice with puffed sleeves, shoulders enhanced with shoulder pads and is finished with ruffles at the hem. The dress’s elbow-length sleeves also feature the same ruffle detailing.
The dress is crafted from a silk-blend chiffon fabric.
