The Duchess of Cambridge has become all too familiar with dressing for formal state banquets in her eight years as a royal – and she never disappoints with her stunning choices of gown! Whether it's attending events abroad or welcoming guests at Buckingham Palace alongside the Queen, Kate is a pro in dressing to the nines – particularly with the royal regalia that's now pinned to her dress.

Before then, Kate wore a yellow badge that indicated the Royal Family Order. Let's look back at all her most stunning state banquet looks over the years – scroll on!
