No one dresses for a premiere quite like the Princess of Wales, and the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis turned heads at the London premiere of Tom Cruise’s upcoming action comedy Digger on Tuesday evening.
Opting for one of her most-worn designer brands, Jenny Packham, the royal looked enchanting in her ethereal purple gown.
