On September 28, 2021, at London's Royal Albert Hall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, attended the world premiere of "No Time To Die." 

"No Time To Die" is the 25th Bond film directed by Cary Fukunaga and is produced by Michale Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The movie is Daniel Craig’s last movie as James Bond and Billie Eilish, Finneas O’Connell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Léa Seydoux and Ana de Armas attended the world premiere. 

At the international premiere, Daniel Craig walked the red carpet as James Bond for the final time, looking dapper in his pink-colored velvet jacket. But it was Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, in her glistening gold cape gown by Jenny Packham, embellished with sequins and beading, who absolutely stole the show.

Kate finished her gold cape gown with a plunging neckline look with metallic shoes, gold circular statement earrings, and an elegant updo. She went for a natural appearance with a smokey eye and flushed cheeks. The Duchess looked absolutely gorgeous and elegant as she walked the red carpet with the other members of the Royal Family. Prince William wore a beautiful black tuxedo with a bow tie. Camilla wore a long-sleeved pale blue gown with scattered decorations, while Prince Charles wore a black tux and bow tie.

According to reports, the actor who played James Bond for the fifth and final time in the film "No Time To Die" complimented the Duchess, saying she looked "jolly lovely."  The Duchess literally "out shined even the most dazzling Hollywood actress" in her stunning and elegant dress, according to GB NEWS anchors Esther McVey and Tonia Buxton. At the international premiere, the couple was hailed for seeming happy and proud of each other.

Tonia told viewers: "When I see them together, you can see they are both very confident and happy. You can see the love they have for each other. There are no egos there, which I love. For Kate to turn up in that dress, she outshone even the most glamorous of the Hollywood stars, and you could see how proud he was for her. And I think now people in this country will stop comparing her with Meghan. I used to be one of those people who asked whether she upped her game because of Meghan, but she upped her game because it was the right time to do so."

Ester McVey also expressed her opinion and praised the Duchess, noting that she was overjoyed when Kate walked the red carpet, describing it as a "butterfly moment." Kate Middleton exhibited presence and stature, according to McVey, as she walked alongside her husband, the Duke of Cambridge.

Kate Middleton's wardrobe choices are frequently compared to those of her sister-in-law, former actress Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. When it comes to fashion and style, Meghan Markle is the most well-known member of the royal family. Since her debut in the royal family, the public and critics have examined Kate’s dress choices.

Since the beginning, the Duchess of Cambridge has been scrutinized by the public and fashion moguls for choices of the outfit. Meghan Markle's addition to the family only added to the scrutiny Kate was already under. Meghan is a former actress who knows a little more about fashion and styling than Kate, so pitting two successful and powerful women against each other in terms of fashion choices was inevitable.

Kate's appearance at the international premiere of "No Time to Die" stirred not only the Internet, but also all the fashion critics who had previously chastised her selections. Tonia Buxton and Ester McVey praised the Duchess of Cambridge for her stylish and confident demeanor at the global premiere, saying that people have always "underestimated" her, yet she succeeds.

For a long time, the British Royal Family has been featured in James Bond films. The film has become a tradition in London throughout the years, with only a few royal visitors attending the event. The Queen attended her first Bond premiere in 1967, and while the Bonds have changed since then, royal visitors have stayed constant at the premiere.

The Royal Marines Band gave an incredible performance of the film's titular theme song, which must have been a dream come true for Billie Eilish and her musician brother Finneas O'Connell, who co-wrote it. At the ceremony, the gifted siblings also had the opportunity to meet the royal visitors. Clara Amfo, a radio DJ and Strictly Come Dancing 2020 participant, and TV host Alex Zane hosted the red carpet event.
