Caption: The Duchess of Cambridge leaves Kensington Palace wearing a bespoke Jenny Packham dress, the Queen Mother's tiara and diamond chandelier earrings as she makes her way to the state banquet at Buckingham Palace this evening
All eyes were on Kate, 33, wearing the delicate Papyrus tiara, also known as the Lotus Flower, which was once owned by the Queen Mother and a favourite of Princess Margaret for the first state banquet at Buckingham Palace, as she toasted and dined beside Mr Xi.
The priceless headpiece and matching diamond-drop earrings accessorised a brocade high-necked bespoke Jenny Packham dress in a fitting shade of red, the colour of China's flag.
It's only the second time the Duchess has worn the diamond tiara - the first time being when she got married in April 2011 wearing a Cartier Halo tiara.
