Kate Middleton's Tiara Steals the Show at White Tie Ball
Kate Middleton wowed fans attending the white tie ball at Buckingham Palace in a glittering diamond tiara on Tuesday night.
It was the first time the Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted wearing a tiara since her royal wedding to Prince William in 2011 when she was loaned Queen Elizabeth's Cartier "halo" tiara.
As one of the most lavish gatherings held by the monarch at the Palace, Middleton was sure to shine at the event. The 31-year-old royal was spotted arriving alongside Prince William in a chauffeur-driven Bentley and wearing hanging diamond earrings to match her tiara, according to the Daily Mail.

Furthermore, the Duchess donned a white gown by Alexander McQueen and wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style, reported People.com.
Just three months after delivering Prince George, Middleton looked fresh and youthful. Also, the ball arrived just weeks after Middleton was spotted with graying hair, but the royal showed no signs of aging on Tuesday.
Middleton was following tradition in wearing a tiara for Tuesday's royal occasion, and the bedazzling headpiece is believed to be the Papyrus Tiara. The tiara features papyrus-shaped mounts framed in scrolls, with diamonds arranged in arcs and pearl accents. Kensington Palace confirmed that it had originally belonged to the Queen Mother as well as Princess Margaret.
The white tie ball is known as the Diplomatic Reception where 172 foreign missions are honored and greeted individually by members of the royal family.
Meanwhile, Prince George's mother reportedly handled her graying hair with zeal ahead of Tuesday's ball and was spotted at a six-hour hair appointment in London.
The Duchess of Cambridge made an appointment at the exclusive Rossano Ferretti hair spa where a simple haircut could cost up to $1,000. She reportedly had her hair cut, colored and blow-dried, among other things, according to Mail Online.
