After going shopping in London in a hot-pink frock that was nothing terribly special, Princess Kate finally traded her mostly not-terribly-special things for something terribly special and sparkly! She wore this pale pink sequined gown from Jenny Packam's spring 2011 collection to a charity gala dinner at Kensington Palace today. It's surely the sparkliest thing she's worn (publicly, at least) since getting engaged to Prince William. If only she were allowed to throw on that princess tiara whenever she felt like it.
