he Duchess of Cambridge continued her reign over the style set last night when she stepped out in an oyster grey silk Jenny Packham gown.
But it's not the first time we've seen the Grecian-inspired design. The label is a favourite with a host of Hollywood stars - most notably Angelina Jolie, who wore the same style in red to a premiere in May.

It is demure enough for formal Royal occasions in that is shows no cleavage, and the folds of fabric and flowing skirt do not cling too much. But the asymmetric neckline reveals a sexy flash of shoulder.
Such a statement dress requires little embellishment in terms of jewellery - but what there was, dazzled.
As well as her famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring, Catherine wore Art Deco-style diamond chandelier earrings and a diamond bracelet.
Angelina's bling was no less impressive, with a large gold cocktail ring and coordinating stud earrings.
But that is where the similarities ended. Catherine's dress, which bore an all-important poppy pin to mark Remembrance Day, was a heavy silk, catching the light.
Angelina's instead, was chiffon, causing the fabric folds to fall in a slightly different way. A slight ruffle beneath the exposed shoulder also differed from Catherine's version.
But they are not the only high-profile figures to fall for Jenny Packham's creations. Though Catherine is most regularly seen in the label, the Brit designer now has an extensive star fan base.
