From a priceless tiara to a £19.99 necklace: The bargain Zara buy that gave Kate's designer dress its bling

Budget bling: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a £19.99 fake crystal necklace from Zara with her cream designer dress at the UK premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom last night

Earlier this week she wore a priceless tiara loaned to her by the Queen.
Tonight, however, the Duchess of Cambridge was back to the High Street, using a £19.99 fake crystal necklace from clothing chain Zara to 'bling up' her couture cream designer dress.
The royal sported the eye-catching piece of costume jewellery at a royal film premiere in London to liven up her Roland Mouret gown, the second time she has worn the bespoke creation in public.

Although Kensington Palace was not in a position to confirm it, there was little doubt the Duchess was wearing the 'sparkly bead necklace' still listed on the Zara website tonight by fashion watchers including website Whatkatewore.com.
The sparkling accessory features three rows of glass beads set in zinc and linked together like chainmail.
Kate, 31, and husband Prince William, were attending the UK premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom at London's Odeon Leicester Square - the official 2013 Royal Film Performance.

Their four-month-old son, Prince George, remained home at Kensington Palace.
Kate braved the freezing temperatures with a thigh-high slit in her gown. Her hair was swept back in a sleek ponytail with volume at the crown to show off her dramatic neckline to best effect.
 
The evening was marked by the sad news of Mandela's death, which was announced as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the former South African president's daughter, Zindzi Mandela, sat down to watch the screening of Long Walk To Freedom, the movie based on his autobiography.
William and Kate were informed of his death discreetly by an aide shortly before the end of the film.

Take inspiration from the Duchess of Cambridge in an ivory maxi dress

Another red carpet and another stunning look from the Duchess of Cambridge. For her night at the movies she chose this beautiful dress by Roland Mouret which showed off her amazing post-baby body to perfection.
Kate's dress is an ivory version of the Fall 2009 runway look (right) and despite its long sleeves and nigh neckline (perfect for this time of year) that slash to the thigh adds a tonne of sexiness and more than just a hint of leg.
Usually seen in British designers like Jenny Packham, Amanda Wakeley and Alexander McQueen it was a change of pace for the lovely Kate to wear a dress by this renowned French designer. But we approve whole heartedly. Mouret is loved for his understanding and celebration of the female form and it was he who brought back the pencil cut with his famous Galaxy dress in 2006. Fans of his frocks include Victoria Beckham, Miranda Kerr, Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz to name a few.
Kate's dress is officially 'vintage' now so we'll need ot head to the high street to replicate her red carpet look. Missguided have a similar style with daring thigh split or we like AQ/AQ's gathered version at Asos. Wear with a messy pony tail a la the Duchess, a statement necklace and chic black heels for your
