Claudia Schiffer Surprises in a Sparkling Little Black Dress at Royal Event with Kate Middleton

On December 3, Claudia Schiffer made a striking and unexpected appearance at a royal state banquet in Germany. The renowned model attended the event alongside Kate Middleton and Prince William, wearing a dazzling black velvet gown adorned with intricate beadwork and jewels on the sleeves and waist.

The dinner, held at Windsor Castle and hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla, was a historic evening for Princess Kate, who wore a tiara for the very first time. Schiffer, widely regarded as fashion royalty, added glamour to the evening as she mingled with the British royal family and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Schiffer's gown featured a high neckline, padded shoulders, and a front slit, perfectly complemented by pointed-toe kitten heels. Her blonde hair was styled in soft, center-parted waves, while her makeup highlighted her eyes with fringed lashes and a soft nude pink lip.

Accompanying Schiffer was her husband, Matthew Vaughn, who was recently honored as a Knight Bachelor, granting Schiffer the title of Lady. The couple was seated near President Steinmeier, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, King Charles, and Princess Kate.

Princess Kate herself was a vision in a bedazzled Jenny Packham cape gown and a rarely seen tiara, the Queen Victoria Oriental Circlet, originally crafted in 1853 by Prince Albert. The tiara had last been worn by Queen Elizabeth in 2006, making this a special moment in the princesss collection.
