Truly, has Kate ever met a lace or lace-adjacent gown she did not buy? This -- a new number from McQueen -- is DEEPLY in her Formalwear Wheelhouse. This whole look is sort of Classic Middleton and thus I find it rather relaxing, if unsurprising.

It moves nicely (and the back of it is sort of surprisingly sexy for her):

The annual event raises funds for [@RoyalVariety](https://twitter.com/RoyalVariety?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and has been a fixture in the royal calendar for the best part of a century: [pic.twitter.com/DoJl8dZMy3](https://t.co/DoJl8dZMy3?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I'm sad Wills didn't take this opportunity to pop out in some over-the-top embroidered Gucci number, but you know. Man fashion baby steps.

(ALSO: We've discussed this a bit [in the comments on last week's Royals Round-Up](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royals-round-up-november-15th-2019-11-2019/), and [in this morning's post about The Crown](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/there-was-a-screening-of-the-crown-over-the-weekend-11-2019/), but feel free to let loose about [Prince Andrew's absolutely apocalyptically bad BBC interview](https://www.macleans.ca/royalty/prince-andrews-tell-all-interview-about-jeffrey-epstein-didnt-go-so-great/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) here if you like, as well. He *cannot* continue to undertake royal duties.)
