Kate Middletonis a winter fairy tale come to life!

The royal looked every inch the snow princess in a glittering off-white gown embellished with sequined and featuring sheer capped sleeves. She topped off her look with the ultimate accessory: theLover’s Knot tiara, which was a favorite of Princess Diana.

She also proudly wore the yellow ribbon of the Royal Family Order ofQueen Elizabeth, which she recently received.
