Spectre is the third James Bond film to be chosen as a Royal Film Performance Title and the 007 cast must be feeling honored to have the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge walking the same red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall.

The movie is one that's been long-awaited and while we have been crushing over Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci and Naomie Harris' dresses, we've been on the countdown for the royal arrival.

The Duchess opted for a Jenny Packham gown for the occasion, choosing a piece in a wintry pastel blue with beautiful waist embellishment. This is the third time this year the princess has chosen British designer Jenny Packham, who has clearly become one of her favorites. She originally wore the brand back in May when leaving the hospital with Princess Charlotte and then again just recently for the Chinese President's visit to the United Kingdom.
