Joining the guestlist from across the pond, Kate looked demure, sticking to her trademark black look in a sophisticated belted dress and matching heels.
The Titanic actress features in the December issue of the title, speaking about body image and how curves are celebrated.
She said: 'We have celebrated curves more in the last five years. But I do worry about the extra pressure to be "perfect" on girls growing up now. I’m obsessed about the misuse and potential perils of social media for our younger generation.'

She features in the December 2017 issue of the British title, talking about Hollywood before the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal in the industry.
The 54-year-old Taxi Driver and The Silence Of The Lambs actress confessed she had never made a film 'about women, made by women' despite her lengthy career.

Speaking before the shocking Weinstein allegations broke, Jodie revealed that for a lengthy part of her career, all the scripts she was offered focused on female abuse - and confessed she had never made a film that was 'seen through women's eyes'.
She explained: 'Even with the number of movies I've made, I've never made a movie that was about women, made by women, that was seen through women's eyes…
'I was saying recently that there was a time in my life, for 15 or 20 years, during which every single script I read, the motivation for the female character was that they had been raped or abused as a child.'
