Duchess Kate channels a Bond girl at 'No Time To Die' London premiere: See her epic gold gown

The name is Kate. Duchess Kate.

The Duchess of Cambridge didn't appear shaken or stirred at the London world premiere of the latest James Bond film "No Time To Die" (out Oct. 8) on Tuesday, alongside Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Duchess Kate channeled a royal Bond girl on the red carpet at Royal Albert Hall in a shimmering gold Jenny Packham gown that featured a stunning cape and intricate sequin embellishments. She completed her look with gold pendant earrings and an elegant updo.

Prince William and Prince Charles looked like they borrowed an outfit from Bond's closet, both opting for a classic black and white tuxedo. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wore a baby blue gown embellished with silver beadwork.

The royals interacted on the red carpet with 007 himself, Daniel Craig, who stood out in a velvet pink double-breasted tuxedo jacket. Craig's fifth and final turn as James Bond in "No Time to Die," the 25th installment of the franchise, was originally supposed to be released in April 2020 but has since been delayed twice due to COVID-19.

"We don’t make these movies for us. We make it for (the fans)," Craig said on the red carpet Tuesday. "I can’t wait for people to see it."

It wasn't 'Goldfinger' or 'Skyfall' Which James Bond movie did best at the box office?

The royals are huge James Bond fans. In 2015, Duchess Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry attended the London world premiere of Craig's 2015 film "Spectre."

Prince Charles and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, attended the London premiere of 2012's "Skyfall," the 23rd installment of the spy franchise.

In 2019, Prince Charles toured the film set at Pinewood Studios in England with Craig. He got an up close and personal look at some classic hot rods and even got to watch an actual scene be filmed.

"The Prince was shown some of the cars used in the film by Daniel Craig," according to the Royal Family's Instagram account in June 2019. The post shows several pictures of Charles and Craig posing in front of two Aston Martin Bond cars.
