LONDON: Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton channelled her inner Hollywood A-lister as she and Prince William joined the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ premiere in London.
Kate looked radiant in an off-the-shoulder Roland Mouret column gown, Alexander McQueen clutch, and Robinson Pelham diamond star earrings as she made her glamorous entrance on the red carpet.
Meanwhile, Prince William demonstrated his sartorial flair in a midnight blue Alexander McQueen velvet dinner jacket, tuxedo trousers and velvet slippers embroidered with miniature fighter jets in a nod to the film.
The couple joined leading man Tom Cruise and his co-stars Jennifer Connelly and Miles Teller as British TV royalty descended on London’s Leicester Square for the glitzy gala screening.
The couple were joined by leading man Tom Cruise, who received praise from Royal fans after helping Kate on the red carpet. The actor extended his hand to the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, as she navigated a set of stairs at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London’s Leicester Square.
Cruise was on hand to escort the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge down the red carpet and introduce them to his co-stars, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Miles Teller.
When he reached a small set of stairs ahead of the couple, Cruise immediately turned and offered a hand to the Duchess, who was walking next to him.
Kate reached out to take his hand for extra support. The pair seemed to be getting on famously, with Kate flashing a megawatt smile at the actor as they chatted ahead of the premiere.
The actor also expressed his joy to be back on the red carpet, saying: ‘I love what I do, I’ve always enjoyed it and I’m enjoying it even more now. ‘Particularly after the last couple of years, just to have an event like this is extraordinary.’
Maverick, which has so far received rave reviews from critics, sees Hollywood star Cruise reprise the role of US naval aviator Pete Mitchell and is being released 36 years after the 1986 original.
Cruise’s co-star Jennifer Connelly looked elegant in a cream patterned dress – just hours after also jetting in from the Cannes Film Festival.
