Gorgeous in green: Kate Middleton gets all dolled up for glittering gala
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, sure knows how to make a splash! The stylish royal attended a glittering gala dinner this evening at the National Portrait Gallery in London and wowed in a forest green gown.
Tuesday evening is one of the most formal events on Kate's calendar so far this year, following a black-tie gala in Paris and her big red carpet moment at the BAFTAs, and she did not disappoint. Ever the fashionista, Kate chose a lace green gown by Temperley London, one of her favorite designers, that had modern touches while being entirely classic and elegant. As Kate often turns to the British designer for her intricate lace details (she recently wore another green Temperley dress while in India), it's no surprise that she has chosen her again.
Kate's glamorous gown has a low scooping back, with scalloped lace along the sleeves, neckline, and back. She wore her hair down in bouncy curls -- a bit bouncier than usual! -- and paired the look with new sparkling earrings by Kiki McDonough, a gold clutch from Wilbur & Gussie and gold shoes.
Kate chatted with fellow attendees Alexa Chung and Erdem, another designer she often champions, during the evening's festivities. The duchess was an art history major while at University, so it's a natural fit for her to be the royal patron of the National Portrait Gallery.

Earlier today, it was announced that Duchess Kate will be heading overseas by herself on May 11, traveling to Luxembourg to attend the commemoration of the 1867 Treaty of London. It's her second official solo overseas trip, following her visit to the Netherlands last October where she dazzled crowds and channeled Jackie Kennedy in powder blue (and we learned about her 'perfect hair every time' trick).
