Just hours before, she joined her husband for a Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace with the Queen. But it was just the young royal set at the Sun Military Awards tonight.
The Duchess of Cambridge was the belle of the ball in a strapless black velvet dress as she walked the red carpet with her husband Prince William, who looked dapper in black tie
Prince Harry was two steps behind his older brother at London's Imperial War Museum, also donning a suit.
Kate's black Alexander McQueen gown - the same designer as her wedding dress - had frill trim around the bust and a fishtail-style skirt. It was so long on the five-foot, 10-inch Duchess, that she had to keep hitching it up to keep it from scraping on the ground.

Letting her hair down: The Duchess of Cambridge arrives at the Imperial War Museum in London for the Sun Military Awards in a strapless black velvet dress
Many more pictures at the source. All I can say is "Wow"! I am sure that all eyes were on the Dutchess.
The dress is absolutely stunning! She is a beautiful woman (although just to be catty.... her arms are a little “Ah-nold” for my tastes)
Looks great in that dress. Since she has such a straight up and down figure, one has to wonder what that corset looks like.
Pretty girl.
That whole “titles and nobility and we’re better than you are because of our bloodlines” crap? Blech.
Check out the pictures at the source. She’s certainly not preggers yet.
... or on whatever the guy behind her is staring at ...
Where’s Pippa?
She would look good in a brown paper sack.
Guess paparrazzi wasn’t allowed in, I can’t make out the dress in the dark, rainy night against the wet, dark steps.
Best looking Brit fem since Mrs. Peel!
She don’t look like a Duchess.
Is she holding an iPad?
First thing I saw also ... a couple of higher caliber guns than your average woman.
Yes it is loaded with dozens of Obama speeches. /s
To #10> Here, here!
Tara King wasn’t bad looking either.
Ahem...with great power comes great responsibility.
What were they staring at?
None of the other women there can hold a candle to Kate. But if you’re constantly having to hike up your skirt, the dress is too long.
“... if you’re constantly having to hike up your skirt, the dress is too long”.
Is that why you stick to tea-length dresses, bgill?! (snicker, snicker)
Looks just like mooshell....I’m soooo proud.
