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.

I thought she was going for the Michelle Obama look.***
But, oh, is Kate gorgeous!!!
*** with midlife ‘wings’ I am in NO position to talk!
Not at all, the lighting and shadow in that one pic gives the illusion. Look at all the other pics and she looks like she could use a cheeseburger..........I"M NOT COMPLAINING!
She is far more fetching than Diana. She has a very lovely face.
Welcome to America:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Now, now.
The girl is definitely working out!
“Looks just like mooshell....Im soooo proud.”
I hope that was sarcasm, otherwise, you are in contention for the most liberal and stupid post of the year.

The black dress, by David and Elizabeth Emanuel (who designed her wedding gown), was worn by a 19-year-old Diana to her first official appearance after her engagement to Prince Charles and earned her the tabloid nickname Daring Di for its low neckline and bare shoulders.
Must be security. He has that Secret Service look to him, like he’s ready to kick the first *** that tries to approach her, uninvited.
Arms are horrible, like she’s on a rowing team and took steroids.
I’m just harassing, er.... teasing you, bgill!!!
Indeed. His earpiece must be in his left ear.
Not that I know anything about human anatomy but I am guessing when you are very thin and work out the upper body... arm muscles tend to look more “massive”. The dress is absolutely stunning to me.
But she’s not a “titles and nobility” sort. She comes from a very hard-working, middle-class family. It’s nice that the prince fell in love with a smart normal girl and married her instead of marrying someone with a title and kennel papers that go back to Boadicea. She’s doing very well in her new job.
And remember, that “titles and nobility” stuff adds a lot to England’s bottom line in terms of tourist dollars. It’s a business. They keep the royals etc. around for a reason: revenue.
Wrapped in a bedsheet....
I wonder if those arms are the result of working out with the “shake-weight”?
Thanks for posting the photo of Diana in her black dress. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the photo of Kate.
