The Duchess In McQueen (Again)


Kate Middleton dazzled us again last night in another Alexander McQueen masterpiece.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were guests alongside Prince Harry for The Suns Military Awards.  Looking back just a few years ago, who would have thought that the misogynistic and highly sexualised brand that was the eponymous label of Lee Alexander McQueen would have proved to put the pair amongst the highest rated in the Fashion Industry.


The gown was a stunning, floor length black velvet strapless gown and accessorized by the duchess with a ruby and diamond necklace and bracelet and simple diamond drop earrings.  Her simple, loosely curled hair finished off the outfit with the elegance and grace that has become synonymous with her growing fashion icon status.


Also in attendance were the Beckham boys, X Factor Winner Little Mix and reality TV star Lydia Rose Bright (in perhaps the worst outfit I've even seen her in).  Quite a guestlist then.
