Kate Middleton’s elegant cocktail reception

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, attended the UK’s “Creative Industries Reception” at the “Royal Academy of Arts” in London. The duchess looked gorgeous in grey Roksanda Ilincic Spring 2011 “Peridot” dress with a draped neckline, pleated front skirt and cinched in waist. She completed her look by sweeping her hair up into a bedazzling chignon and accessorised in Olympic ring-style Kiki McDonough earrings, grey suede LK Bennett pumps and a sparkling clutch. Meanwhile, Kate landed the top spot on the “Vanity Fair” international best-dressed list, and served as the magazine's September cover girl.
