Kate Middleton News: The Duchess Glams Up In Queen’s Christmas Lunch After Controversial Hoodie [PHOTOS]
Kate Middleton never failed to make headlines whether she's wearing a designer clothes or a generic black hoodie.

Looking stunning as she arrived at the event, the 32-year-old royal completed her Alexander McQueen gown with a dazzling pair of chandelier earing and a diamond necklace and a half updo, last year she wore her hair down and did not wear any accessories.
"Maybe last year, at the luncheon, the Queen whispered in Kate's ear, "This dress is quite becoming on you, dear," and that stuck with her, and Kate figured this morning, "You know, why not just give the mother-in-law what she likes?" according to Vanity Fair. "This year, Kate paired the dress with some dramatic chandelier earrings and a diamond necklace, along with a half-up hairstyle."
Together with Prince William, the Duchess attended the Queen's Buckingham Palace Christmas lunch on Wednesday, Dec. 17, as they joined the members of the royal family including Prince Charlie, Princess Beatrice and Prince Harry.
