Kate Middleton Hits the Art Scene in Lacy Green Gown
Kate Middleton enjoyed an evening of art Tuesday wearing an emerald green gown.
The duchess attended a gala dinner at the National Portrait Gallery in London wearing a green lace belted Temperley gown with sheer sleeves and gold open-toed shoes and carrying a $242 gold clutch from Wilbur and Gussie. She also wore her brown hair in loose ringlets around her face and a pair of $6,652 Kiki McDonough pink tourmaline and green amethyst drop earrings. The dress was similar to a Temperley black lace dress with nude underlay that Middleton wore to a premiere of the film War Horse in January 2012.
She was greeted at the museum by artists Philip Treacy and Ishbel Myerscough, British model and writer Alexa Chung, and designer Erdem Moralioglu.

According to the U.K. paper Express, the duchess, who has been a patron of the National Portrait Gallery since 2012, viewed two exhibitions, Howard Hodgkin: Absent Friends and Gillian Wearing and Claude Cahun: Behind The Mask, Another Mask. She also viewed a collection of 10 masks designed by Vivienne Westwood and Treacy. The event will raise money for the Coming Home project, which helps return portraits of historical icons “to places that are special to them” for a period of three years, according to Express.
On Tuesday, Kensington Palace shared more news about Middleton via Twitter: On April 4, the mother of two will attend opening night of the Broadway show 42nd Street at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The show is about a young girl named Peggy Sawyer who arrives in New York City from a small America town to make it on Broadway. And on May 11, Kate will head solo to Luxembourg to attend the commemoration of the 1867 Treaty of London.
Middleton and Prince William have been making headlines lately — they recently moved into Kensington Palace with their two children, Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte, 1, after spending $6.5 million in renovations. In March, they also traveled to Paris for a two-day visit, where they met with President Fran?ois Hollande. Then in July they’re jetting off to Poland and Germany on a royal tour.
And in September, Prince George will attend a new preschool near Kensington Palace. The tot is enrolled in Thomas’s Battersea School, where he’ll wear a $466 uniform and follow the school motto of “Be kind.”
