This fresh, summery ensemble, worn in June to a Derby Day race in Epsom, England, showed off Kate's enviably toned legs – as well as one of her equally enviable hats. 03 of 10 HIGH SHINE Camera Press/Retna At a London gala in June, Kate proved she could have fun with fashion in a youthful and eye-catching (but still appropriately elegant) Jenny Packham gown. 04 of 10 NORTHERN EXPOSURE Macpherson/Gillis/Splash News Online For her official visit to North America, the Duchess celebrated Canada Day in Ottawa on July 1 in the country's colors: a white Reiss dress, Queen Elizabeth's maple leaf brooch and a bright red hat by Sylvia Fletcher, also featuring maple leaves. 05 of 10 MORE MCQUEEN, PLEASE! Mark Large/Getty Looking appropriately regal in another Alexander McQueen – this one, a pleated lavender gown – and borrowed earrings from the Queen, Kate met Hollywood's finest at the July 9 BAFTA Brits to Watch gala in Los Angeles. 06 of 10 GRAY GODDESS Lefteris Pitarakis/Getty Perhaps Kate's trip to Tinseltown inspired her taste for this draped, belted Jenny Packham gown with an Old Hollywood vibe, worn to a London charity benefit in November. (Angelina Jolie wore the same style in orange earlier that year!) 07 of 10 BLACK BEAUTY Camera Press/Retna Though the Duchess rarely goes strapless, preferring to show off her legs instead of her décolletage, she chose a sweetheart-neckline black velvet Alexander McQueen gown, accented by jewels she'd received as a wedding gift, for London's Sun Military Awards in December. 08 of 10 LOVELY IN LACE Rex USA Continuing to show support for British designers, Kate wore a delicate, lacy Alice by Temperley gown with a V-neck and long sleeves, plus sparkling jewels, to the War Horse London premiere in January. 09 of 10 IRISH "AYES" Chris Jackson/Getty Fittingly dressed in emerald to celebrate St. Patrick's Day along with the troops in Aldershot, England, she accessorized her wrap coat with a shamrock brooch and jaunty brown pillbox hat. 10 of 10 JEWEL CHIEF Dave Hogan/Getty A pretty pale peplum dress with a boldly embellished collar and cuffs make a perfect, polished style statement for the African Cats premiere on April 25 – four days before her big anniversary.
