The Duchess of Cambridge dressed to impress for her evening at the National Portrait Gallery's 2017 Portrait Gala on Tuesday. Kate wore a stunning floor length green Temperley dress for the occasion, which she attended in her role as patron of the National Portrait Gallery. The 35-year-old's gown featured beautiful lace detailing, which she accessorised with a gold clutch bag. Kate wore her hair down in loose curls, with natural make-up to complete the look.

Kate has been Patron of the National Portrait Gallery since 2012 and previously attended the gallery's gala in 2014, where she looked stylish as ever in a Jenny Packham evening gown and a diamond necklace borrowed from the Queen. The Duchess has since seen her own portrait grace the walls at the gallery, after her shoot for Vogue's centenary celebrations was displayed as part of the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition.
GALLERY: See the best royal style of the month so far
As in previous years, funds raised during the course of the Gala will go towards supporting the National Gallery's work and to aid the continued delivery of inspirational exhibitions and displays. It will also help the gallery to continue its world-class research.
