She's definitely been keeping up her fitness while living with Prince William at Kensington Palace, as she showed off super-toned biceps on the red carpet.
Dressed in a strapless black Alexander McQueen gown, Kate accessorised her simple dress with a spectacular diamond and ruby necklace.
A St James's Palace spokesman said the necklace was 'a wedding gift from a family friend who wishes to remain anonymous".

Prince William and Prince Harry's father Prince Charles created the awards night to recognise the achievements of people who serve in the Armed Forces.
Kate's known for her love of exercise and regularly goes to the gym to jog, use light weights and work out on the rowing machine to keep in shape.
Before her wedding Kate was often spotted in the Harbour Club in west London. A fellow member told the Telegraph: "Kate was in the gym last week exercising with a friend for more than an hour. She looked in great shape - incredibly fit and slim."
Kate's arms - perfectly toned or too muscly? Let us know below...
Don't miss our gallery of celebs with athletic bodies.
- Jodie Marsh<p> Jodie worked out for six hours a day to get her svelte bodybuilder's physique. She flaunts it in a body-con dress with no sleeves - all the better to showcase those toned arms.</p>
- Jennifer Aniston<p> Jennifer credits yoga with transforming her figure from curvy to athletic, and the 42-year-old is famed for showing off her perfectly toned pins on the red carpet in mini dresses.</p>
- Kelly Rowland<p> Kelly's athletic frame is getting tons of attention and TV exposure every week on <em>The X Factor</em>. Her signature red carpet look shows off her muscular legs and toned arms and offers a bit of embellishment to add curves to her rectangular shape.</p>
- Madonna<p> Even though this look isn't exactly age-appropriate for the 53-year-old, the Material Girl does get bonus points for softening her rock hard-bod with ultra feminine fabrics like sheer lace and glam fur.</p>
- Cameron Diaz<p> The surfer babe and self-confessed exercise lover is proud of her toned arms and legs and flaunts them in strapless mini-dresses (which also draws the attention away from her middle - a figure-flattering move for her athletic, rectangular frame).</p>
- Keira Knightley<p> Keira's boyish frame has gone from super-slim to toned and athletic. She creates the illusion of curves in this gorgeous floral-Deco printed frock.</p>
- Cindy Crawford<p> The supermodel's athletic curves made her the <em>Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue</em> favourite in the 1980s. At 45, she still likes to show off her toned legs in mini-dresses, and the contrast leather jacket breaks up her rectangular body shape.</p>
- Jessica Biel<p> Mixing weight and circuit training with yoga and beach sports helps to keep Jessica's athletic bod looking so shapely. Here the star is wearing a clever top for girls with broader shoulders since it adds curves to slimmer hips. And of course, showing off a bit of toned leg in evening shorts never hurts, either.</p>
- Anna Kournikova<p> The tennis pro turned <em>Biggest Loser</em> trainer keeps her athletic physique in check with at least an hour of exercise every day. Even in a gown on the red carpet, she highlights her athletic frame in a shoulder-baring asymmetrical dress, which has embellishment around the middle to add some more feminine curves around the hips.</p>
- Fergie<p> Fergie has an athletic frame which is also curvy and petite. How to dress it? In a block colour (with same-colour shoes to elongate the look) to show off those legs. The elaborate bodice on her dress also helps the eye gaze drift upwards.</p>
- Renee Zellweger<p> For Renee's inverted triangle shape, a strapless dress with an embellished top is a flattering option because it draws attention away from slim hips and towards a toned upper body. </p>
- Jennifer Garner<p> Jennifer breaks up her broader shoulder line in this asymmetric draped goddess dress, which lends a feminine softness to her toned, inverted triangle-shaped physique.</p>
- Gwyneth Paltrow<p> Gwyneth Paltrow credits Tracy Anderson with turning her post-pregnancy body into a fitness queen's. Her straight up-and-down rectangle shape is flattered by this asymmetrical dress which draws the gaze up towards the shoulder and down to those mile-long legs.</p>
- Geri Halliwell<p> From curvy to way-too skinny to healthy and athletic, Geri's figured out how to dress her body through all its metamorphoses. An embellished mini-dress always works. </p>
- Naomi Campbell<p> This inverted triangle knows how to maximise her assets - the risque hip-high slit widens up Naomi's bottom half, making her hips look more in proportion with her broad shoulders. And with those legs on display, we doubt anyone could pay attention to anything else.</p>
