The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning today for the Queen's thanksgiving service at St Paul's cathedral today in a nude lace dress by Alexander McQueen.
Kate wore the demure dress with a matching hat by Jane Taylor, a milliner fast becoming a firm favourite with the royals and nude LK Bennett heels.
It was the third time she has worn an Alexander McQueen piece this weekend, having chosen something from the label, the same designer behind her lace wedding dress, at every Jubilee weekend celebration so far, from her red pageant outfit to the coat she wore over her Whistles dress for last night's concert.
The hat's designer, Jane Taylor, who also saw the Countess of Wessex wear one of her hats today said she was 'delighted'.
'Both the Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex look stunning today.
'They both have a unique yet timeless sense of style and wear hats so well.
'It's the dream to have two members of they royal family wearing my pieces to such an important event.'
Chic: The Duchess wore pearls at her ears, subtle make up and pretty Alexander McQueen lace dress
Royal blush: Kate shone in the slim-fitting dress, her slender waist accentuated by the ribbon belt
Kate and William were welcomed at the cathedral today by hundreds of well-wishers who had gathered outside the cathedral ahead of today's service in which the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, will give the sermon to mark the Queen's 60 years on the throne.
The Duke of Cambridge wore a morning suit to today's service to mark the Diamond Jubilee.
As one of the senior royals, Kate walked alongside William down the long aisle of St Paul's cathedral just ahead of the Queen as the monarch arrived for today's service.
Just behind Kate and William walked the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cambridge, with the Queen making her way down at the back of the royal procession.
After the service the Queen will attend a reception at Mansion House while other senior royals including Charles and Camilla will attend a similar event at the Guildhall. At both events will be members of the thanksgiving congregation.
The Queen and her family will then attend a City of London Livery companies lunch at Westminster Hall.
Some 700 guests representing abundant trades and professions, ranging from grocers and gunmakers to fruiterers and fishmongers, will join for the tribute.
Prince William will be placed at the Engineers and Arbitrators table, while Kate will be joined by the Master Glovers and Pattenmakers, a body founded in the 17th century as a trade association for the makers of pattens - under-shoes of wood and metal which were worn strapped beneath the shoes to raise the wearer out of the mud on the streets.
Harry will be on the Fruiterers and Gardeners table. Among the vast range of participating Livery companies are the Worshipful Companies of Goldsmiths, Butchers, Innholders, Weavers, Distillers, Clockmakers and even Tax Advisers.
Guests will dine on marinated Uist Island salmon with Lyme Bay crab, followed by saddle of Welsh Cambrian Mountain lamb with braised shoulder of lamb, grilled Isle of Wight asparagus, Jersey Royal potatoes and an aptly named Jubilee sauce.
Greeting: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are welcomed to St Paul's by the Lord Mayor of London
