If anyone is going to absolutely nail a $11,000 dress, it's Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
She sported a sleeved lace frock by London-based designer Temperley to a fundraising gala at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
She teamed the floor-length gown with a pair of $14,000 ruby and citrine earrings by Kiki McDonough, along with a gold Wilbur & Gussie clutch and metallic Jimmy Choo heels.
