Kate wins fashion gold in recycled dress

Thousands of celebrities have descended on London for the Olympic Games, but the Duchess of Cambridge is still the most stylish of them all.

Kate sent photographers into a frenzy when she attended a cocktail party in Piccadilly last night dressed in a dove grey dress by Roksanda Ilincic.

The Duchess teamed the frock – which she first wore in Los Angeles last year – with neutral accessories, large diamond earrings and an elegant chignon.

Her hair caused its own sensation, as Kate rarely wears it up, preferring her trademark loose waves.
