We are such a fan of Kate Middleton at Nip+Fab HQ and absolutely loved her look for her most recent public appearance . Straying from her usual bouncy blowdry, Kate went for a chic updo which really complimented the occasion and showed off her features perfectly. Stepping out of her comfort zone, Kate looked elegant with her elaborate braided chignon, leaving her sheer backless Jenny Packham dress on show for all to see.
