Unwavering support
Nick Barton, chief executive of Action on Addiction, said: “The Duchess of Cambridge has shown unwavering support of the charity and we are delighted that our patron is able to attend the Autumn Gala Evening.

"We are enormously grateful that Her Royal Highness has helped us to keep addiction very much in the spotlight by her involvement to help reduce the stigma surrounding the condition.

"The charity’s mission is to free people from addiction and we hope this evening will help us to make further progress in achieving that aim.”

The Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, made her third outing this week, joining a gala dinner for Action on Addiction.

The pregnant royal, who is expecting her second baby with Prince William next April and has been suffering heavily from morning sickness, looked gorgeous in a Temperley London black knee-length dress.

The dress had cutout panels on the full-length sleeves and on-trend white crocheting throughout. The Duchess accessorised with black heels and a matching clutch.

Kate displays her growing bump as Duchess puts her morning sickness behind her in third public appearance since recovering from illness* | Daily Mail Online
The Duchess of Cambridge appeared to be through the worst of her antenatal sickness as she attended her third official engagement in as many days tonight.

Kate, 32, who is around 13 weeks pregnant with her second child, glowed with good health at an Autumn Gala Evening dinner and reception at L’Anima Restaurant on behalf of the charity, Action on Addiction.

Wearing a rather daring new black cocktail dress featuring slashed nude panels by Temperley London, with her long hair curled and flowing, she walked along a pink carpet as she entered the award-winning restaurant.

During a pre-dinner reception the Duchess met charity supporters and heard a speech by Action on Addiction Chairman John Lloyd, followed by a performance by Comedian Rory Bremner.

Gorgeous. She always knocks it out of the park. Man, I've missed seeing her out!
 
She was asked about the baby's gender... I wonder who was the brave who asked that! :-D
 
I'm really not liking the dress she is wearing this evening ... what appears to be a white bra doesn't help either!

Praise for Kate
The charity Chief Executive Nick Barton said about Kate tonight: "It's been difficult for her, one appreciates that, so one appreciates her presence
tonight even more.

"She has put addiction into the spotlight and made it acceptable to be talked about.

"She loves talking to the people we actually help and she's so good with them and genuinely interested."

Oh yes, I always look forward to seeing her and love to see what she is wearing, I researched on of her coats because it was so darn beautiful, a red one she wore in Scotland, couldn't find it. She always looks like a lady something missing in the younger girls of today.

There is a DOC fashion thread, and this kind of stuff belongs there but try What Kate Wore and go back in the archives to find that red coat.
 
It's great to hear from the people that work/interact with Kate. Action is such a worthwhile charity, and I'm glad that she's involved and helping bring awareness.
 
I have to say, I'm not a fan of the black dress. I don't think black does anything for Kate, though I can appreciate she's trying to be more daring in her fashion choices. An up-do for the hair would make a bit of a change also.

Yeah, that kind of jumped right out at me, too. I really like the dress, the entire look actually -- if she would have paid a little more attention to that detail.:ermm:
 
Thank you Dman for having provided us this video!

I watched the video of ITV news: she really seem to have found new confidence and to speak more articulated than before... I've always thought she "shines" when she does solo engagements:she has noone to back on and can find her independence... at least IMO

I'm pretty sure that's just the underlining of the dress itself. It appears to have some sort of bodice/underslip to it. I don't think we're actually seeing her bra.
 
There is a white lining to the dress. You can see the color difference between the body of the dress and the sleeves. I think the white lining takes away from overall effect of the dress. But could you imagine the up roar if she had appeared in a dress like this without a lining.
