Kate Middleton steps out in the snow in a £450 floral gown and BARE legs

Kate Middleton, 36, arrived at the National Portrait Gallery to unveil the Patron’s Trail and visit the “Victorian Giants” exhibition.

Forming the Gallery’s first Patron’s Trail, Her Royal Highness has selected images from the exhibition for which she has written personal captions that will be displayed alongside the photographs.

The pregnant duchess covered her baby bump with a floral dress.

She added nude heels and bravely wore her legs bare.

The £450 gown by British designer Orla Kiely featured a high velvet neck with a bib detail.

The dress had pink, yellow, blue and red flowers printed on a black and white polka dot background.

Kate was attending the exhibition Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography, opening to the public tomorrow.

She wore earrings by Kiki McDonough and a Jimmy Choo clutch bag.

Kate is the patron of the National Portrait Gallery amoung 15 other charities.

She appeared earlier today, when Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle appeared side by side at their first event together. 

The Duchess of Cambridge made her first official appearance as a four with her husband William, brother-in-law Harry and future sister-in-law Meghan at the event.

Her blossoming eight month baby bump was showed off in the high-neck princess line dress, which nipped in at the waist.
