Sticking to the Olympics theme, Kate wore an electric blue dress by Stella McCartney, who has also designed the Team GB uniforms for London 2012.

Kate topped off her look with a statement gold hoop necklace and a pair of Prada heels.

The Duchess is patron of the National Portrait Gallery and her first solo public engagement, sans Prince William, was there back in February.

She also has a formal role with the Olympics as an ambassador for Team GB and ParalympicsGB.
