"  Kate Middleton attended a glamorous charity gala at the National Portrait Gallery in London last night, as a royal patron of the gallery should. The night&amp;#039;s dress code: &amp;quot;black tie with a hint of sparkle,&amp;quot; The Daily Mail says, and KMid brought enough sparkle to compensate for people who forgot to read their invitations properly. (There&amp;#039;s always someone.) Not that she&amp;#039;d be allowed to share the bejeweled wealth though \u2014 the chunky Cartier diamond necklace she paired with her midnight blue Jenny Packham gown was borrowed from the Queen&amp;#039;s jewelry collection. Specifically, it&amp;#039;s the &amp;quot;Nizam of Hyderabad&amp;quot; necklace, given to the Queen upon her wedding in 1947 by the then-ruler of Hyderabad, a former Indian state. Kate&amp;#039;s hair billowed just so, and she had a slight tan going on following her recent family holiday to Mustique. Here&amp;#039;s the glamorous look in full: Also, enjoy many of KMid&amp;#039;s other fashion wins in our handy flipbook. Follow Alex on Twitter.
