"   Today, Kate Middleton made her first official appearance of the year at the Portrait Gala at the National Portrait Gallery in London. (She&amp;#039;s already made an unofficial appearance in jeans, lugging baby George.) She chose a navy Jenny Packham gown that&amp;#039;s both a people-pleaser (it&amp;#039;s a repeat, and the public loves when Kate recycles outfits) and Queen-approved (its got a floor-sweeping hemline). And another part of Kate&amp;#039;s ensemble that gets a thumbs up from the Queen? Her super-blingy necklace. The sparkly Nizam of Hyderabad diamond necklace comes from HRH herself, a gift she received on her wedding in 1947.  If this is part of the Queen&amp;#039;s makeover plan, please sign us up, pronto.
