The Duchess of Cambridge has left her baby son at home and frocked up for a glamorous charity gala in London.
While William stayed home at Kensington Palace with George, Kate donned a black laser-cut Temperley cocktail dress and matching five-inch Jimmy Choos and sashayed down the red carpet at the SportsAid SportsBall.
