No sign of nerves for Kate Middleton as she attended her first official solo engagement at the In Kind Direct charity reception.

Effortlessly gliding through the room of 30 gathered VIP guests, Kate wowed in a delicate aqua-hued Amanda Wakeley gown with sparkly detailing. Wearing her hair in her trademark half up-do with Chelsea blow-dry waves, Kate kept her make-up understated to compliment the look.

Filling in for her father-in-law the Prince of Wales who is currently out of the country on an official visit, Kate took to her role perfectly without Prince William by her side.

Clearly the start of more official solo engagements to come!
