Duchess Of Cambridge Wears Alexander McQueen Dress To Anna Freud Centre Christmas Party

Duchess Of Cambridge Nails The Festive Red Dress Trend

The Duchess of Cambridge chose to wear this season's hottest Christmas party trend - the little red dress - to a festive event.

She donned an old favourite for the family school Christmas party at the Anna Freud Centre in Hampstead, North London. The Centre provides specialist help for children and young people with mental health problems.

The scarlet Alexander McQueen dress was custom made for Kate by the label's creative director Sarah Burton, based on a sleeveless design from the pre-fall 2011 collection.

McQueen is one of Kate's favourite labels - she famously wore Burton's designs on her wedding day and for Princess Charlotte's christening - and she is particularly fond of this pleated dress having previously worn it on a number of high profile occasions:
