The duchess' gown, a teal, pleated floor-length number with sheer lace at the shoulders and back, is by Jenny Packham, according to the Daily Mail. Her hair was styled in a braided chignon.

The black-tie event, called "Our Greatest Team Rises - BOA Olympic Concert," was held at London's Royal Albert Hall to mark the final countdown to the London 2012 games and raise funds to support Great Britain's team.

William, Kate and Prince Harry were named ambassadors for Britain's Olympic and Paralympic teams earlier this year. In March, the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to Britain's women's Olympic field hockey team during their training, and even showed off some of her own field hockey skills.

Great, I notice you didn't skip the opportunity to nail the reader/viewer with another shot of the royal balcony kiss. I'm so ###### sick of the royal peck I could throw up. The last time the MSM was so infatuated with an amorous gesture was the Clinton/Lewinsky hug. For months all you could see when you turned on the boob tube was the Lewinsky hug and cat food commercials. Please control your banality genes and spare me any more royal smooching. Would you promise? A rear view shot of Pippa will be just fine, though.
