On Monday, Kate Middleton donned one of her sexiest looks in months at the "Night of Heroes" military awards event at London's Imperial War Museum.

With a dashing, tuxedo-clad Prince William escorting her, the duchess of Cambridge stunned in a black, strapless velvet gown by Alexander McQueen, the label behind her iconic wedding gown (and a second reception gown, too).

For the gala, which honors military servicemen and servicewomen, Kate, 29, also donned private jewelry that she received as wedding gifts. She wore her hair down in her trademark loose, glossy waves. (Despite plenty of pregnancy speculation, the beaming future queen looked slim as ever for her big night out.)
