We are still reeling over the Duchess of Cambridge‘s incredible birthday portraits that celebrated her 40th. How utterly sensational did she look? We’re obsessed with the three stunning shots that featured the wife of Prince William wearing  arguably her favourite label, Alexander McQueen.

The dress that caught our eye the most was the red asymmetric satin gown she donned, complete with an off-the-shoulder neckline and dramatic balloon sleeve. How could we not love it? It’s in HELLO’s signature shade, right?

Another pic saw Kate posing in another flowing, off-the-shoulder gown and wearing diamond and pearl earrings that belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales, her late mother-in-law. She also wears a three-strand pearl bracelet, also thought to be Diana’s. How special. Photographer Paolo Roversi was commissioned following a conversation between Kate and the National Portrait Gallery, of which she has been patron since 2012.
