Like any bride wanting to look her best, Kate Middleton appears to have shed a few pounds ahead of her big day. Looking more slimline than ever, the future Royal was joined by Prince William on their last official engagement together before the royal wedding, braving the rain to attend the opening of a school in Darwen, Lancashire.
Kate, holding her own oversized black umbrella, opted for a subtle but notable sartorial transformation. Joining the ranks of predecessors including Diana and Jackie O, she wore a smart navy blue fitted jacket, matching skirt and high heels - a look that cements her status as style queen. Her hair was styled half up half down amid recent speculation that this could be the look she chooses on her wedding day.
