Kate Middleton married Prince William on 29 April

Kate Middleton secured her place as Style Queen when she met the Obamas at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

Prince William's bride championed the British high street for the occasion, showing off her ultra slim figure in a sophisticated Reiss bandage dress which retails for £175.

Kate, 29, paired her nude Shola frock - which has since sold out and crashed the fashion house's website - with a pair of black LK Bennett court shoes and accessorised with nothing more than a simple black clutch.

The Duchess of Cambridge truly trounced Michelle Obama in the style stakes.

America's 5ft 11in First Lady wore a fussy Barbara Tfank £1,400 prom-style dress under a baby pink bolero.
