It has been a busy year for Kate Middleton.
As well as announcing her second pregnancy, the Duchess of Cambridge has been busy jetting off on royal tours to Australia, New Zealand and New York, as well as attending numerous charity events and engagements.
And, even though she has been suffering with debilitating morning sickness throughout 2014, she hasn't let her sense of style slip once.
Here we round up her most memorable and talked about outfits of the year.
1. MAGNIFICENT IN MIDNIGHT BLUEKate lit up the National Portrait Gallery's fundraising gala evening in February in a chic gown by Jenny Packham.
The thrifty Duchess made sure she got her money's worth out of this £2,000 dress by wearing it to two further occassions throughout the year.
Kate's eye-catching statement necklace was loaned to her by the Queen.
2. ELEGANT IN EMERALD
The Duchess laughs with officers as she attends the St Patrick's Day parade at Mons Barracks.
Looking very regal and on point in a Hobbs coat and matching Gina Foster hat, Kate presented the officers with shamrock sprigs that were the same hue as her outfit.
3. ROYAL RED
This was the first official photograph of Kate, William and Prince George's three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand.
However, as they arrived at Wellington Airport after 30 hours of flying, there appears to be no sign of jetlag.
Kate chose a buttoned coat by London-based label Catherine Walker & Co and a matching Gina Foster pill box hat.
Suede shoes by British brand Emmy and a diamond and platinum silver fern brooch completed her look.
4. BEAUTY IN BLACK
Choosing one of her favourite designers for an art unveiling ceremony at Government House in Wellington, Kate wowed in bespoke Jenny Packham.
A silver fern - the country's national emblem - was embroidered around the left shoulder.
5. AQUAMARINE DREAM
Kate rules the runway as she walks across the tarmac at Dunedin International Airport in New Zealand.
Created by New Zealand-born, London-based designer Emilia Wickstead, the aquamarine dress compliments the Duchess' enviable figure and golden skin tone.
Milliner Jane Taylor ensured that her hat matched the dress perfectly.
6. ANYTHING BUT MELLOW IN YELLOW
This vibrant look didn't go down too well with Prince William with the Duchess revealing, "William said I look like a banana."
However, we adore this bright yellow bespoke Roksanda Ilincic dress that Kate wore to Sydney's Royal Opera House.
A chic clutch and signature L.K. Bennett nude heels complete the bold look.
7. IT'S A WRAP
Kate showed that she's not afraid to experiment with pattern as she steps out in a bold Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress.
The £292 Patrice frock in ikat batik print was suitably spring like for a visit to Echo Point in the Blue Mountains.
Paired with her Stuart Weitzman ‘Corkswoon’ wedges and navy clutch bag, the Duchess looks effortless.
8. FABULOUS IN FLORAL
The outfit is textbook Kate.
For a busy day at the Royal Australian Air Force Base in Amberley, she chose this blue poppy-dappled dress by British high street favourite, L.K. Bennett.
Kate finished the outfit with sapphire and diamond drop earrings and a necklace by Mappin & Webb.
9. ARISE MCQUEEN KATE
The Duchess wowed crowds at Sydney’s St Andrew's Cathedral in an elegant dove grey coat by Alexander McQueen.
A statement headpiece, courtesy of Jane Taylor, and some comfortable L.K Bennett 'Harper' courts completed her immaculate ensemble.
All this time spent Down Under has also helped Kate develop a healthy golden glow.
10. CHIC IN NAVY
For an Anzac Day memorial service the Duchess opted for a navy tweed coat dress by Michael Kors.
The fluid hemline, lapels and pocket detailing keep this smart look interesting.
11. COCKTAIL HOUR
The Duchess decided to ditch the coat dresses and smart frocks for a more playful look while attending a reception at Government House.
The white cocktail dress by Texas-born designer Lela Rose was refreshing and unique.
Kate pinned her long locks up into a chic chignon and finished the look with diamond jewels.
12. THRIFTY DUCHESS
The Duchess first wore this Alexander McQueen dress to St Paul's Jubilee Service in 2012.
She decided to recycle the glamorous look for a Buckingham Palace garden party earlier this year, teaming the cream lace dress with a Jane Taylor hat, nude heels and a Russell & Bromley clutch.

The Duchess dresses down!
Casual Kate rocks a Sixties vibe with a classic Breton top, skinny jeans and loafers while attending the Jerudong Trophy polo match.

She first showcased this ensemble during a tour of Birmingham in August 2011.
15. PRETTY IN PINK
For a trip to visit school children in Islington, North London, the Duchess experimented with a never-before-seen hairdo.
