The Duchess of Cambridge hit the red carpet in London this evening for the World premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob. The movie tells the real-life story of a homeless busker James Bowen whose life was turned around by a stray ginger cat.

Before the premiere, the Duchess made a visit to the Working Title Films production company for a special screening of The Recovery Street Film Festival which features films made by former addicts and their loved ones about life in recovery from addiction.

Kate attended both events in her capacity as patron of Action On Addiction, a charity that helps those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse as well as their family and friends.

On the red carpet at the Curzon Mayfair theatre, the Duchess met the film's cast and crew including the feline star of the show, Bob.

Tonight, Kate continued her run of experimenting with new labels. She debuted an off-white maxi dress by Self-Portrait, a London-based brand loved by American celebrities including Beyonce, Olivia Palermo and Paris Hilton.

The US$640 gown from the label's Resort 2016 collection features a sheer crotchet bodice with a high neckline and modesty panel. A grosgrain band accents the waist and the pleated crepe skirt is finished with a sexy high side slit.

The popular label was founded by Han Chong, a graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school. The school's alumni boasts some of Kate's favorite designers including Alexander McQueen and Christopher Kane. Chong logged a good decade working at other fashion labels before launching Self-Portrait in 2013. Lace is a signature element of his designs and contemporary femininity runs through his collections. You can find the brand at UK's leading retailers including ASOS, Shopbop, MatchesFashion, MyTheresa, and Selfridges.
