Kate Middleton stunned onlookers wearing a high-necked Roland Mouret gown with a thigh-high slit and glimmery Jimmy Choos.

Accompanying Prince William to the swank Claridge's Hotel in Mayfair for a private function, Kate Middleton stole the show in her cream gown with the slit reaching her thighs. The couple was attending a meeting at the Thrity Club, a congregation of many media players.

"The dress, believed to be a design by Roland Mouret, had a demure high neckline, was teamed with crystal-studded Jimmy Choo Vamp sandals that revealed crimson-painted toenails. The Duchess carried a diamante clutch bag that matched her shoes and sported a pair of chandelier-style diamond earrings," described the Daily Mail.

The last time Kate wore a Roland Mouret was while touring North America in 2011. She had worn Jimmy Choos in Los Angeles red carpet as well. Kate wore the diamond earrings for a fundraising event at St James' Palace last November.

"The Duke has been invited for around nine years now and thought that it was right. Other senior members of the Royal Family also suggested that it was an interesting event to attend," a St James's Palace spokesman said.

It was interesting to see Kate wear high heels this time after famous shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood criticised her for "playing safe with footwear".

"She just wears too much high street stuff. I know she's trying to be democratic, but I don't know how many pairs of LK Bennett you can wear. She does occasionally come out and is wearing McQueen or something like that. It's like, 'Do that more! You're meant to be a princess-y type of person, so act like one'," Kirkwood said.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye Dating - Just in case you were under the illusion that Kim Kardashian chooses her mates based on love, Hollywood Life would like to break out of your bubble: Kim can't stand Kanye West – at least according to an "insider" close to her soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries!

According to the infallible font of celebrity gossip, Kim Kardashian is "100 percent acting like she's in love with Kanye West." And how do they know that? Because during her 72-day marriage with New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries, she was throwing shade on him non-stop!

"Team Humphries is convinced that Kim's feelings about Kanye are fake," Hollywood Insider wrote.

"You can't say the things Kim has said about Kanye to people when she was with Kris," the source told HL, "and then want to be in a relationship with the person that she thinks those things about." (A poet, this source is!)

The insider claimed that Kim is "definitely taking a bullet for her career," and that "having a romance with Kanye" is just a way to "reach a new fan base and to give the media something new [to] write about." (Wait, I guess that's us...?!?!)

Despite Kanye rapping about how he wants to put Kim "in a white dress," this isn't the first time there have been rumors that their relationship is just for show. (Which, when you think about Kanye's unimaginative of "in a white dress" and "in a white dress" on his new single "Way Too Cold," isn't that surprising!)

Back in April, Hollywood Life, the same site where the latest rumor originated, claimed that it had a source who said that the two K-named stars are ""are equally using each other to expand their own personal interests/brands rather than fall in love."

"If they are in the same area, they are going to hook up," the source told the esteemable gossip rag, Hollywood Life, about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. "But they are not going to take the relationship to the next level and become exclusive with each other."

And, it should go without saying, they do appear to be availing themselves of each other, sexually. Rumor is that two photos featured on MediaTakeOut three weeks ago were of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The first shows a mid-action shot of a man, who MediaTakeOut claims is Kanye West, engaging in sodomitical relations with a large-bottomed woman, who many are speculating is none other than Kim K. herself. The second picture is a tighter but no less graphic shot, again depicting posterior insertion.

So then what is Kim doing introducing Kanye to her parents?! The two were spotted dining with the rest of the Kardashian clan at the Spice Market, a trendy restaurant in New York's Meatpacking District.

TMZ said that "Kanye and Kim were excited for the family gathering and the opportunity to show them just how great they are together" and that "the meeting went great, and the family thinks they make the perfect couple."

And, of course, this all contradicts what MediaTakeOut reported about their supposed breakup. It claimed earlier that Kanye had broken things off when Kim tried to bring cameras along to visit him while on tour. But, then again, MediaTakeOut has never been the most reliable narrator, and the photos of Kim and Kanye at Spice Market seem like pretty good evidence that the two are still on.

News of the relationship between two of the most narcissistic people in the world first broke when Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving Kanye West's house in the morning in the same clothing she was wearing the previous night when she went in. That same day, Kanye released a song in which he rapped about falling for Kim while she was still dating Chris Humphries.

Kanye's song "Theraflu" included the lyrics: "And I'll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the time she had fell in love with him / Well that's cool, baby girl, do ya thang / Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team."
