    See the shoe Kate picked to wear during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations designed by a student from De Montford University

    She is a worldwide style icon who has the ability to clear the high street rails by wearing something once, so it's fair to say Kate Middleton knows a thing or two about fashion.

    The Duchess of Cambridge turned fashion judge when she was tasked with choosing a winning shoe design that will eventually be made for her to wear during the Jubilee celebrations.

    The Duchess chose a 19th century inspired royal blue shoe created by Becka Hunt. The delighted 20-year-old student said: 'I really just can't believe it. I'm overwhelmed.

    'She came over and said she loved all the designs. I cannot believe I've been chosen.'
