Glowing: Kate wowed the world when she appeared outside the hospital

As the world watched on as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge presented their newborn baby girl to the world, there were many questions circling in people's minds.
What will the child be called? How many days late was she?
However, one question above all seemed to take hold of people - how did Kate look so good?

 

Cutie: The Princess of Cambridge was carried by dad William in a baby car seat outside the Lindo Wing

Just a few hours after giving birth to a bouncing baby girl, the Duchess of Cambridge was seen standing on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, looking immaculate.
Wearing a beautiful Jenny Packham dress and heels, and with her hair styled to perfection, Kate looked relaxed and beautiful.
Following her appearance,Twitter and other social networks were swamped with comments from fans complimenting her on her appearance - with many stunned she looked so good having given birth the same day.

One user, Millielouuise, posted: "How and why did Kate Middleton look so good after she had just given birth ? Some1 explain."
Another, Freddie Pearson, wrote: "How does Kate look that good when she just had a baby".
Part of the reason can be explained by the stunning yellow and cream floral dress she was wearing
The bespoke silk shift dress had a delicate buttercup print. Non-bespoke dresses by the designer brand cost between £2,000 and £3,000.
Her shoes were £360 Jimmy Choo Gilbert nude heels, while it is thought the Duchess also wore seven-denier nude non-slip tights, £5 from John Lewis’s Barely There range.

 

Beauty: Kate looked glamorous in yellow with Prince William and their newborn daughter

For make up, it has been reported that Kate used Bobbi Brown's £28 eye cream, a £23 concealer and £15.50 eyebrow pwoder.
She is also said to have used a £15 lip liner pencil and £18 blush-pink lipstick from Peter Jones department store in Chelsea.
Her nails were painted with a natural, clear colour - probably using a mixture of Essie’s Allure £9.95 polish and Bourjois’ So Laque £5.99 ultra-shine nail enamel.
Kate's hairdresser was also seen going into the Lindo Wing in the hours before she appeared with William on the steps of the hospital.

 

Stylist: Amanda Cook Tucker was seen going into the hospital after the baby was born

Amanda Cook Tucker arrived at around 1pm - five hours before the Duchess of Cambridge appeared with her newborn child. She is paid £300 plus travel expenses for her services.
Others in 'Team Kate', who helped the royal through her pregnancy, and after giving birth include her husband William who brought their first-born child George to the hospital after the princess was born.
William was also in charge of co-ordinating the staff so they could alert the world's media.

 

Support: William has been on hand throughout the pregnancy

Kate's mum and dad were also on hand during the birth.
Mum Carole stayed over with her daughter during the pregnancy, while dad Michael was at home running the family business

Spanish nanny Maria Borrallo has become one of the most indispensable people in Kate and William's lives since she joined them a year ago.
Described as a "super nanny", the 44-year-old has become incredibly close to Kate and will have been looking after George during the birth.
She is set to become even more important as the royals have revealed they are not hiring another nanny but allowing aria to look after both children.

 

Trusted: Maria Borrallo is now an indispensable part of the family

Kate’s right-hand woman Rebecca Deacon visited her in hospital when Prince George was born to make sure she had everything she needed for her big exit and did the same this time around.
The smart brunette is officially tasked with organising Kate’s working diary but she has also become an indispensable support and a close friend.

William’s Private Secretary Miguel Head was also on hand during the birth.
The press team was hugely important with the world’s media camped outside and made sure the photo opportunity was done at the right time for the family.
Headed by Jason Knauf and Nick Loughran the team informed the world when the baby is born and helped hospital staff manage the throng of reporters, photographers and camera crews.
The doctors who delivered the princess, Guy Thorpe-Beeston and Alan Farthing, made sure Kate was relaxed and properly cared for throughout the birth.
And of course the amazing midwives Arona Ahmed and Jacqui Dunkley-Ben who were pictured on the steps of the hospital in the moments after the child was born.
The pair of midwives helped at the princess's birth while the team of male surgeons looked on.
It is believed that Kate wanted the birth to be monitored by midwives so while the male doctors waited in a nearby room, it was the red-uniformed nurses who were at her side.
