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?

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.

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.

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.

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
