It's only been a week since the Duchess of Cambridge returned to her royal duties after being on maternity leave, and she's already making statements. After having stunned in a simple look [1] during a visit to the Sayers Croft Forest School, Kate stepped out with Prince William [2] to attend the Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit in London, wearing a gorgeous lavender dress by Emilia Wickstead. Accessorized with Mappin & Webb jewellery, the Aspinal of London Mayfair bag [3] (£695), and a pair of neutral pumps, Kate's elegant outfit was a perfect fit for the important occasion.
Of course, royal fans will immediately recognise Kate's fit and flare midi dress, which she first wore in Germany [4] during the 2017 royal tour she and her family took part in. Back then, she accessorised it with a red clutch by Anya Hindmarch and purple Kiki McDonough earrings, and had an adorable mummy-and-me moment with Princess Charlotte, who was dressed in a cute little floral dress. Read on to get a closer look at both times the duchess wore this Emilia Wickstead number, and then shop similar dresses for yourself.
