Every time Kate Middleton has recycled her outfit

As one of the most photographed women in the world, you’d be in inclined to think that Kate Middleton would have a brand new outfit every time she stepped out in public.

And while this is true of many Duchess-approved occasions, it’s become a well-known secret that the mother of three is fairly thrifty when it comes to her wardrobe options —and loves to recycle her favourite outfits from time to time.

Whether it is one of her many Alexander McQueen coat dresses, or perhaps her go-to Jenny Packham evening gown, the Duchess of Cambridge is no stranger to re-wearing her best looks — after all, the woman knows what works for her!

From brightly hued dresses to jacket styles she can’t get enough of, we’ve rounded up every time the Duchess has dipped into her closet for a second (or third — or fourth!) time around to serve up even more sartorial inspiration.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in on-trend polka dots in May 2019 for an engagement at Bletchley Park to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

This is the second time the duchess has worn the Alessandra Rich midi dress with contrasting white cuffs and pleated skirt.

The first time the duchess wore it was for an official family portrait released in November 2018 in honour of Prince Charles's 70th birthday.

Middleton isn't the only fan of the dress, Suits actress, Abigail Spencer — who plays “Scottie” on the show — wore the same Alessandra Rich dress to attend Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's May 2018 wedding.

The dress has also drawn comparisons to a dress worn by Princess Diana in the '80s, proving polka dots never go out of style.
