Kate's lilac midi dress is perfect for the warmer weather

Looking pretty in pastels, back in June 2020, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in one of her most memorable summer dresses to date. Donning a lilac midi by Faithfull The Brand, Kate's floral number is perfect for warmer weather, and she loves to team it with her favourite pairs of espadrilles - thought to be the Russell & Bromley 'Coco-nut' wedges. Want to recreate her look for less? Marks & Spencer is selling a similar version for £39.50.
