Duchess Kate, 40, sported a mid-blue midi dress from New York-based brand Altuzarra which featured a white and black spotted print, mid-length sleeves, a subtle side-slit, button-front detailing, a V-neck and flattering feminine cut. She wore her silky brunette tresses down with a centre parting and opted for a natural makeup look.

It's not the dress' first appearance on the Duchess, who stepped out in the number back in 2016 during a visit to Stewards Academy in Harlow, Essex. During the trip, Kate and William learned more about the pressures faced by young people as part of their Heads Together campaign.

Duchess Kate looked beautiful in blue

With an eye-watering price tag of £1,728, the Aimee polka dot stretch-cady dress added another gorgeous ensemble to the Duchess' extensive summer archive. She teamed the dress with some nude high heels to make for a camera-ready aesthetic.

The dress, which was from the American designer's Pre-Fall 2016 collection, is unsurprisingly sold out everywhere – but that hasn't stopped us from finding a great lookalike.
