Future princess Rajwa Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif wore a stunning, and VERY similar £1,500 Costarellos dress for the announcement of her wedding to Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan.

And it's not the first time a fellow royal has taken inspiration from Duchess Kate's engagement look!

Let's just say Duchess Kate's iconic blue dress is definitely back on our radars.

Unfortunately the Issa dress is long gone (and that Costarellos gown is quite an investment) but we’ve found some fab lookalikes from Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, ASOS and more for a royal-inspired look that is a perfect statement piece for autumn.
