The Princess of Wales' is recognized as one of the best dressed women in the world, enchanting royal style fans with her arsenal of tailored pieces, bespoke dresses and expert flair for formalwear.

Donald Trump's second-born daughter Ivanka most recently looked spellbinding in a glittering Jenny Packham gown formerly worn by Princess Kate. It's not the first time the American businesswoman has twinned with the royal, having matched her style several times over the years.
From rewearing Princess Kate's most-loved British designers to matching her accessories, Ivanka's style is no doubt inspired by the future Queen's sartorial elegance - but is it just coincidence? Scroll on to discover all the times Ivanka Trump was style twins with the Princess of Wales…

The Princess of Wales famously wore Jenny Packham's 'Embellished Margot Gown' to the World premiere of 'No Time to Die' in September 2021 and hit headlines as a glittering Bond girl rocking the now-iconic golden getup.

Clearly, polka-dots were the print of the season that year, as the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Ivanka Trump were seen wearing the same dress.

While her style is anything but beige, Princess Kate made a case for muted dressing when she donned a Max&Co camel overcoat, a knitted midi-length dress and a brown belt by Boden in November 2022. Ivanka is also a fan of monochrome dressing, having worn a similar getup elevated with chunky gold jewellery and oversized sunglasses.
