Topshop is back for 2025, and the fashion world is ready! Last week, fans headed over to Trafalgar Square to get a glimpse of their runway show, and it was quite the scene.

Kate Moss may not have been there (more on her later), but Cara Delevingne sat on the front row, and AW25 was in full swing, with colour block numbers,  winterwear staples, longline faux furs, and lots of slouchy tailoring.

Since then, though, millennials have been flocking to Vinted, eBay, and Depop, trying to hunt down original Topshop finds. Remember the Kate Moss Topshop range? Arguably, the most coveted celebrity collaboration of all time, these items are like gold dust now.

Searches for Kate Moss's collection has been high of late

"The return of Topshop ties into the noughties revival we have seen steadily increasing over the past couple of years. Topshop was a leader in the Y2K and indie sleaze aesthetic back in the 2000s and 2010s, and its archive pieces are now being seen as iconic, must-have vintage items as nostalgia for the brand and the style increases."

The Princess loved Topshop clothes

Another original Topshop icon is none other than the Princess of Wales. Yes, Prince William's wife loved a bit of Toppers back in the day, rocking not one but three dresses from the much-loved store, and trying to get them today is like passing a difficult mathematical exam with flying colours.

In 2013, Kate was seen at a bereavement centre wearing a lovely Topshop mini dress, which she had picked up for £46 at the time. It had a contrasting white Peter Pan collar and gave her a mod girl look.

Also in 2013, the royal wore a fabulous white and black polka dot dress when she accompanied William, and her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, to the Warner Bros. studios. Kate was pregnant with Prince George at the time, and her skater-style dress was perfect for complementing her baby bump. The short-sleeved frock featured a zip closure on the back, and the price tag was £38 at the time of purchase.

Kate's boho Topshop dress was an instant sellout

2016

In 2016, the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on their royal tour of India, and Kate rocked a gorgeous dress, designed in a stunning pink with intricate black embroidery. The £75 style sold out in minutes at the time, but some sizes are still available on preloved sites.
