The Princess of Wales' sartorial portfolio is seldom not one of our favourite talking points.
Whether she's recycling an old classic like her 2007 noughties jacket or stepping out in something new, the future Queen, 43, always gets it right.
One occasion that has particularly caught our eye of late is a stunning throwback look Kate rocked while dating Prince William. In 2006, Kate was the Belle of the ball attending Richard Branson's pre-Wimbledon party in 2006.

Highlighting her glowing sun-kissed legs, Kate slipped on a pair of black pointed-stilettos, accessorising her look with a small velvet handbag and a silver watch.

Meanwhile, her makeup was comprised of a naturally bronzed complexion, copious black kohl eyeliner and matching black mascara.
Kate's Chelsea-girl era
While going through the no-doubt on-again off-again era with her future royal beau, Prince William, Kate lived in a jaw-dropping £1.88 million Chelsea Apartment with her younger siblings, Pippa, 42, and James, 39.
James even talks about their former home in his book, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, revealing that Prince William even paid the home in SW3 a visit.

"Sometimes I'll be walking back to our flat late in the evening when an officer in a police protection car, parked discreetly up the road, alerts me to the fact that William is visiting, and Ella and I will make an extra lap of the block to delay our return."

He writes: "I still have a toehold in Edinburgh but spend more time in London now, where Pippa and Catherine are not too thrilled to have their little brother disrupting their orderly, tidy existence, strewing damp clothes over the bathroom floor, leaving unwashed crockery in the sink and letting Ella pad wet-pawed across the living room carpet."
He added: "But they bustle round in their kind, sisterly way, clearing up after their messy little brother with only the mildest of rebukes."
