It was wonderful catching a glimpse of the Princess of Wales on Monday, as she paid a visit to the Evelina London Children's Hospital. The stunning royal donned a pristine white dress for the occasion, from one of her most-worn designers, Suzannah London.

The classic design, known as the 'Flippy Wiggle,' featured contrasting black buttons and a waist-defining belt. It's safe to say that this dress, which Kate first donned in 2019, is one of her most reached-for styles, as she's stepped out in it an impressive five times.

Kate has show her stance on fashion sustainability with this dress

Kate's choice to rewear the dress so many times publicly shows her strong sustainability stance when it comes to her wardrobe. Jen Graham, a charity shopper who has presented second-hand fashion segments on This Morning, agrees. "When even the royals rewear, relove, and reshare, it sends the strongest message that sustainability is the future of fashion," she told HELLO!.

Let's take a closer look at all the times Kate rocked this timeless style.
