The Princess of Wales rarely puts a foot wrong with her outfit choices, and fares just as well with capsule wardrobe pieces as fabulous evening gowns.
Case in point? The Gabriela Hearst Marley dress she wore to meet Sir David Attenborough back in September 2020. The classic denim midi dress wouldn't look out of place in her wardrobe today - or likely in 10 years time - and if you're looking for a similar timeless style, I've found a gorgeous one at M&S.
- Marks & Spencer has dropped a Denim Pintuck Midi Column Dress for £45 as part of the new autumn collection
- It's similar to styles worn by Princess Kate for more casual royal engagements
- If your budget is higher, I love the Fleur Denim Dress from Boden (shop here in the US).
Browsing the new-in autumn collection at M&S, I came across a denim midi dress that's ideal for the new season. Made from pure cotton, it's lightweight and breathable, and it's cut with pinktucks that create a flattering, feminine silhouette.
Retailing for just £45, it's available in UK sizes 6-24 and three different lengths.
Kate styled her dress with heeled court shoes for the occasion, but I'd be more likely to wear mine with knee-high boots as we move into autumn.
If you have a higher budget, I love also this chic button-down style from Boden. It gets glowing reviews with one writing: "Really delighted with this dress. Good quality denim. Very stylish, feels smart and well designed. Can be dressed up or down."
Another said: "Stunning dress! Perfect fit, so versatile. Real Denim. Unique, love it!"
Princess Kate proved her affinity for denim dresses once again as she was spotted in a surprisingly affordable number from H&M back in 2024. She gave a rare glimpse into her life as she completed her chemotherapy treatment, sharing a personal family video with Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
