Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (AKA Kate Middleton) is never afraid of outfit repeating. While re-wearing our clothes on a loop is a sustainable and affordable necessity for most of us, many in the public eye choose to never be seen in the same thing twice. Not Kate, though.

We already know Kate loves to support the British high street - she has been photographed several times over the years wearing Zara, ASOS, Boden, and more. Just recently, she was seen re-wearing an old £139 Reiss dress from 2012.

In the below video clip shared to the Kensington Royal Instagram account, we can see a glimpse of Kate's smart blue dress. She accessorised with a black belt, a simple pendant necklace, and her polished waves.

Interestingly, Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, has also been photographed in the same Reiss dress before. Carole wore the dress to Ascot in 2010, and then Kate wore it to give her first public speech in 2012. The mother-daughter duo has mentioned in interviews that they like to share clothes sometimes, so it's a possibility that this dress is a shared item.

Here is a look at Kate's dress:

As it's an older model, the exact one is no longer available - but Reiss still stocks plenty of smart blue dresses. If you're feeling inspired by the Duchess, take a look at our picks from the Royal-approved brand below.
