Every time we see Kate Middleton step out in yet another wonderful dress, our wardrobe-envy increases to levels we didn't even know existed. From her endless Wimbledon outfits (that always serve), to her custom Alexander McQueen wedding gown that had thousands of women reigniting their love with lace sleeves, no one does dresses quite like the Princess of Wales.
Kate Middleton's outfits tend to be a combination of designer and high street pieces - just look at her under £100 & Other Stories floral print dress or the £30 pair M&S trainers she wore a few years back, which - as you would expect - sold out within days. Luckily, this summer, M&S dresses have been a hit, and we couldn't help but notice that a handful of the new season pieces look suspiciously similar to the ones we spotted on the Princess of Wales. The best part? They aren't sold out - yet.

The White Polka Dot Dress
At what can only be described royal event of the summer, Ascot, the Princess of Wales reminded us why she's the queen of sartorial elegance. Stepping out in an ensemble we can only describe as straight out of a 1950s Hollywood classic, the Princess sported a whimsical white and black polka dot dress. Paired with a chic matching hat and tan court heels from Emmy London, her outfit was a masterclass in race-day fashion.

This polka dot dress looks almost exactly like the one Middleton wore to Royal Ascot back in 2022. Featuring similar elements like a waist-nipping belt, a flowy midi-length skirt and long sleeves, you can get your hands on a dress that we know would be royalty-approved.
The Baby Blue Midi Dress
While attending a charity event last year, the Princess opted for a blue and white patterned summer dress from Beulah London that was nothing short of a summer dream. With its delicate floral print and billowy sleeves, the dress was the epitome of English countryside chic. Styling the dress with gold jewellery and nude heels, the Princess' look was both timeless and refreshingly modern.

New to M&S, it's hard not to see resemblances between this one and Kate Middleton's ditsy blue midi dress. Featuring a floral design that's fit for both a picnic and afternoon tea, this dress is also complete with a flattering cinched waist and ruched short sleeves.
The Black Polka Dot Dress
The Princess of Wales turned heads as she flaunted a navy polka dot dress from one of her go-to designers, Alessandra Rich to the Wimbledon's Men's Singles Finals. Her outfit was the perfect match for the grandeur of Wimbledon, especially when paired with some classic slingback heels. As she mingled with the crowds and presented the trophy, the Princess' choice not only celebrated the traditional roots of the sport, but also added a touch of whimsical sophistication to the prestigious event.

It may not have been designed by Alessandra Rich, but this vintage-inspired dress features feminine ruffles throughout, along with a classic V-neckline and a maxi length. Take notes from the Princess and style with a pair of court heels.
The Green Midi Dress
In a vision of elegance, the Princess of Wales stepped out to honour Mental Health Week. The dress, with its sophisticated tailoring and subtly cinched waist, only emphasised her always poised demeanour. To finish the look she added her much-loved slingback heels and some chunky silver earrings.

Green is a staple in the wardrobe of the Princess of Wales, and it could now be in yours too. This dress is cut from pure cotton, with a more structured button-through bodice and neat collared neckline - much like Middleton's. It also has extremely similar puffed shorts sleeves for an extra dash of elegance.
