Princess Kate Rewears This Perfect White Dress for Summer
For her return to the Order of the Garter, Princess Catherine also brought about the return one of her chicest wardrobe staples.
Last year, the Princess of Wales missed the annual ceremony as she underwent preventative chemotherapy, having announced that past March that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was taking a break from royal duties. Now, with her treatment finished, Kate has returned to formal engagements, with her most recent appearance being at the Garter service this morning, held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Princess Kate attended the Order of the Garter service on Monday, June 16.
For the event, the royal fittingly chose one of her most angelic ensembles—a dreamy white dress from Self-Portrait, which royal followers may recognize, as she’s worn the piece to a number of events in the past, from the 80th anniversary VE Day concert in May to the Platinum Jubilee Party back in 2022.
For the event, the royal rewore a stunning cream dress from Self-Portrait.
The cream design consists of a bouclé belted jacket layered over a pleated midi skirt with a delicate sheer top layer that features intricate floral lace decorating the scalloped bottom hem.
Kate has worn the look on a number of occasions, including the VE Day concert this past May.
To match the dress, Kate added a slanted, wide-brimmed hat in off-white with a bow decorating the top. She also carried a small, eggshell-colored clutch and completed the look with a pair of camel Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, seemingly the same pair she wore to Trooping the Colour just a couple days prior. As for accessories, the royal went classic with a stack of pearl necklaces, while popping on some cluster pearl earrings to match, both of which came from Susan Caplan.
To complete her look, Kate went with a few pearly accessories.
The Princess of Wales first debuted this dress back in 2021, when she hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to honor all those who had helped on her Hold Still photography project. Currently, the exact dress is sold out, but you can find similar designs online, or mini versions that are perfect for the start of summer.
If there’s one thing Kate always understands, it’s the power in rewearing a perfect statement piece.
