Eagle-eyed royal fans may remember Kate famously wore an exceptionally similar gown by the same brand when on tour in 2022 in the Caribbean. Unlike Helen's, Kate's bespoke version featured ephemeral flutter sleeves, a waist-cinching belt and no ruffles.

The pink number was a vibrant contrast to Helen's latest red carpet looks where she has been spotted donning multiple all-back numbers in recent weeks.

Last month, Helen stepped out for the Princes Trust Awards. Helen wowed fans in a killer black suit with unique shoulder detailing. The star wore a bold red lip and allowed her brunette locks to flow down past her shoulders.

The mother-of-two was also spotted paying a royal visit to one of the King's garden parties. This Time, Helen opted for a brilliant white outfit that was comprised of a strapless tailored top and calf-length skirt. 

Captioning a photo of the day, Helen penned: "Palace garden party fun."

When she's not gracing the red carpet with a stylish look, Helen is the doting mother to her two daughters, Lark and Wren, whom she shares with her ex, Jack Ashton.
