Samantha Cameron just wore a carbon copy of Princess Kate's most famous dress

On Tuesday, the stunning Samantha Cameron hosted a dinner to celebrate her new AW24 collection. As she presented her new offering, we couldn't help but notice A) what a stunning dress she was wearing, and B) How remarkably similar it looked to the Princess of Wales' dress she wore back in 2022, by now defunct British label The Vampire's Wife.

Samantha, who is affectionately called 'Sam Cam' by many, donned her 'Irina Silk Blend Bias Cut Maxi Dress' in a burgundy shade and the beautiful fabric positively shimmered in pictures that appeared on social media.

The glistening number costs £380 and the website says of the style: "Bringing Studio 54 glamour to our Winter 24 collection, the best-selling Irina dress is back and ready to party in a glittering silk-blend lamé. Soft and slinky with a beautiful drape, Irina has a flattering bias-cut skirt and V-neck collar which can be tied up or left loose. Be demure and stylish with an elegant sling-back or go all-out with statement earrings and a platform heel."

The Princess of Wales wore a dazzling dress that looked highly similar in 2022. On the third day of the Caribbean Tour, the wife of Prince William went to a reception at the Governor General of Belize in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and her outfit was seriously show-stopping.

The royal mother-of-three turned to high end label The Vampire's Wife to dress her.

She had worn the UK-based company before, coincidently on the royal tour of Ireland back in 2020. Kate's floor-length maxi dress was made in a majorly sparkly, iridescent silk chiffon. We love the eye-catching ruffle trim and metallic finish; it totally stood out from the crowd.

Sam Cam's fashion influence

From Roksanda to Alessandra Rich, the fashion designer always looked incredible, which meant she was a prolific figure in the style pages of all the biggest fashion magazines at the time, giving her serious fashion credentials.
