When we spotted this pretty new season dress from River Island, we thought of two words: Kate Middleton!
The chiffon dress doesn’t just have the ladylike details, like statement ruffles at the collar and cuffs, that the Duchess of Cambridge seems to love. It’s also in a lovely shade of purple, a colour that the royal often chooses for some of her most high-profile events.

And if the dress reminds you of Kate, too, it’s probably because it’s similar to the gorgeous Stella McCartney look that the Duchess wore to Prince Harry and Meghan’s son Archie’s christening and has chic vibes like Kate's trend-inspiring purple Gucci pussy-bow blouse.
