The black bodycon number boasted a beautiful bardot neckline in a contrasting shade of white, a figure-flattering bodice and an elegant fishtail cut.

Duchess Kate loves to make designer pieces her own and is known for her thrifty outfit repeating and clever use of colour.
Earlier this week, the mother-of-three – who shares children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with the Duke of Cambridge – donned a bespoke Emilia Wickstead coat dress to attend the Queen's garden party at Buckingham Palace.
