Duchess Kate's impeccable sense of style was showcased in the elegant bardot number. Complete with a column-style design, a sleek white band across the bodice and floor-length skirt, her monochrome ensemble set the scene for an evening with Hollywood's finest - and royal fans might recognise her dress for a surprising reason.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, who is also known for her immaculate fashion sense, previously wore a jumpsuit crafted by the same designer in 2017.

Looking strikingly similar to the Duchess' 'Lamble' off-the-shoulder dress, Queen Maxima's trendy jumpsuit featured the same elegant neckline synonymous with Roland Mouret's feminine design.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were the epitome of elegance

While Kate opted for pointed-toe heels, Queen Maxima amped up the glamour of her wide-leg trouser jumpsuit with strappy open toe design. The royals also opted for different hairstyles to accentuate their décolletage.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore her glossy brunette tresses in a sleek, straightened style, while Queen Maxima teased her blonde locks into a sophisticated chignon.

The Duchess also made an alteration to her red carpet dress, removing a sheer panelling from the back and replacing a statement gold zip with a seamless black fastening to make the gown more modest and timeless.

It's not known whether Queen Maxima altered her wide leg jumpsuit when she attended the opening of the new season of the Concertgebouw orchestra, though it is understood her jumpsuit did not feature the daring sheer panel in the same way Kate's 'Lamble" dress did.
