The Princess of Wales wowed in new pictures at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Monday, as she stepped out with the royal family for King Charles' first Order of the Garter service as monarch.
Kate looked beautiful in one of her favourite designers Alessandra Rich, wearing a bespoke monochrome polka-dot midi dress with a high neckline teamed with her chic toe-cap heels from the same brand. The dress is a black and white version of the dress that the late Princess Diana's niece, Lady Eliza Spencer, wore to the Chelsea Flower Show back in May.
To complete her look, the Princess wore a statement Philip Treacy hat with feather detailing, teamed with Princess Diana's Collingwood Pearl Drop Earrings. As ever, she added natural makeup and a rosey-pink lipstick.

The Order includes the King, who is Sovereign of the Garter, the Queen, several members of the Royal Family, and 18 knights or ladies chosen in recognition of their work.

After images and videos circulated on social media, plenty of royal fashion fans reacted to Kate's look, which reminded many of elements of the late Queen Elizabeth's timeless fashion – as well as Princess Diana's.
"This is BEYOND stunning!!! That hat is to die for. Absolutely phenomenal and I love that it harkens back to the late Queen with the colour," one wrote on Instagram, while another added: "She looks absolutely flawless! I adore this colour and design. It actually reminds me of a jacket-skirt combo Diana had that had similar large ornate button detailing."
