The Princess of Wales has worn an endless array of stylish designer looks since marrying into the royal family in 2011.
However, Kate, now 42, was known to enjoy an evening out with her sister Pippa prior to her royal wedding and it appears her eye for an on-trend piece pre-dates her nuptials to Prince William.
In unearthed photos from February 2007, a 25-year-old Kate Middleton was spotted in a taxi with her sister, then 23-year-old Pippa heading to Mahiki, the ultimate noughties It-girl spot on London's Dover Road.
The Princess was spotted wearing a silver and yellow printed satin midi dress. The garment featured a V-neck neckline, spaghetti straps, and a floaty skirt.
The dress was accessorised with a layered necklace and an en vogue shoulder bag. The royal-to-be styled her brunette locks in a bouncy blowdry that has since become her most iconic look.

Meanwhile, the former Duchess of Cambridge's sister shared a joke with Kate in the cab in black stilettos to match the black bolero cardigan which was worn over her silky printed dress to match Kate's.
The Middleton sisters were spotted later that year when they attended the book launch party of The Young Stalin: The Adventurous Early Life Of The Dictator 1878-1917 by Simon Sebag Montefiore, at Asprey in London.
The mother of three opted for a sheer off-white lacy slip dress, while the now-wife of James Matthews wore a floral number with her go-to bolero.

It was, however, a tumultuous year for William and Kate as a couple. By this time, Kate and William had been dating for four years having previously shared a student house at St Andrews.

However, in 2007 the pair split twice - first in January and again in April. It has been reported that the future king felt they "needed space" to "find our own way".
They had reconciled by July and Kate was spotted at the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium.
