Last month, the stunning Duchess of Sussex looked absolutely gorgeous in a red Carolina Herrera pencil dress, with a plunging neckline. She lit up the red carpet at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles Gala and all eyes were on the dress of dreams.
We knew we had seen it before; Meghan actually wore the same style in 2021, not long after her and Prince Harry's daughter, Lilibet was born.

After all, Kate's been switching up her dresses for big events since 2011.
Kate's the revamp queen
Back in 2017, the 42-year-old wore a dazzling, off-the-shoulder gown by Alexander McQueen to the 2017 BAFTAs. The style featured a Bardot neckline, skimming bodice and full-length skirt with chic ribbon detailing and a gentle floral print.

Kate was at the Earthshot Prize Awards that year, and undoubtedly chose to rewear an existing dress for the environmentally-focused event as per the awards' dress code, which asked attendees to "consider the environment when choosing their outfit". The mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis appeared to have added a different sparkling belt to the look - this time it was silver and it gave the dress a whole new kick.
