The Duchess of York looked elegant as she stepped out on Thursday night for The British Forces Foundation's 25th Anniversary Ball at Raffles London in a dress that may look familiar to royal fans.

Sarah Ferguson, 65, was seen wearing a stunning black form-fitting evening gown that skimmed the floor with a white caped detail over the shoulders.

The Safiyaa gown was teamed with gold drop earrings as the mother of two posed alongside Princess Alexandra of Kent's granddaughter Zenouska Mowatt. Sarah also wore a simple beaded headband in her auburn locks.

The outfit was almost identical to the gorgeous Roland Mouret dress the Princess of Wales wore to the Royal Performance of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022.

Kate, 42, teamed the figure-flattering dress with a pair of Robinson Pelham earrings worth a staggering £10,500.

A royal re-wear

The last time the royal was seen in the fabulous designer dress was at the Knights Of Charity Gala photocall at Chateau de la Croix des Gardes in Cannes in 2019.

On this occasion, Princess Eugenie's mother teamed the gown with full-length black gloves and a micro bag.

Royal style lookalike

The Duchess loves a caped look similar to the colour-blocked dress she wore on Thursday night. 

In September, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew flew to Sweden for the Perfect World Foundation's Honorary Conservation Award ceremony where she chose a forest green caped gown, the 'Sarita' style from Safiyaa.

The Princess of Wales wore a similar style in teal to The Royal Variety Performance last November.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle has also been known to rock a caped Safiyaa dress.
