Kate Middleton’s blue Elie Saab outfit is sold out: here are 5 similar to get the look

After the extravagance of King Charles III’s coronation celebrations, the Prince and Princess of Wales hosted a quintessentially British garden party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, to celebrate members of the public who make a positive impact.

For the occasion, Princess Kate proved she’s a recycled outfit queen and oozed femininity in a powder blue Elie Saab top and skirt, boasting a pussybow tie, sheer embellished sleeves and lace panelling.

She wore the exact same outfit to Royal Ascot in 2020, including the same Phillip Treacy hat and Elie Saab leather clutch bag.

Her Elie Saab look from yesterday's garden soiree is currently impossible to get hands on. But we’ve found five similar pieces to get the look:
