While The Duchess of Cambridge’s royal wardrobe regularly causes a fashion frenzy, there’s one midi dress that’s particularly memorable when it comes to ‘the Kate effect’.

Cast your mind back to 2018, when the 39-year-old royal wore the sell-out Alessandra Rich polka-dot shirt dress with a contrast collar, which retailed for £1,225, for Prince Charles’ 70th birthday portrait.

She re-wore this look a year later when she visited an exhibition at Bletchley Park, England, to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings on 14 May 2019.

The elegant number was then replicated by numerous high street stores and sold out swiftly at every single one.

Now, three years on, L.K.Bennett has released a very similar looking design – the Mathilde Navy & Cream Polka Dot Silk Tea Dress.

The Mathilde Navy & Cream Polka Dot Silk Tea Dress looks very similar to Kate’s stylish number.

The tea dress has been created from 100% silk, in a navy blue and white polka-dot print, with a contrast cream collar.

It also features long sleeves, and a slight puff sleeve, crystal buttons down the front and a pleat detail to the bust, with a flattering tailored waist.

This style comes in UK dress sizes 6 to 18, all of which retail for £350.

The duchess is not the only fan of L.K.Bennett as Holly Willoughby and fellow presenter Amanda Holden also currently have a penchant for the brand, both wearing the label this week. Holden opted for a rather Duchess-inspired polka dot jumpsuit.

Or, for those wanting to buy into the Duchess’ luxury look, Alessandra Rich has just bought out a new version of the memorable dress with short sleeves, which is currently available for £1,520 – but is already selling fast.
