Hey there, royal watchers! Was it just us, or did Kate Middleton’s outfit at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding feel like déjà vu? Many of us thought it was a recycled dress, but turns out, we were mistaken about the Duchess of Cambridge’s look. Let me break it down for you.
It seems a sharp-eyed fan, Royal Addicted, noticed the difference. The dresses may look incredibly similar—both crafted by Alexander McQueen—but Kate wore a completely different dress for her brother-in-law's wedding last month. The new frock wasn’t cream; it was actually a primrose yellow. Plus, it had a subtle yet distinct feature: a row of four buttons on the cuffs. These little details make all the difference, don’t they?

On Saturday, May 19, during the wedding, Kate wore what we initially thought was her off-white Alexander McQueen coat dress, but it turned out to be the primrose yellow one. She accessorized it with a fascinator in the same color, featuring large white roses. She also wore nude pumps. Considering that she had just given birth to her third child less than a month prior, the 36-year-old looked absolutely radiant in this ensemble.
A Look Back at Kate's Style Evolution
Kate has worn a similar outfit before, which is why many of us thought it was a repeat. Back in July 2015, she wore a very similar dress for her daughter Princess Charlotte's christening. On that occasion, she paired the dress with a matching fascinator adorned with flowers and nude pumps. However, her hairstyle was slightly different; she wore her hair in a low side bun, as opposed to leaving it down for the wedding.
Other Notable Appearances in the Off-White Dress
But wait, there’s more! Kate also wore the off-white version of this dress at the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in July 2017. For that event, she paired the outfit with gray pumps instead of nude ones. And let’s not forget the Trooping the Colour in 2016, where she was seen waving on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with Princess Charlotte in hand. For that occasion, she accessorized the off-white dress with a pink fascinator.
Each time Kate steps out in an Alexander McQueen creation, she looks absolutely stunning. But here’s the real question: are you convinced that she wore a brand-new outfit for Meghan and Harry's wedding?
