Eagle-eyed fans knew where they'd seen Kate Middleton's polka-dot dress immediately, once this still of Prince Louis, Prince Charles, and the duchess made the rounds. It was at Meghan Markle's royal wedding, and actress Abigail Spencer was the one who wore it. Abigail made an entrance by Priyanka Chopra's side in May, showing off the drop-waist design by Alessandra Rich with a crystal belt and netted fascinator. But it appears Kate styled the number as is, letting her curls fall to the Peter Pan collar, the one little detail that — working in tandem with the cuffs — makes this midi so unique.
Funnily enough, Pippa Middleton even wore the same silhouette to Prince Louis's christening, just in plain blue! While the original piece, which retailed for over $1,400, is now sold out, we did some digging and found plenty of similar looks, should you feel inspired. Whether you want to belt it like Abigail or keep things simple like Kate might just depend on the occasion you're shopping for, but 20 bucks says you already have one on the calendar, and this dress is calling your name.
Her fans recognized it immediately when the photo still was released.
Abigail belted the drop-waist design when she attended Meghan Markle's May 2018 wedding as one of the well-dressed guests.
She styled the pleated dress with silver ankle-strap heels, a netted fascinator, and a box clutch.
