Kate Middleton's style never misses a beat, even after just giving birth. The Duchess of Cambridge welcomed a baby boy [1] on April 23 and hours later made her postbaby appearance [2] in front of the hospital. She wore a red Jenny Packham three-quarter-sleeved dress with a lace peter pan collar and looked as sweet as ever. In true royal fashion, Kate wore her go-to Gianvito Rossi suede pumps [3] and, reportedly, wore pearl earrings that possibly belonged to Queen Elizabeth [4].
If you love the red dress, as we do, you might find the next part exciting, too. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that the color held a special significance [5]. The hue of Kate's outfit bore an uncanny resemblance [6] to Princess Diana's own red dress when she left the hospital with a then-baby Prince Harry in 1984. Like Princess Diana, we're not completely surprised Kate looked so put together as she presented her baby to the public. She's completely mastered maternity style [7] by now and has already made three truly unforgettable exits [8] from the hospital. Read on to see her look, then shop similar red dresses.
