Kate Middleton Just Pulled This Iconic Look Out of the Archives

There are times we look back at our past ensembles and immediately cringe. What were we thinking pairing that skirt with that top?! But Kate Middleton is such a style pro, she rarely steps out in something that she can't rewear weeks, months, or even years down the road. Case in point? The ruffled Alexander McQueen set she showed up in for the queen's last garden party of the season Wednesday in London. It was exact same look she wore to Prince George's christening, which, mind you, took place way back in 2013.

But considering how chic, polished, and timeless Kate's outfit is, it's not enough for her to wear it only once or even twice. The duchess teaches a valuable lesson here: when something works, it works and can totally be repeated — no matter how iconic or how many photos you took while wearing it.
