It's only been a week since Kate Middleton returned to her royal duties after being on maternity leave, and she's already making statements. After having stunned in a simple look during a visit to the Sayers Croft Forest School, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out with Prince William to attend the Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit in London wearing a gorgeous lavender dress by Emilia Wickstead. Accessorized with Mappin & Webb jewelry, an Aspinal of London Mayfair bag, and a pair of neutral Gianvito Rossi pumps ($675), Kate's elegant outfit was a perfect fit for the important occasion.

Of course, royal fans will immediately recognize Kate's fit-and-flare midi dress, which she first wore in Germany during the 2017 royal tour she and her family took part in. Back then, she accessorized it with a red clutch by Anya Hindmarch and purple Kiki McDonough earrings and had an adorable mommy-and-me moment with Princess Charlotte, who was dressed in a cute little floral dress. Read on to get a closer look at both times Kate wore this Emilia Wickstead number, then shop similar dresses for yourself.
