Duchess Kate attended the second day of Royal Ascot, marking her first time attending the event since 2023. The Princess of Wales wore a lemon yellow Roksanda dress, which is actually a re-wear. Duchess Kate debuted the dress in 2022, and today marks her third time wearing it.
Duchess Kate returned to Royal Ascot today for the first time since 2023. The Princess of Wales chose a ribbon-embellished Roksanda dress in lemon yellow, a striking statement color, for the start of summer. She accessorized with a Jane Taylor London hat, Gianvito Rossi nude heels, Princess Diana’s Nigel Milne triple pearl bracelet, and Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond chandelier earrings.
If the princess’s dress looks familiar to royal fans, that’s because it actually is. The Duchess of Cambridge first performed the piece in March 2022 while in Jamaica on her royal tour, and rewrote it a few months later at Wimbledon that year. This is the third time she has worn a yellow look to an event.
Duchess Kate shows off her yellow Roksanda dress for the first time on March 22, 2022 in Kingston, Jamaica.
The Princess of Wales wears a Roksanda dress for the second time at Wimbledon on July 9, 2022.
Kate has long been known for rewearing. Last month, she made headlines when she wore a 2023 Roland Mouret suit to attend the University of East London.
The Princess of Wales has had a busy week. On June 15, she appeared at the Order of the Garter service wearing a custom butter yellow look by designer Patrick McDowell. Last May, Duchess Kate presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, an honor given by the British Fashion Council and the royal family to recognize emerging British talent.
On Saturday, she attended Trooping the Color wearing a pastel blue Catherine Walker coat with white trim and a Philip Treacy hat. She and her daughter Princess Charlotte shared a sweet mother-daughter moment as they wore matching pearl bracelets. Kate wore the same Nigel Milne triple pearl bracelet she wore today.
