Marks & Spencer is selling a lookalike of this iconic Duchess of Sussex dress
M&S is selling yet another Duchess of Sussex-inspired dress and we want it!
We’re huge fans of the Duchess’ style, but not always of the hefty price tag that comes with it.
Thankfully, M&S have been providing shoppers with affordable ways to dress like Duchess of Sussex, including this latest replica dress inspired by the gown she wore at her first Trooping the Colour in 2018.
At the annual military celebration, the Duchess stunned onlookers as she arrived in a horse-drawn carriage wearing a pale pink, off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera dress and Philip Treacy fascinator.
While Carolina Herrera dresses fetch thousands of pounds, you can still get your hands on a similar shoulder-baring style for a fraction of the price from Marks and Spencer.
The M&S Off The Shoulder Bodycon Midi Dress is the ideal statement piece suitable for work or play. With a fitted design and three-quarter length sleeves, the dress hits your in all the right places while creating a sleek silhouette.

Although it isn’t available in Duchess Meghan’s baby pink shade, you can find it in a dazzling shade of red or a more pared down black.
With its dramatic v-neckline, we suggest accessorising it with gorgeous drop earrings and black or gold heels for an elegant yet standout ensemble you’ll wear for seasons to come.
The best bit? The dress costs a mere £59, making it another M&S bargain we’ll be adding to our wardrobes this year.

If you haven’t braved the off-the-shoulder style, autumn is the ideal time to start as it's the perfect neckline when you want to reveal a little skin while keeping warm.
The Duchess is clearly a fan of the flattering style, having worn it on several occasions, not to mention other royals including the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Diana.
So will you be buying a Duchess-inspired M&S dress? We certainly are!
