This stunning dress is made with silk crepe de chine, meaning it's fabulously lightweight and breathable - ideal for hot summer weather. It's midi length, fitted at the hips, and falls into a straight skirt - which leaves a flattering and smart silhouette. With a frilled high neck and long sleeves this piece is ideal for formal occasions as well as anything you need to look smart for!
If this particular gown looks familiar to royal fashion fans - it's because the thrifty royal has already worn it twice this year.
Per the Daily Mail, HRH wore the dress during a visit to Kurdistan - where she met Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Masrour Barzani. She also wore it to the Realm Governor's Reception ahead of King Charles's coronation celebrations.
What's new about this look, however, is her stunning hair accessory - which appears to be a simple clip, holding her hair back in a smart low ponytail.
The Duchess stepped out as King Charles welcomed recipients of The King's Award for Enterprise to Buckingham Palace. Other members of the Royal Family in attendance were Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
According to the Royal Family's website, the King's Award for Enterprise was instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965. It's considered to be the most prestigious business awards ceremony in the United Kingdom, "with recipients recognized as being among the best of British businesses."
