Kate Middleton has raised some eyebrows regarding the dress she chose to wear to the Order of the Garter ceremony last week.
The Princess of Wales wore a brand new polka dot Alessandra Rich dress which cost north of £1,000 but many initially mistook it for a very similar dress she wore to the Ascot last year.
The 41-year-old royal has been criticised for wearing such an expensive new dress that was almost identical to her frock at the races last year amid the cost of living crisis as her husband Prince William announced his new campaign as part of his lifelong aspiration to end homelessness this week.
Royal commentators Michelle Thole and Rachael Andrews said they are a fan of Kate and thought she looked 'beautiful' but deemed her choice of outfit to be a "mishap", the Express reports.
Speaking on the latest episode of their podcast, Keeping Up With The Windsors, Ms Andrews said: “This was a bit of a flop, not the outfit, the circumstances under it. It just didn’t sit well.”
At first many were pleasantly surprised to see Kate had chosen to repeat the outfit she wore to the races last year with a different pair of shoes and fascinator.
However, upon closer inspection they noticed that last year's dress had larger brown polka dots on it as opposed to this year's smaller black dots.
Ms Andrews said: “And this year she had on shoes that looked very similar to ones that she’s previously worn before but again its a different designer but they look almost the same…
“She’s obviously got her favourite designers but why [is she] picking a dress that’s so similar?
"Why not bring out the dress you’ve previously worn? Last year the dots were a bit smaller or this year’s were, and that was about it, and the colour. Come on!”

The Princess of Wales is one of the most instantly recognisable women in the world, as well as one of the monarchy’s greatest assets, but any personal thoughts that stretch beyond the boundaries of her official role remain an enigma to many.
