The Princess of Wales has been recycling some of the most elegant items in her wardrobe lately.
We saw her step out in a head-to-toe rewear made up of polka dots and toffee tones this week. Then she reached for one of the most ethereal pieces in her collection as she attended the concert to mark 80 years since VE Day in London last night.
Expertly pulling off an outfit consisting of lace, boucle, vintage pearl jewellery, and chic black accessories, Princess Catherine wore what might be one of our favourite looks ever as she attended the special event alongside Prince William and key members of the Royal Family.
With her signature brunette waves swept back and secured with a sweet black velvet bow, Kate looked timeless and classic in her Self-Portrait dress, made up of a billowing white chiffon and lace skirt and a boucle belted-waist blazer top.
Her Royal Highness has long been a Self-Portrait fan and has worn items from the iconic label on plenty of occasions, having first sported this particular statement frock in 2021 for a reception to thank those involved in her Hold Still photography project.
She wore the Tailored Boucle and Chiffon Midi Dress again for the Platinum Jubilee Party at the Palace concert in June 2022 - and Catherine has it in black, too.
A boucle jacket is an essential in any spring capsule wardrobe. Combine one like this with a flowing midi skirt for a look like Catherine's.
Much like Kate's, this two-in-one number by Mint Velvet is a gorgeous occasionwear investment piece you'll get so much wear out of.
The addition of a striking hair accessory can easily elevate any look, as the Princess of Wales proved. This velvet bow from Amazon is so affordable.
We're always keeping an eye on the earrings Kate wears - and a pearly pair were undoubtedly the perfect choice for a sophisticated outfit like this. She wore a pair by vintage jewellery Susan Caplan in her ears, while the incredible Five-Strand Necklace by the designer looked gorgeous around her neck.
There was an unmissable Chanel moment, too, as Kate carried her Classic Square Mini Flap Handbag - one of many standouts in her designer bag stash.
Rivkie Baum, Digital Fashion Editor at woman&home, is a huge lover of Kate's Self-Portrait dress and was thrilled to see it be given another outing. She says, "I love it when Kate re-wears a look, and this Self-Portrait is up there with some of my favourites.
"The boucle is so timeless, and despite this being an old look, the lace skirt still keeps this ensemble feeling fresh. The belted blazer is a silhouette we've seen grow in popularity this season, and is an excellent way of ensuring a boxier jacket still highlights your waist," Rivkie adds.
"To recreate this look, why not add a slim belt to one of your favourite blazers and pair with a summery maxi skirt for a new season restyle?"
