Kate’s £1,595 dress can be bought for fraction of the price at high street shop

Kate, Princess of Wales stepped out wearing a £1,595 Alessandra Rich dress recently to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

The Princess also wore this blue dress to Wimbledon last year, which was wildly popular among royal fans.

Wimbledon is already underway this year, and when it comes to the royals, fans are just as fixated on their courtside attire as they are on the game.

Every year, Kate sets the bar high for classy, exquisite match-day attire, and Express.co.uk are remembering some of her looks from the past several seasons.

Despite costing £1,595, Kate’s blue and white polka dot midi dress from Alessandra Rich sold out almost instantly when she wore it to the tournament last year.

Fans still want to replicate Kate’s stunning dress, even though it sold out almost a year ago.

Fortunately, Marks and Spencer has an exact replica that costs only £53, almost 30 times less expensive than the Alessandra Rich version.

Its description says: “This elegant skater dress from Albaray features playful polka dots. The midi-length design is cut to an easy regular fit with a slash neck and a keyhole button fastening at the back.

“Shirred cuffs and detailing on the shoulders give a romantic feel, while gathers at the waist create a figure-flattering silhouette.”

The Polka Dot Midi Skater Dress is a fantastic substitute for Kate’s designer version because it has the same classic fit and flare style and identical bodice pleating embellishments.

Kate, who is known for wearing her outfits multiple times, wore her lovely midi dress to host the NHS Big Tea Party for workers last Tuesday to commemorate the NHS’s 75th anniversary.

The blue and white colour palette of Kate’s embroidered midi dress was an ideal ode to the NHS as she and William helped decorate cakes and spoke with staff.

Kate’s midi dress is the ideal light and airy summer dress, with subtle pleating and a matching belt. The Princess manages to look effortlessly chic while remaining cool and comfortable.

The Marks and Spencer’s version offers the same relaxed fit and style at just a fraction of the price.

Along with the tight waist and flared midi-length skirt, the M&S midi skater dress also has shirred elasticated cuffs and shoulder embellishments that give the long sleeves extra volume.

Even though it’s on sale, the dress is still accessible in sizes eight to 18, with sizes 14 and 16 being temporarily out of stock.

Fans should shop the Polka Dot Midi Skater Dress while it’s still available because it likely won’t be in stock for long.
