Duchess Kate Recycles Dress For A Third Time
Kate Middleton is getting a lot of wear out of her black lace Temperley dress, first worn by the royal last year.
The long-sleeved gown features a black lace overlay, a fitted nude bodice, a velvet belt, and a full skirt. Since wearing the dress three times now, it has become an iconic look for the royal.
Middleton, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, first wore the Alice Temperley number in January 2012 during the "War Horse" premiere in London, and then again just last month during a gala at St. Andrews.
On Wednesday Dec. 11, Middleton wore the dress once more to the premiere of David Attenborough's "Natural History Museum Alive" in London.
The 31-year-old appeared trim and happy during the film event, which she attended alongside her husband, Prince William, according to the Daily Mail. After chatting with the filmmakers, the couple joined the audience in watching a 3-D version of "Natural Museum Alive."
In the past, Middleton has received praise for recycling some of her favorite designers, and the royal is well known for her low-key yet smart fashion sense. The Duchess is often spotted in items that are available at Zara and even Topshop where prices are extremely affordable.
Just last week, the royal paired her Roland Mouret gown with a necklace from Zara that is estimated to have cost $35 during the premiere of "Mandela."
However, Middleton keeps fans guessing at what she will wear next since just one day before the "Mandela" premiere, the Duchess donned a priceless diamond and pearl tiara owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile, Middleton is adjusting to life as the new mom of Prince George who was born in July. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first-born son is the third in line to the British throne.
The entire royal family is preparing to spend Christmas at the Queen's estate in Sandringham.
