While she may have a drool-worthy designer closet, the Duchess of Cambridge isn’t afraid to hit rewind on her wardrobe and wear her favourite outfits more than once.
During her tour Down Under the stylish royal has debuted an array of elegant ensembles – think the gorgeous yellow Roksanda Ilincic shift – as well as some familiar frocks, including yesterday’s 50’s inspired Hobbs dress and woven belt.
The Queen-to-be was previously photographed donning the outback outfit – sling back wedges and all – on a visit to Bacon’s College in London on July 26, 2012.
