White dresses are a perennial summer favourite - fresh, effortless and flattering on women of all ages. It is little surprise, then, that the timeless style remains a firm favourite among royals.

The Princess of Wales recently championed the look during a visit to Evelina Children's Hospital in London, wearing Suzannah London's elegant Flippy Wiggle dress.

Inspired by 1940s tailoring, the midi dress is crafted from luxurious Italian silk crepe and features a sharp lapel collar, delicate pin-tuck detailing and a button-through front.

Kate elevated the classic white ensemble with previously unseen Lucia slingback heels by Camilla Elphick - now sold out - along with her signature pearl and diamond earrings from Annoushka and Kiki McDonough, creating an impeccably polished finish.

It is easy to see why the dress has become a much-loved staple in Kate's wardrobe. She first wore it to the Wimbledon Championships in 2019 and has returned to it on several occasions since.

Kate's dress and earrings are still available to buy, but if you are shopping on a budget, I have rounded up the best high street alternatives.
