Dress like a Royal in classic Stella McCartney

Another day on the Royal tour, and it’s another stylishly recycled number for the Duchess of Cambridge. There isn’t a fashionista in the world who can recondition dresses quite like Kate, but then if we had her wardrobe, we’d want to wear everything in it more than once too!
Today it was the turn of her cobalt blue Ridley dress by Stella McCartney. Worn in 2012 for the Olympic Games tennis tournament at Wimbledon, and then again for a visit to the Nation Portrait Gallery later that same year, this classic style is the perfect royal day dress.
Accented with a pair of navy heels and her signature coiffed locks, the Duchess disembarked the plane in Canberra with the usual finesse, despite carrying a wriggling, cute-as-a-button Prince George.

Much to the disappointment of fashion fans everywhere, and as with most of the Duchess' looks, this dress is no longer available to buy. But we've rounded up our favourite alternatives to help you channel the royal vibe for a whole lot less. Check out Missguided's shift dress (below) for a simple approach to the look.
