The Duchess of Cambridge debuted a gorgeous lighter hairdo as she accompanied her daughter, Princess Charlotte, to her first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea on Thursday. 

Kate wore a red, white and blue belted floral Michael Kors dress – suitably named the “Carnation Shirtdress” – with navy heels, small hoop earrings and a delicate necklace. As for the navy and red backpack? While going incredibly well with her outfit, it unfortunately belonged to one of the kids.

The gorgeous dress, which she first wore to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding rehearsal last year, is sadly no longer available online. But fear not, after a little bit of searching we found the same Michael Kors dress in an incredibly similar print – and it’s currently available in all sizes. 

The scarlet and black number, which costs £215, is slightly darker, making it a great one to add to your autumn wardrobe. Imagine it paired with black tights, boots and a chunky knit over the top when it gets colder. Lovely.

The shape, which is Kate’s go-to feminine silhouette is also available in a geometric print (£215). We can’t get enough of those blouson sleeves.
