The Princess of Wales never has a day off when it comes to her elite wardrobe, does she? It’s fair to say we would all be pushed to find an outfit the wife of Prince William has worn that hasn’t been first class.
Now the summer months are here, wedding season is upon us, and we bet you have a few invitations to reply to! The never-ending question when a wedding is looming is – “What do I wear, though?”
It’s hard to decide what to wear to a wedding, particularly when the weather is warmer. Which is why we’ve looked through the archives and found one of Kate’s most fabulous wedding guest dresses, which she wore back in 2013.
This glorious fashion throwback shows the then Duchess of Cambridge, heavily pregnant with her first child, Prince George.
Kate looked radiant at William van Cutsem and Rosie Ruck Keene’s wedding in her polka dot bump-enhancing dress from Topshop.

The royal trio had a wonderful time as they enjoyed the festivities at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where they wielded wands and were enamored by the props on show.

Back in March this year, fashion fans were overjoyed when previously defunct high street brand Topshop shared a teasing Instagram post, which was captioned with the elusive statement: “We missed you.”
© Topshop.comSince then, their social media feed has been a presentation of what’s to come, and earlier this week, it was announced that everyone’s favourite British brand will be relaunching in August, with an official runway show, debuting its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection.
