The Princess of Wales always nails it when it comes to rocking a dress or two. The mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis always gets it right – from A-line styles to making the humble denim dress look chic.
But there is one style that she doesn’t venture out in too much, and that’s the off-the-shoulder. Kate has worn the slightly relaxed neckline a few times, but you could count them on one hand. One time that she did, which was the most memorable, was a dazzling white, off-the-shoulder style in 2016. The royal attended a lavish dinner at the Natural History Museum. Kate was a guest of honour at the private event, where she presented the Art Fund Museum of the Year Award.
Dressing to impress as always, she looked dreamy in a £1,580 Barbara Casasola off-the-shoulder cream jersey dress, which she teamed with pink high heels.
Kate loved the style so much that she re-wore it three years later in 2019, when she delivered a speech at a gala dinner hosted by Action on Addiction.

The frock boasted a ribbed fabric, which cinched her in at the waist, falling into a midi, flared hem. Unfussy, it shows us all how to work classic, timeless pieces with ease and grace.
Off-the-shoulder styles are so on trend for spring/summer 2025, especially as the weather gets warmer. They give one’s shape a streamlined balance, and the bare nape of the neck being exposed adds an airy feel to any look.

The Duchess of Susssex’s wedding dress famously featured a bateau neckline – a slight variation of the off-the-shoulder look.

Meghan was every inch a royal bride in her modest yet magnificent bridal gown.
