According to People, Kate Middleton wowed fans at Wimbledon on Tuesday, July 5 when she wore a blue and white dotted dress by designer Alessandra Rich. She completed the look with cat-eye sunglasses, a mini white handbag, white heels, and pearl earrings. The Duchess of Cambridge looked fresh, even while her entire outfit was recycled. In fact, she just wore her Wimbledon dress one month ago during a Platinum Jubilee street party (via The Mirror). The choice to re-wear recent garments may have been inspired by the tennis championships’ sustainability goals and plans to reduce waste.
But this certainly isn’t the first time Kate repeated a famous outfit. The duchess has re-worn everything from a skirt suit co-ord to a sparkly evening gown (per Town & Country). She’s even sported some looks in public four times. This is a departure from Queen Elizabeth’s practice of typically wearing an outfit only two times before retiring it, according to Insider. For us non-royals, it might pay to be a bit more like Kate — both for the planet and for our wallets.
