Kate Middleton: seven gala dresses she’s re-worked for maximum glamour

In June 2019, the Duchess of Cambridge chose this ivory colored dress with panel detailing and an off-the-shoulder vibe by Barbara Casasola, to attend the annual Addiction Awareness Week gala.

It was first seen in June 2016 for a dinner at the National History Museum. Adding a shiny clutch to the outfit gave it an added touch of elegance.

Heading to the National Portrait Gallery gala in March 2019, Kate wore this black dress with a white floral pattern by Alexander McQueen. She accessorized with a black clutch purse and her hair in loose waves.

Two years earlier this gala gown had an off-the-shoulder neckline and was worn to the BAFTA Awards with an elegant up-do and diamond earrings.

For the East Anglia's Children's Hospices dinner in June 2016, the Duchess chose a Jenny Packham dress with see-through sleeves and vertically aligned sequinned detailing.

Only two months after marrying Prince William , Kate stunned in this same design at the 10th Annual ARK gala dinner, accessorized with a clutch in the same tone.

At the Tusk Awards in November 2018, she wore this teal toned dress, by Jenny Packham, accessorized with a clutch in the same hue.

In May 2012, she wore this almost identical look to the Our Greatest Team Rises -BOA Olympic Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. On this occasion, she had her hair up in an elegant bun.

At the annual reception of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace in December 2016, the Duchess looked divine in a custom made red Jenny Packham dress topped off with a tiara.

The lace dress was first worn at a state banquet for Chineses Presidente Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan in 2015. This time, the Cambridge Lover's Knot was the tiara of choice.

This dark green dress with a crossed-body detail and accessorized with a black velvet belt was Kate’s choice for the 600th Anniversary Dinner at St. Andrews, in December 2014.

And if this silk dress looks familiar, that’ll be because she’s worn it on at least three occasions. She let her hair down in it at the Portrait Gala, in February 2014 and was first seen in October 2013.

Just like the former gown, this maxi dress by Temperley London is another of her absolute favorites. She wore it in December 2013 to the Museum of Natural History in London.

Back in November 2012, the Duchess rewore the dress to a dinner reception at her old University of St. Andrews. She added a perfect pop of color with the red clutch purse that she carried for the occasion.

This lace layered gala dress was first worn at the premiere of War Horse at the Odeon Leicester Square in January 2012. On all three occasions, she wore her gorgeous hair loose.

Kate shows that she knows what works best for her and we’re sure we’ll see lots more of her recycled looks in years to come.
