It is the perfect time to start thinking about your summer wardrobe and jump on the latest trends. Yellow is a must-have colour that is set to dominate the high street this season. The Daily Express has taken a look back through the royal archives and predicts that the Princess of Wales will no doubt re-wear one iconic marigold look once again this summer—and you can recreate her outfit for a fraction of the price with the bargain alternatives we have found.

Back in 2022, Princess Kate, 43, arrived in Jamaica for the second leg of her Caribbean Tour with her husband, Prince William, wearing a stunning Rokasanda dress. The Princess of Wales looked flawless in the custom look, which featured cropped sleeves, a cinched waist, midi length and twisted bow detail on the front. She stepped out in an adaptation of the luxury label ‘Brigitte’ dress, which retailed at £1,095.00 at the time. R

okasanda Ilinčić is a Serbian-born fashion designer based in London who has dressed several European royal family members, including Kate and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. The Princess of Wales clearly loves the look as she re-wore it months later to the 2022 Wimbledon ladies’ finals.

Princess Kate’s dress was a bespoke creation, but do not panic—we have found affordable alternatives from high-street retailers, including Nobody’s Child, Lavish Alice, and Next.

The Lori dress is a gorgeous pale yellow and will undoubtedly cause heads to turn wherever you wear it. It is a slightly different style with a striking off-shoulder design and is more form-fitting.

However, it gives off a similar impression, as the stand-out bow detail also creates the same stunning silhouette as Princess Kate’s. We love the high-quality crepe material and elegant pleated sleeves that showcase your neck and shoulders – it’s perfect as a head-turning occasion dress. 

The butter yellow dress by Nobody’s Child is another affordable design that offers an elegant twist to the look Princess Kate was caught in. This puff-sleeve dress features a flattering empire waistline similar to Kate’s – and we love the bow-tied open back.

This versatile piece could be paired with trainers and a denim jacket for something a little less formal, or if you wanted to jazz it up, it would look great with wedges to elevate the look. We think this would be perfect for a summer wedding, christening, or social event. 

If you are looking for another purse-friendly alternative, then look no further than Club London for this glamorous dress. This maxi dress comes in a beautiful pastel lemon shade – which is a hue we have seen Kate sport many times over the years, as well as Duchess Sophie. It is made from silky satin, which feels luxurious. It also features a one-shoulder neckline and bow detail. However, if this is not your shade of yellow, then check out the four other colours, including vibrant pink and dusky blue.

This Lipsy dress is the perfect design for a wedding guest, race day, or summer party. This statement piece features a gorgeous elevated broderie lace in a lovely soft yellow.

We love the V-neckline and cropped sleeves which are complimented by a fit and flare cut. Princess Kate would no doubt love this design as it also comes in a vibrant emerald green and pink colour.
