The Princess of Wales<\/a> never fails to serve us some style inspiration.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Prior to being plummeted into life as future Queen, Prince William’s then St. Andrew’s post-grad girlfriend<\/a> never missed with her high-society fashion.<\/p>\n

One fabulous summer look that springs to mind is a super-chic and waist-cinching number worn by Kate back in August 2007.<\/p>\n

The garment in question? A glorious black and white sundress. Kate wore the number as she was pictured leaving her \u00a31.8 million Chelsea flat in South West London<\/strong><\/a> where she lived with her sister Pippa and brother James before relocating to the royal gates of Kensington Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kate oozed noughties glamour as she stepped out in the affluent postcode donning the monochrome piece. The stunning sundress featured a plunging neckline and was gathered at the waist, defining her ultra-toned physique.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for accessories, Kate slipped on a pair of fabulous sunglasses and cork peep-toe wedges to complete her look. On her shoulder was a low-key cream handbag the perfect carrier for her then-Nokia mobile phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kate also added a pair of elegant drop earrings for good measure.<\/p>\n

As for her hair, Kate had her iconic chestnut locks styled with ample volume, her choppy layers perfectly framing her face and complete with a side parting, adding the finishing touch to her quintessential 00s ensemble. <\/p>\n

This time, Kate paired her glorious gown with a pair of striking cork wedges, which matched the bright hue of letterbox red. The wedges were also adorned with large flowers adding a fabulously fun dynamic to her picture-perfect summer look.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Highlighting the stunning neckline on her vibrant outfit, Kate added a silver pendant necklace.<\/p>\n
