Yes, Kate Middleton Wore a $13 Zara Dress for a Zoom Call
Kate Middleton has long been known to mix high and low pieces like a pro, and her most recent outfit is no exception. Yes, we love seeing her in full-on royal regalia like tiaras and heirloom jewelry, but it's refreshing to see the Duchess of Cambridge in her most comfortable, relaxed environment: her home. She participated in a video call to promote the Hold Still 2020 competition for the National Portrait Gallery, which calls on Brits to submit their photographs taken during the lockdown.
For the video call, Middleton wore Zara's Printed Dress, which was marked down from $67 to $13 before it sold out. The floral dress has a lovely vintage-from-grandma vibe that's very on-trend right now. Luckily, I found some worthy contenders that look similar to Middleton's sold-out Zara dress. Scroll down to shop.
Sadly, Middleton's on-sale dress has sold out, but I'll be crossing my fingers for a restock.
Shop Similar Dresses
This sweet dress has a very similar vintage vibe compared to Middleton's. It even has the same ruching at the sleeves.
I'm obsessed with the square neckline and beautiful pistachio color of this pretty dress from Nordstrom.
This pretty dress has great Nordstrom reviews. Customers love the beautiful print and the nice fit.
Wear this with white sneakers or black sandals as shown here.
Next, the under-$50 items I repurchase over and over.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
