Kate Middleton’s dress sells out in eight minutes

The famous 'Kate Effect' struck again today, with the Duchess of Cambridge's bold printed frock selling out just eight minutes after she stepped out in it.

Kate donned a new season blue and white patterned Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress for the second day of her Australian tour.

The Duchess paired the dress with a pair of navy blue cork-soled wedges and simple silver-toned jewellery.

It was a very fetching look, and one hundreds of women around the world are clearly quick to emulate – according to a fashion website, the dress sold out on the label’s website worldwide in just eight minutes.

It’s not the first time Kate has shown her amazing ability to move fashion – the black and white Tory Burch number she wore in New Zealand last week quickly sold out and even her son Prince George’s Rachel Riley dungarees were snapped up in hours.
