Royal rewears: 14 times the royals recycled their best outfits just like us

Duchess Catherine took our breath away as she made a showstopping entrance to the 2020 BAFTA Awards with husband Wills. Her golden-hued dress turned heads for more reason than one - and it was all to do with the fact we'd seen it before...

Kate first wore the heavenly gown when she visited Malaysia on a royal tour back in 2012. The pictures here do all the talking - the look is just as stunning eight years apart!

In 2018, Kate glowed in a beautiful blue Jenny Packham design as she and Wills attended the annual Tusk Awards.

But it wasn't the first time we'd seen the royal don the regal frock - no less than six years earlier, she looked just as incredible in the very same gown. A lot happened in between (three royal babies, anyone?), but she proved not all things have to change!

The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Windsor Castle for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle donning a wool silk tailored coat-dress by Alexander McQueen. And, despite a change of accessories, we couldn't help but feel like we had seen her outfit before, and in fact we have, three times before!

This coat is too gorgeous to leave in the wardrobe, Kate wore it again on the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele in July, 2017. Here the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watch as the poppies fall from the roof of the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium.

Meghan Markle made headlines when she stepped-up her sartorial style wearing an Alexander McQueen pant suit to the Endeavour Fund Awards in February. Proving she's learned from her soon-to-be royal in-laws, the former actress rewore her Alexander McQueen blazer, this time with a gorgeous green floral dress by Self Portrait to a special Invictus Games reception hosted by Australian Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull.

Royal trend-setter, Meghan Markle was first spotted on the left in a pair of wide-leg black trousers by Veronica Beard attending her second official royal engagement with Prince Harry in January. Only a month later she was photographed again in the same trousers on a visit to Edinburgh.

Three years later, in January this year, Catherine was sighted wearing the same blue cashmere coatdress. Here she visited the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute at Kings College, where she met mothers being treated for mental health conditions.

Princess Anne, was captured stepping out in a cream and navy coat for the 2018 Commonwealth Day service on March 12th 2018, which she was previously seen 32 years ago.

The Duchess loves this vibrant Mulberry coat. Here she wears the gorgeous piece when she was 8-months pregnant while visiting the Stephen Lawrence Centre in March 2015.

Kate previously wore the fuschia coat in 2014 as she laid down a wreath for victims of the 9/11 attack in New York City, at the Memorial Plaza at ground zero with Prince William by her side.

Accessorising this time with black gloves and tights, the Duchess stepped out in the statement coat again in March this year.

Kate radiated elegance in this navy Diane von Furstenberg lace dress complemented by dazzling diamond earrings.

The Duchess fell so in love with the Diane von Furstenberg dress, she had to have it in black lace as well. We all know when you fall in love with an outfit, you have to get it in every colour, right?

Wowing in red, the Duchess wore this flirty Alexander McQueen number during the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant on June, 2012.
