The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her impeccable style and wearing outfits more than once, and the Royal wedding was no exception – or so we thought.
Kate wore a pale yellow tailored coat to accompany her bridesmaid daughter Charlotte, leading the way for Meghan Markle in her Givenchy wedding dress.
She paired it with a matching Philip Treacy hat with floral detail, and Jimmy Choo shoes.
At first, people thought it was the same Alexander McQueen gown she first wore it for her daughter Charlotte's christening back in July 2015. But look more closely, and there are small differences between the two outfits.
The dress Kate wore to Meghan and Harry's wedding has buttons on the sleeves, while the christening outfit does not.
Take a look at the images below to see for yourself.

Meanwhile Princess Charlotte was equally stylish for the big day, wearing a custom Givenchy bridesmaid's gown.
She accessorised with white leather Aquazurra shoes, monogrammed with her initials, and the wedding date. The shoes are a gift from Meghan to the young ladies as a keepsake of the special day.
