The Duchess of Cambridge is a big fan of the brand...

You might remember the Duchess of Cambridge's iconic red sequin dress that she wore just over two years ago. Kate Middleton stepped out in the Needle & Thread number for a royal reception at Buckingham palace back in 2020, and we've not stopped thinking about her outfit ever since.

The 'Aurora' dress was in the most stunning cherry red shade, and was decorated with shimmering sequins with frill lace detailing. It was an instant hit and sold out immediately, proving that 'the Kate effect' is still in full effect.
