Kate Middleton’s latest fashion statement is officially princess-approved!

On Wednesday, the Princess of Wales, 41, opened the Young V&A museum in London and stylishly arrived in another royal rewear. Princess Kate recycled her pale pink Ahana dress from Beulah London, which features cropped sleeves, a full skirt and a waist-cinching belt.

She was first seen in the flattering frock at Wimbledon in July 2021, where she attended the men’s singles final with her dad, Michael Middleton, and added a floral face mask amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The look combined two of Kate's recent go-to trends: recycling previously worn summer ensembles and Barbiecore. The pink aesthetic has become a fashion staple among celebrities — aligning with the highly-anticipated Barbie film starring Margot Robbie premiering on July 21.

Kate’s royal repeat marks her second recycled outfit from the famed tennis tournament in two days. On Tuesday, she sported a navy and white polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich to officially open Hope Street, a new residential hub for women in the justice system and their children. The timeless style might look familiar, as Kate wore the dress to Wimbledon with Prince William and Prince George last summer.

The Princess of Wales’ second Beulah moment secures the look’s place on a rare pedestal — approval by multiple royal women! In addition to the brand being followed on Instagram by the likes of Sarah Ferguson and Amelia Windsor, the Ahana dress in particular is a staple of royal closets.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was first to wear the frock for a visit to the Frederiksborg Museum of National History in June 2020, sporting it in beige.

Following Kate’s Barbie pink moment at Wimbledon in 2021, Princess Beatrice and Sophie Windsor both wore the Ahana dress for a church service celebrating Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. 

The twinning moment was likely unplanned, and both women reached for the long-sleeved version of the same style in jewel tones. Beatrice, 34, wore the crepe dress in blue, while Sophie, 42, chose magenta for the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Sophie is married to Frederick Windsor, who is the son of Queen Elizabeth’s cousin Prince Michael of Kent.

Princess Beatrice is clearly a fan of the brand, also sporting the Sonia Bud dress by Beulah London to Royal Ascot last week.

Fashion fans can look forward to another look from Kate next week when she and Prince William (who you can also call the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay) attend the Scottish coronation celebration for King Charles and Queen Camilla on Wednesday.

One month after King Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6, the government of Scotland announced a second celebration would be held in Edinburgh in July.
