It's great when royals like Kate Middleton (opens in new tab) and Meghan Markle (opens in new tab) step out in high street fashion brands that normals like us can afford (opens in new tab), but sometimes royals have to dress the part in fancy designer gowns (opens in new tab) that those of us without royal bankrolls can't hope to own.

One such look was the the stunning (and instantly-iconic) pink and purple Gucci (opens in new tab) gown that Kate Middleton, who is a patron of 100 Women in Finance's Philanthropic Initiatives, wore to a Gala Dinner in aid of Mentally Healthy Schools at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in February.

A reminder, in case the Disney princess-esque dress isn't just burned permanently in your brain:

"@chichiclothing have a great #replikate for the Gucci dress worn by the #duchessofcambridge to the 100 Women in Finance gala last February. This dress has a similar silhouette and colour scheme, and swapping the pink ribbon for a burgundy one would make it look even closer to the original. Called “Chi Chi London Steffny Colour Block Dress, Mink”, available at @johnlewisandpartners and @nextofficial for £80," @Regal_Replikate (opens in new tab) wrote.
