Over the years, we’ve had many insights into Kate Middleton’s capsule wardrobe. Whether it's the nano Montreal bag from DeMellier or her Daniella Draper personalised necklace, many of her looks hail from the high street – a blessing for those wishing to replicate. The same can be said for this exact Karen Millen dress that is perfect for spring.
The Princess of Wales stepped out in the Karen Millen tailored midi dress in yellow when she visited the Royal Surrey County Hospital’s maternity unit in 2022. The tailored piece strikes the perfect balance between polished and wearable, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Cut from crepe, the dress features a structured V-neck bodice, elegant mid-length sleeves and soft, floaty pleats through the skirt, creating a flattering silhouette that transitions seamlessly from day to evening. A belted waist adds subtle definition, enhancing its timeless, tailored appeal.
While the exact canary-yellow iteration worn by the Princess has since sold out, the style is still available in classic black, understated ivory and a bold magenta hue. Better still, Karen Millen is donating £5 for every magenta dress sold to Breast Cancer Now.

The dress is figure flattering with a belted waist design and structured bodice, while the pleats add movement. Perfect as the weather warms up, it falls just below the knees and has midi sleeves – making it perfect for the office, spring weddings or evening soirees.
The Princess of Wales paired the dress with navy heels, and you can also get a similar pair from Karen Millen to wear with the dress.
