To celebrate the Princess of Wales's 44th birthday on January 9, shoppers can recreate some of her most famous outfits for a fraction of the cost. High street retailers Marks & Spencer and Next offer affordable alternatives, with dresses starting at just £13.49.
For a smart casual look, M&S's Single Breasted Blazer at £50 comes in dark navy or black and is described as 'good quality' and 'comfortable'. Pair it with Satin Flat Mary Jane Ballet Pumps (£30) or Leather Cut Out Mary Jane Ballet Pumps (£40) for an elegant finish.
For formal occasions, Next's Champagne Gold Textured Satin Halter Sleeveless Midi Dress (£55) mirrors the golden gown worn by the Princess. It is 'gorgeous and delicate', though may be too short for very tall wearers.
A winter staple is the Chocolate Brown Formal Funnel Neck Coat from Next (£88), or the Wool Blend Brushed Blazer from M&S (£80), which is currently in high demand.
Tea dresses are a signature of Kate's style. M&S offers the Floral Round Neck Midaxi Tea Dress reduced to £13.49 (from £45), and the Floral Lace Detail Midaxi Tea Dress at £14.39 (from £38). Both are light and airy, perfect for spring and summer.
