The Princess of Wales showed off her eco-minded fashion styling when she recycled a slim sheath dress for her recent outing at the Anna Freud Center in north London. The princess has been patron of the charity since 2016.

Proving there’s nothing wrong with a closet rewear, the mom of three looked smart and sophisticated in the retro wiggle dress for a visit to the children’s mental heath organization on November 27th.

For the appearance, Kate recycled her Emilia Wickstead Miles dress (similar).

The princess used a bit of upcycling magic to make the old dress feel new. She altered the design by swapping the original thin belt and adding a thicker coordinating houndstooth belt.

The princess was last seen in the design in Boston in December 2022.

The sleeveless pencil dress was designed with a collared top and fitted skirt — the midi channels a vintage 1950s aesthetic.

She accessorized the workwear fashion statement with a new handbag. Kate opted for the DeMellier London Hudson Small Leather trimmed suede tote in the shade mocha suede.

The bag is ethically handcrafted from gold-rated Italian leather and features the brand’s signature belted exterior strap and gold-plated lock. A modern classic in miniature form, it can be worn as a functional crossbody utilizing the the adjustable, removable strap or carried by hand for a polished look.

Kate paired the dress with her Hugo Boss ‘Staple P90-L’ Anthracite Embossed Leather Pumps (similar).

She finished the look with her signature sapphire and diamond oval drop earrings.
