The Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe is the envy of many due to her elegant and sophisticated looks. And it seems she has a handful of go-to designers she goes to when it comes to dressing for royal duties.
One of the newest designers whose dresses she has appeared to be a big fan of recently is Italian Alessandra Rich. Kate has worn Alessandra's stylish yet seemingly demure designs to the likes of Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and Prince Philip's memorial service alone this year. She also wore a striking green number by Alessandra on a visit to Ireland in 2020 and an eye-popping polka dot dress while at a D-Day exhibition in 2019.
And despite the dresses Kate wears often having long sleeves and modest hemlines, Alessandra has revealed she nearly always puts a "naughty" detail in all of her pieces.
Speaking to the Telegraph, she explained: "All my pieces are like this - they cover the arms or the legs but there’s always a split somewhere or a body chain underneath.
"It is good to be a bit naughty.”
However, it seems unlikely that Kate will be wearing any of Alessandra's designers in the next few weeks.

That's because August and early September is a time when the royals typically take a break from duties - and in the coming weeks' Kate and husband Prince William are said to be moving house with their children.
The Cambridge family are believed to be upping sticks from Kensington Palace to move to Adelaide Cottage, which is nestled in the heart of the Queen's 655-acre Windsor estate and is extremely close to Windsor Castle.
A source said the family are “very keen for a modest home” and feel the downsize cottage “fits the bill”.
There are only four bedrooms in the cottage, one for the couple and one each for their three children.
And this will reportedly mean the couple will not have a live-in nanny for the first time in children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' lives.
Meanwhile, not having a live-in nanny isn't the only change the Cambridge children will see on moving to Windsor - they are also rumoured to be moving schools.
The children are likely to be educated locally and are rumoured to be joining Lambrook School in Berkshire as day pupils.
The co-educational school charges up to £7,000 a term - plus a further £1,481 for boarding - and many of its leavers eventually head off to prestigious secondary schools including Eton.
William and Kate have reportedly been seen visiting the school "multiple times" - with William even chatting to one pupil about Latin classes.
