Kate Middleton Just Wore The Exact Same Thing As Meghan Markle

Who wore it better?

Take it as a sign that the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Markle share the same sense of style (or a healthy rivalry…), but Kate Middleton has just stepped out wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress that Prince Harry’s girlfriend has worn before.

The Duchess wore the black lace ‘Zarita’ design to attend the 2017 Gala Dinner for The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families at Kensington Palace on November 7. It’s her second time wearing the dress – Vanity Fair reports she first wore it in 2014.

Markle, however, first wore the dress to an event back in 2012 – albeit in a navy, thigh-grazing version (Kate’s was full-length).

To add insult to (purely speculative) injury, Markle has since thrown shade on the outfit, telling Glamour UK it was “trying too hard.”

 “I was going to this event and there was this DVF lace dress with a zipper up the back, and it was so fitted, and had tea-length sleeves… I bought one in navy and black. It was too tight, and too short, and my hair was too polished, and everything about it was trying too hard,” she says. 

We’ll let Kate hit back at that one at Christmas dinner.
