The Duchess of Cambridge has a huge influence on the world of fashion with many jealous of her enviable wardrobe.
And it seems that one person keen to follow her style is her own mum, Carole Middleton.
Carole was spotted at Royal Ascot yesterday alongside her husband and Kate's dad Michael wearing an elegant pink dress that was tied at the waist.
And fashion fans thought it looked familiar, and it turned out Kate had worn the exact same dress on an engagement last year.
The dress is by fashion brand ME+EM and the front of the garment has a dark pink panel, while the rest of the item, including the sleeves, are bubblegum pink.
Kate first wore the dress when she met with five-year-old Mila Sneddon and her family at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh last May.
The little girl, whose image was submitted to Kate's photography competition 'Hold Still' initially spoke to the duchess over the phone during lockdown about her cancer treatment.
Kate pledged to meet Mila once restrictions were lifted and promised her that she would wear a pink dress during the meeting.

And staying true to her word, she wore the pink dress, but instead of wearing the belt tie that came with it, replaced it with a belt from Boden.
However, when Carole wore the same dress at Ascot yesterday, she appeared to be wearing the belt that comes with the garment.
Meanwhile, it's not the first time that mother and daughter have been spotted wearing the same clothes - in 2012, Kate wore a blue Reiss dress her mum had been pictured in at Royal Ascot two years earlier.
And it also seems that Carole likes to share her clothes - with her daughter-in-law Alizée, who is married to Kate's brother James, wearing her wedding dress on her big day.
Carole had worn the dress when she wed Michael in 1980 and A lizée then sported it last year when she tied the knot with James in France.
Alizée told Hello!: "While talking about dresses with Carole and sharing ideas during lockdown for inspiration, I tried on her wedding dress and fell in love with it.
"It fitted me perfectly and was exactly what I wanted. It always troubled me that wedding dresses are only worn once, so it was amazing to give such a beautiful dress a second lease of life."
