The Duchess of Cambridge was dazzling in white as she arrived at the Westminster Abbey alongside her husband the Duke this morning to commemorate Anzac Day.
Kate Middleton, 40, cut a stylish figure as she recycled a white Alexander McQueen coat dress for the occasion, pairing the stunning piece with Princess Diana's Collingwood earrings, a matching headband by milliner Jane Taylor and black accessories.
The mother-of-three, who is known for her love of high street brands and repeating her outfits, wore the dress for her daughter Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015.
It was a surprise appearance for the Duchess, whose presence at the service was only announced this morning.
The traditional church service in the abbey featured an address by the Dean of Westminster, readings from the New Zealand and Australian high commissioners, prayers read by children of each country, and a Maori waiata performed by London-based Ngati Ranana London Maori Club.
Earlier today, Prince William, 39, attended a wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on behalf of the Queen.
It comes after the the Duke of Gloucester, 77, attended the Dawn Service at the New Zealand Memorial at Hyde Park, which included readings and the Last Post sounded by a bugler.
Anzac Day - April 25 - marks the anniversary of the start of the First World War Gallipoli landings, and is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand.
