Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Duchess of Cambridges McQueen dress first seen on Tulisa and Kim Kardashian


Tulisa; Kim Kardashian; the Duchess of Cambridge - three names we'd never have expect to see in the same style sentence, but we're being forced to eat our Sylvia Fletcher hat quicker than you can say flotilla.

Resplendent in red at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee river pageant this afternoon, it didn't take long for the designer of Kate's bold dress to quickly surface as Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, also the creator of her revered wedding gown.

Unmissable as she stepped on board the royal boat with husband Prince William, hawk-eyed Kate style observers at Kate Middleton Style Blog were quick to uncover that her ensemble wasn't exactly a one-off. But rather than gracing the red carpet on a top Hollywood A-lister, none other than X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos and American reality TV star Kim Kardashian were seen in the dress last year.

Hardly sisters in style -Tulisa is more of a tropical-print, thigh-skimming dress lover while fame-ravenous Kim Kardashian insists on pouring her hourglass curves into designs approximately three sizes too small - Kate can take some comfort in the fact that her bespoke outfit features long sleeves and a slightly more regal length than her TV wannabes.

And let's not forget the accoutrements - an immaculately co-ordinated Sylvia Fletcher for James Lock & Co hat and those trusty LK Bennett nude courts (yes, we all know those off by heart now) - both of which elevate the dress to royal realms.
