While Meghan Markle wowed audiences with three spectacular looks on her farewell tour, it’s her sister-in-law Kate Middleton who has been making waves in the fashion world by championing sustainable fashion practices.

Despite any assumptions of royal sartorial extravagance, the Duchess of Cambridge has been a staunch advocate of recycled fashion, frequently re-wearing outfits on various occasions.

Amidst their busy schedules of royal engagements and parenting three children, Prince William and Kate have managed to maintain their impeccable style for joint appearances.

Recently, the couple embarked on a royal tour of India, where Kate showcased her commitment to sustainable fashion by wearing a bespoke Indian-inspired gown designed by Jenny Packham, one of her favorite British brands.

The stunning sapphire blue gown featured intricate beadwork done in India, paired with earrings by Indian jeweler M. Raupali, showcasing a fusion of cultures.

During a reception and dinner held in their honor in Mumbai, Kate and William, who were experiencing India for the first time, were charmed by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, also known as King Khan. The trio shared laughs and conversation before enjoying a stylish supper, with Shah Rukh Khan expressing admiration for Kate’s beauty and elegance.

Back in London, at a Buckingham Palace reception, Kate once again demonstrated her commitment to sustainable fashion by re-wearing a gown by Jenny Packham, a classic piece previously worn to a state dinner in Malaysia in 2012. The royal blue gown with sheer sleeves exuded elegance, accessorized with a beaded clutch, Jimmy Choo heels, and matching earrings.

This isn’t the first time Middleton has recycled an evening gown, as she often re-wears pieces, whether it’s a neutral jean or dazzling evening wear. From her Alexander McQueen dress worn at the BAFTAs to her favorite Tartan coat, Middleton’s smart approach to dressing emphasizes investing in pieces that can be worn time and time again.

In an era where sustainability and eco-consciousness are key issues in fashion, Middleton’s dedication to recycled fashion sets an example for conscious dressing. With each re-worn outfit, she not only showcases her exquisite style but also advocates for a smarter, more sustainable approach to fashion.
