Lorraine Kelly channels KATE in a dress that’s VERY similar to the Duchess Alessandra Rich number  

It seems the queen of daytime TV is taking her style cues from the Duchess of Cambridge.  

Lorraine Kelly, 58, wore a navy polka dot dress on Wednesday’s Lorraine that looked strikingly similar to the designer frock Kate wore in official photos released to mark her father-in-law Prince Charles’ 70th birthday last week. 

Lorraine’s mid-length shirt dress from Zara looked almost identical to the Duchess’  Alessandra Rich number, but costs just a fraction of the price at £39.99.

Kate, 36, dazzled in the dress as she posed with her husband William and their three children, Harry and Meghan, and Charles and Camilla for a series of portraits captured in the gardens at Clarence House.

The TV presenter’s dress has strikingly similar features to the £1,750 designer number, such as a contrasting white shirt collar, long sleeves and matching white cuffs. 

The vintage-inspired dress features a flattering elastic waistband, a pleated skirt and a button-up front.

Lorraine kept her accessories simple, teaming the high street dress with LK Bennett navy courts and a pop of red nail polish.  

When Kate chose the Alessandra Rich dress for her father-in-law’s birthday photo shoot, royal fans pointed out she’s not the first in the family to wear the style.  

Diana, who was 24 at the time, wore a similar navy midi dress featuring large white collars and a bow at the front, for a photograph taken at her home at Kensington Palace back in 1985.

Kate Middleton wore the Alessandra Rich dress in official photographs to mark His Royal Highness's 70th birthday celebrations. The set of photographs taken at Clarence House show cute outtakes of Prince Louis grabbing his grandfather's face as Kate laughs.

Fans quickly pointed out the similarities between the two dresses, with one commenting: ‘I knew that dress look familiar!’

Kate may have also taken inspiration from Abigail Spencer, a former Suits co-star of her sister-in-law Meghan, who wore the same Alessandra Rich dress to the royal wedding back in April. 

And the Duchess’ younger sister, Pippa, chose an Alessandra Rich shirt dress with a similar exaggerated collar for the christening of her new nephew Prince Louis in July.
