On Sunday night Kate attended prince Philip’s 90th birthday meal, held at the three Michelin-starred restaurant The Waterside Inn, at Bray, Berkshire.
Kate was photographed wearing this coral coloured Stella McCartney dress:
Click here to view the photos of Kate in the dress.
The pink/red dress has a rose and bow detail on the high neck; it features long sleeves and a pencil skirt, with a pleated panel running down the front.
Kate purchased the dress in March:
Grazia posted an article on March 23rd stating that Kate purchased a coral silk dress from Stella McCartney’s S/S’09 collection – the very same dress that Madonna wore to the amFAR gala in Cannes. Kate has obviously saved the dress for a special occasion.
Kate purchased the dress, on sale for £305. It originally sold for £1,425.
A massive thank you to Leisa on What Kate Wore’s Facebook page for identifying this dress!
I think everybody agreed this outfit wasn’t the happiest choice for Kate but, having seen it on her now, I feel like I *desperately* need a coral dress in my wardrobe, somethink which I’d never even take into consideration before…
So I found some high street versions but I’m not sure which one is nicer; with your taste for fashion and eye for similarities, would you give me advice?

Oh my Chiara!! Those dresses you found are FAB – the second one (Miss Selfridge link) didn’t work though
IF you type me the name of it I will google it 
I will HAVE to do a coral ‘inspired by’ post now, I love hunting down my own but may include yours, if you’re OK with that? I still wanted to do a black and white monochrome one, but it’s finding the time. Will try and do both tonight!!!
The one on Yoox is MY FAVOURITE. Love Love Love it
