Kate Middleton wore Gabriela Hearst’s blue denim Marley shirt dress to meet Sir David Attenborough in 2020.
We spotted the Princess wearing the garment in a photograph released by Kensington Palace.
The Princess hasn’t worn the denim shirt dress in public since, but I can see her wearing it again for one of her more relaxed, fun engagements in the future.
The ultimate warm-weather wardrobe essential:
Looking for the perfect shirt dress for spring-summer? This lightweight denim dress will take you through the season. Perfect for brunch with friends, outdoor picnics, or a day of shopping.
The Marley dress available today—in 2023—is crafted from a linen-flax fabric that provides breathable comfort, while the calf-length, flared silhouette offers a chic, airy feel.
The garment features a pointed collar and a mid-length flared skirt. The rolled-up sleeves are adjustable and can be fastened with push-stud cuff strips. A thin belt sits at the waist and closes with a silver-coloured lobster clasp.

A linen-flax blend was available too:
