The newlywed Duchess of Cambridge visited the country with her husband, William.
One year later, the Princess wore the Joseph dress again—to visit Wimbledon.
About the Joseph Vanessa dress:
Sleek and sophisticated, clean lines and contemporary cuts are intrinsic to the Joseph aesthetic. The Vanessa Dress is a feminine and functional piece. The sweet silhouette is ultra-flattering.

About Joseph:
Kate has worn clothing by Joseph on a number of notable occasions, including to the Epsom Derby in 2011, during a visit to Buckingham Palace with The Queen in 2011, at the Cheltenham Festival in 2013 and during a visit to Edinburgh in 2021.
About Joseph:
On Joseph’s about page, they say the brand “modernised women.” The company was founded in the late sixties by hairdresser Joseph Ettedgui, who created a boutique that was “more magazine than clothes shop.”
Today, under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, Joseph presents a high contemporary ready-to-wear collection with a strong core of luxury essentials.
