Kate Middleton owns the L.K. Bennett’s Addison dress in blue and purple.

We first spotted her in the dress back in 2016. She wore it to host the President and First Lady of the United States for dinner at her Kensington Palace apartment.

About the L.K. Bennett Addison dress:

The dress is made from 100% silk and decorated with a beautiful blue flecked print.  It features a fitted waist and full midi skirt that hits well below the knee and has elegant sheer selves and a keyhole opening at the back.

Here’s how L.K. Bennett described the piece on their website at the time:

An eye-catching dress, timeless in its style and fashion-forward in its execution. Addison is ideal for events, both formal and casual, with its jewel-toned print, feminine transparent sleeves and ankle grazing length. A dress you’ll wear for seasons to come.

Note:  Kate added a blue belt to her L.K. Bennett Addison dress.  This did not come with the dress.

Buying the Addison dress:

It’s been six or seven years since we’ve seen the Princess wear this dress—unfortunately, the brand no longer stock it in the blue-purple colourway. As of Feb 2023, they do sell it in a navy and cream graphic print, plus in a navy and cream polka dot. It’s been updated with a gathered neckline. Click here to shop!

Elevate your wardrobe with the Addison dress – a sophisticated and versatile midi that will make you feel like royalty. This dress has been updated with a gathered neckline and a navy and cream polkadot print. With its figure-skimming fit, three-quarter sleeves and flippy midi-length skirt, the Addison is the epitome of effortless elegance. .
