Kate Middleton owns a custom version of Roksanda’s Brigitte dress in marigold yellow—a flowing, statement piece defined by the oversized bow on the shoulder.
She’s worn the bold yellow dress three times, in public, to date.
She debuted the dress in 2022 and has since worn it on three occasions in total: during the royal visit to Jamaica, at Wimbledon, and—most recently—at Royal Ascot 2026.
About the dress:
The Roksanda Brigitte is cut from crisp cotton poplin and falls to a graceful midi length. Its signature feature is the dramatic oversized bow at one shoulder, which gives the otherwise simple silhouette a real sense of occasion.
Below the waist, the softly pleated skirt has plenty of movement—it swishes beautifully with each step.
Kate wears a bespoke version of the ‘Brigitte’ dress. The ready-to-wear original is sleeveless, but hers was customised with added sleeves and a waistband to nip in the silhouette.
Roksanda later updated the Brigitte dress, adding sleeves and re-released it in more colours.
Where to buy Kate’s Roksanda dress:
The sleeveless version of the Brigitte dress in marigold is no longer available to buy.
The good news is that Brigitte is still available in several other colourways, and the company sell another near-identical dress too that is also a good option.
There’s the original sleeveless Brigitte in white (£1,395)—a lovely option for a summer garden party.
MyTheresa carries the same dress in pink, though at the time of writing, only in a UK6 (£847).
If you’ve missed out on the Brigitte in your size, Roksanda’s ‘Luna’ dress is near-identical and available in more sizes—in both burgundy and lilac (£645).
Kate Middleton and Roksanda:
Kate is no stranger to Roksanda—we’ve seen her wear five of the designer’s dresses to date.
The Brigitte is arguably the most memorable of them, largely because of that bold marigold shade. Kate doesn’t reach for vivid yellow very often, which is exactly why it makes such an impact whenever she does.
About Roksanda:
Established in 2005, Roksanda is a London-based fashion label founded by Serbian designer Roksanda Ilinčić.
The brand is known for its modern, feminine designs, often rendered in vibrant, confident palettes and architectural silhouettes—an aesthetic the Brigitte sums up perfectly.
