On Tuesday evening the gorgeous Helen Mirren stole the show at the premier of The Duke. We loved her gorgeous red dress from Needle & Thread. It was covered in both lace and sequins and looked magnificent with her David Morris jewels.

Feel like you’ve seen this dress before? You’d be right! The Duchess of Cambridge wore the very same frock in a midi version by the luxury brand back in Back in 2020, at an event at Buckingham Palace for a royal reception, on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen. Kate stole the show in the gown, and it’s been selling out ever since.

Perhaps Helen took inspiration from the royal for her latest look? And who can blame her – this fancy design is one of Kate’s most memorable outfits.

Helen looked stunning in her Needle & Thread dress

The long sleeve number is made in an uber-flattering, A-line silhouette with delicate frill lace detailing around the neck and arms. As soon as Kate stepped out in it, it sold out.

Luckily, you can still pick up the design even though it’s getting on for two years later. And what’s more, there’s now a mini-me version just for girls! How cute?
