Kate is definitely in her Diana moment. And to transform her mood into reality, she has a very faithful ally: Alessandra Rich.

It was not only the polka dot motif that reminded us of something but also the design and silhouette had something already seen. The silk dress has a flounce on the hips, the same as the outfit chosen by Kate for her return from the Caribbean tour for that explicit homage to Diana.

To underline the link with the princess who died in 1997 there was not only the inevitable diamond and sapphire engagement ring but the set matched with the pendant and earrings from which Kate lately seems not to want to part.

You realize that you, judging from what we have seen on the Duchess of Cambridge, you do quite well.

Tatiana Santo Domingowife of Andrea Casiraghi and daughter-in-law of Carolina di Monaco, was paparazzi with the same dress at the wedding of the couple of friends which took place in Rome on June 4th.
