Royal christenings have always been a big deal in the royal family, and today’s ceremony featuring baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was no different—except for how private new parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry decided to keep the day. Luckily, despite the strict 25-guest limit on the intimate event, the royals decided to gift the public with two portraits from the Saturday (July 6) ceremony. Not only did we see Markle stunning in Dior for the occasion, we also got a glimpse at her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, looking equally elegant for the event.

In the first photos released from Baby Archie’s christening, Middleton is seated on the far right of a royal family portrait in a bright outfit. She’s posing in a pink pussy-bow dress and a very Blair Waldorf-esque headband, finished with a pair of magenta heels.

It didn’t take long for royal fans to hunt down the designer of Middleton’s look. Who’s responsible? None other than Stella McCartney, a designer previously worn by both the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex.

And it’s not the first time Middleton’s worn the dress: Dedicated style blog What Kate Wore pointed out that Kate chose the same look for the Queen’s Christmas lunch in December 2018. There was one key difference between the dress’s first appearance and its styling in the royal christening portrait: The first time around, Middleton didn’t style it with one of her now-favorite padded headbands.

Using stylish accessories to update a dress? Looks like the royals are relatable in one more way. Here’s the look in December:
