The Duchess of Cambridge has had years in the spotlight to perfect her royal wardrobe, but since she returned from maternity leave in October she's made some discreet tweaks to her style.
With a newcomer on the scene in the form of the glamorous Duchess of Sussex, Kate might have been tempted to switch things up dramatically, but instead she's been moving towards a more traditional look - inspired by none other than Her Majesty.
Writing in the Irish Independent, Bethan Holt commented on the subtle changes in Kate's wardrobe which are reflecting her status as 'Queen-in-waiting'.
She noted how Kate's taken inspiration from 'two of The Queen’s favourite fashion approaches - wearing bold colours so that she can be easily spotted in a crowd and showing thriftiness by using the same pieces over and over again.'
And Celebrity stylist Lucas Armitage agrees, telling Femail: 'Lately I'm noticing her wear more tailoring in head-to-toe looks, rather than individual pieces of tailoring.
Thrifty and perfectly co-ordinated! The Duchess of Cambridge has been increasingly been taking style notes from the Queen since returning from her maternity leave in October
The recycled blue dress Kate wore to BBC Broadcasting House in London earlier this month ticked three important regal style boxes - a bright colour, smart tailoring and recycling.

'Head-to-toe tailoring is a the Queen's go to so it makes sense for Kate's style to develop in this way.
'As a queen in waiting Kate has adopted a playful approach to colour, again something we are used to seeing the Queen have fun with.
Then there's the recycling, which is certainly nothing new for Kate who has made it something of a trademark.
However, she's certainly upped the ante of late - re-wearing recycled outfits on eight of her 13 official royal engagements since returning from maternity leave.
The Duchess of Cambridge, pictured in Alexander McQueen at Princess Eugenie's wedding in October, has increasingly been embracing colour co-ordination of late. Her Majesty is also known for her perfectly matching outfits and accessories
Embracing the handbag! The Duchess rarely strays from her beloved clutch bags but for a visit to a Mental Health Summit in London last month she made an exception with this accessory. The Queen is devoted to her Launer handbags and has been carrying the same style for years, allowing her to keep her hands free to greet people and accept flowers
And she set the tone for things to come be wearing a pair of Penelope Chilvers boots she's had for more than a decade on her first official engagement on returning from maternity leave.
Her choice of recycled pieces is also significant, with Kate choosing smartly tailored dresses and skirt suits that could easily have come from the Queen's wardrobe at some point.
She's even added a significant regal touch by carrying a handbag rather than her ever-present clutch when attending the

The Queen is said to favour a handbag over a clutch as it can be hooked on her wrist, leaving her free to shake hands and accept flowers with greater ease.
Edging towards a more traditional look also helps Kate differentiate herself from her sister-in-law the Duchess of Sussex and avoid the inevitable comparisons between the two women.
'The Duchess of Cambridge has been a trail blazing young member of the royal clan and until Meghan was totally unrivalled in the style stakes,' Lucas Armitage explained.
'It's great to see Meghan as another new royal and her individuals take on royal dressing and how it contests with Kate's.
'Whilst Meghan has brought a directional high glam look to royal style, Kate favours a more traditional take on her personal style.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
