- Kate Middleton seems to have taken some style inspiration from Meghan Markle.
- Middleton stepped out in the same Diane von Furstenberg lace dress that Markle wore to an event in 2012.
- The designs varied slightly, with Middleton opting for a longer, black version of Markle's navy dress.
Actress Meghan Markle has become even more of a style icon since she started dating Prince Harry. She's so influential that it looks like Kate Middleton is even turning to her for fashion inspiration.
Middleton — who is expecting her third child in April — is also known for her exquisite fashion sense, and her latest ensemble looked a little familiar.
On Tuesday night, Middleton wore Diane von Furstenberg's "Zarita" dress to a charity gala at Kensington Palace.
If you recognize her dress, that's because Markle wore the same design to a USA Network Event in February 2012.
While they both look lovely in the Furstenberg design, they do differ slightly. Markle went for a navy blue color with a shorter length, while Middleton wore a slightly longer black version of the same design.
Whether Markle was Middleton's actual fashion inspiration or not, there's no doubt that both of them are completely owning the look.
