Duchess Kate attends wedding and wears same dress as another guest

It was an awkward scene at a wedding in Gloucestershire this weekend when two guests turned up wearing the same outfit and one of them was the Duchess of Cambridge.

Photographed outside the wedding with Princes Harry and William, Kate was seen wearing a striking but tasteful blue tweed dress coat. Moments later another guest appeared wearing the exact same.

The two women seemed to follow the rule of thumb in this situation: do not stand next to each other.

Thankfully, the pair accessorised differently. Kate completed her look with a navy hat, dark pointed heels and a black clutch. The unidentified guest paired her dress with metallic pink open-toe heels and a white purse.

The Duchess wore the same dress to Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
