Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is quite well-known for her thrifty fashion choices despite being a royal. She managed to once again steal the show on Thursday night in a teal blue ball gown she had first worn six years ago, as per reports. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked quite the suave couple as they made their way towards the Tusk Conservation Awards at Banqueting House, London.

Kate, who looked stunning at the event, reportedly recycled the sea green floor-length lace gown by British designer Jenny Packham for the event, a dress that she had initially worn back in 2012 to a gala event at the Royal Albert Hall to mark the countdown to the London Olympic Games.
