Her regal dress featured a soft oatmeal hue, long sleeves, a high neck, a feminine belted waistline and a midi fit – and it retailed at a grand US $1,479 online.

For the wholesome occasion, the mother-of-one wore a super flattering grey, black and white mini dress from Maje, adorned in a black and white checked pattern. The long-sleeved dress contained an A-line skirt with a 'V-shaped design underneath the waistband, creating the ultimate contoured silhouette.

Her tulip-style skirt twirled with the royal as she spun around the dancefloor, leaving onlookers to marvel at her failproof fashion sense.
