A third noted: "Literally the most beautiful the Princess has ever looked! By far her best outfit yet, what a classic beauty!! Wow!!" and a fourth penned: "Absolutely no words to describe how stunning Princess of Wales looks tonight."

Some even noted how Princess Diana would approve of Kate's new look – especially the off-the-shoulder cut which the late royal introduced into the canon of iconic dresses. "Entering her revenge era, ok!" one comically mentioned.

HURR, who sourced Kate's exquisite gown, pioneer the implementation of a sharing economy, by which clothing can be recycled, refashioned and reworn on multiple occasions for various events. This also allows renters to experiment with their style, just as the princess has done with her gorgeous green dress.
