The mother of three stepped off the plane in a custom-made aqua dress and matching pants. The dress features a draped neckline and long sleeves like the traditional shalwar kameez, a lightweight outfit that usually includes a loose-fitting tunic top with pants underneath.

The Duchess of Cambridge finished off the elegant look with a pair of nude high heeled shoes and with her signature bouncy mane left to flow freely past her shoulders.

The look now has many people recalling history that Princess Diana wore a similar outfit while on a visit to Pakistan in 1996. The royal had also worn a bespoke ensemble inspired by the traditional Pakistan fashion in a similar shade of light blue during her stay.

IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME MIDDLETON'S OUTFIT WILL BE CONNECTED TO THAT OF A FELLOW ROYAL

It is not the first time Middleton will be having such a "fashion choice" connection with other women of the royal family.

On a recent visit to the Natural History Museum, of which she is patron, she wore a fall-themed ensemble, including green khaki culottes from one of her favorite brands, "Jigsaw," and a burgundy sweater with a scalloped neckline.

It is reported that Middleton and her actress sister-in-law Meghan Markle seem to favorite British retailer, "Jigsaw," as the latter was also spotted rocking clothes from the store while attending a charity capsule collection for "Smart Works."

From the reactions to Middleton's fashion choices, however, there is no one complaining!
