    We saw a lot of Kate Middleton dressing like Princess Diana on her Pakistan tour last week, however it seems like we didn't see all of her beautiful outfits, since an unseen picture of her on the trip just emerged on a fashion blog.

    The picture shows the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge mingling at a reception held at the British High Commission. For the occasion, Kate wore a pale blue maxi wrap dress adorned with delicate floral motif.

    Eagle-eyed fans managed to identify the brand as none other than British high-street favourite Ghost. The Avery wrap floral dress cost just £195, but has sadly sold out everywhere online from John Lewis to ASOS.

    However Ghost has plenty of similar styles on the site, including the Adorlee dress which you could totally layer over a cashmere roll-neck and team with white boots for now, swapping over for some wedges like Kate come summer.

    Whilst you might wonder why she opted for a British brand, you'll be interested to hear that Ghost’s creative director Sameera Azeem is originally of British Pakistani heritage, which likely influenced the fact that the Duchess wore the brand to the British High Commission in Pakistan.

    Since returning from Pakistan, the Duchess has kept busy, editing her first ever Instagram post just this week, highlighting her visit to an SOS village in Lahore.

    She wrote, 'The community at the SOS village is built around family – and the best possible family you could imagine – where everyone comes together to nurture, love and protect the children in their care. These vulnerable children, many of who have come through traumatic circumstances, are nurtured in this caring environment and are able to form these quality relationships that they so desperately need to thrive. – Catherine'

    We've got all the Ghost discount codes to make your basket a whole lot more affordable.
