We are digging Kate Middleton's thrifty fashion sense.

Earlier today, Prince William's beautiful, pregnant wife wore a cute black Vanessa Dress from Seraphine that retails at—wait for it—$99! We love when the royals are budget-friendly! She paired the pretty frock under a bright pink Mulberry coat for her day of appearances and some black leggings.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped things up a bit tonight and looked ultra-glamorous for the St. Andrews 600th anniversary dinner, meant to fund scholarships for students from underserved communities, new sports facilities, investment in media and science programs and a lectureship in American Literature, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

But this is the best part—Kate opted to wear a gown she's already worn to multiple appearances! Aw, royals...they're just like us!

Middleton looked gorgeous in a Jenny Packham (of course!) off-the-shoulder midnight blue gown with diamond and emerald earrings, and if you follow the royal's fashion evolution, you might recall that the brunette beauty rocked this same exact look late last year and earlier this year.

Kate wore Jenny Packham at the 100 Women in Hedge Funds dinner in October 2013 and again three months later at the National Portrait Gallery.

At least we know that when it comes to recycling, Kate Middleton is about that life.
