Shoppers are rushing to snap up M&S replica of Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen dress & it's a fraction of the price | The Sun

AN increasing number of high-street stores are flogging designer dupes for a fraction of the cost – and M&S is no different…

So, if you're hoping to dress like royalty for a fraction of the price, then it could just be your lucky day!

Most recently, M&S sent fashion fans into a frenzy after they spotted a convincing dupe of the stunning pink Alexander McQueen bespoke dress Kate Middleton wore to the Trooping the Colour parade in 2017.

Both dresses look near-identical and offer a strikingly similar subtle gathering at the neckline, elegant midi length style and satin-look finish.

However, there's one major difference – the M&S version costs just £49.50.

The 'Satin Round Neck Midi Tea Dress,' which is available in sizes 6-24, features long sleeves and a waist-skimming cut.

Meanwhile, the flowing, midi-length skirt offers a flattering silhouette – making it the perfect choice of outfit to wear if you're celebrating King Charles' Coronation this weekend.

And if you really want to go to town on recreating Kate's look from 2017, then try adding some silver jewellery and styling your hair in a chic updo.

But be warned – if you want to feel like a princess for a day, you better be quick – as the trending frock is flying off the shelves!
