Can someone say twinning?

Kate Middleton knows how to dress for any occasion—whether she’s stepping out in the season's hottest trends, reviving Y2K looks or giving us full regal glam. But for her latest outing, the Princess of Wales took a surprising style cue from none other than Prince William. Yep, it looks like she’s been shopping his signature look: the classic navy suit.

On June 10, Princess Catherine visited the V&A East Storehouse, a brand-new cultural space in East London. And while the event was all about celebrating creativity and craft, I couldn’t help but focus on her outfit. She wore a perfectly tailored Alexander McQueen navy suit with a crisp white blouse and sleek black heels. Her hair was styled in soft curls with a slightly off-center part and she finished the look with a Laura Lombardi chain necklace and coordinating navy-and-white earrings.

Kensington Palace shared a series of snaps from the visit, captioning them, “Celebrating the joy of creative opportunity and craft at the V&A East Storehouse. Great to see these incredible collections are now accessible to everyone, allowing us to enjoy our nation’s exceptional talent and history.”

And while I love a good fashion moment from the Princess of Wales, I couldn’t help but notice the familiar silhouette. Prince William is practically synonymous with a navy suit—he wears the look on repeat for public engagements, royal events and even casual occasions. And apparently, it’s become a bit of a family thing.

Last year, during a father-son day at the FA Cup Final, William and Prince George showed up in near-identical navy suits. William added his signature striped tie and George looked like a royal mini-me in his own tailored version.

So is the navy suit now the unofficial Wales family uniform? Seems like it. Charlotte and Louis, you’re up next.
