Express yourself, Kate Middleton!

The Duchess of Cambridge took a cue from pop royalty for her latest fashion statement. Us Weekly has the first Stateside snap at the 29-year-old's ensemble at a Sunday dinner at the Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire.

Prince William's bride wore a salmon-pink satin dress by British designer (and rock scion) Stella McCartney.

If the girly dress seems familiar, that's because none other than Madonna wore the exact same frock three years ago -- at a May 2008 amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. (The Queen of Pop, 53, has long been a close pal of designer McCartney; when she wore that particular McCartney dress, Madonna was just months away from divorcing British hubby Guy Richie.)

Princess Catherine chose the number to help wrap up Prince Philip's 90th birthday celebration; she joined her husband, his royal cousins Princesses Beatrice, Eugenie, Queen Elizabeth and others for a sumptuous meal at Waterside, one of the country's most acclaimed and expensive eateries.

It's not the first time the newly-minted royal has taken cues from Hollywood. At last Thursday's ARK charity event, she wore a glittery Jenny Packham gown first seen on Leighton Meester in an episode of Gossip Girl.

Just wanted to point out an error in the above article. Leighton Meester and HRH the Duchess did not wear the same dress. They are by the same designer but Ms. Meester's was a knee length with detailing at the waist while the Duchess' was floor length and no detailing at the waist. Get it right.

Madonna looks horrible, The Duchess classy and fresh. Ha, remember Madonnas phase "I write childrens books and I am a British lady", that was so ridiculous. She even tried a british accent and sounded like Russell Crowe (he can't do accents, too). Anyways, she can wear whateve she wants, but it is unfortunate when the same outfit is seen on someone as beautiful as Duchess Catherine.

Salt and sugar look alike too, but no one would mistake the taste of one for the other.
