Leopard print is on the rise again, and who better to take fashion inspiration from than the Princess of Wales herself? Having sported several iconic leopard-print looks in the last few years, we're still obsessed with Kate Middleton's iconic Zara leopard print pleated skirt, and while it's still out of stock, Phase Eight has the perfect alternative to achieve Kate Middleton's trendy yet sophisticated vibe. The Josephine Animal Woven Hem Knit Dress from Phase Eight is a versatile midi that combines the two key elements of Kate's flawless ensemble, in one dress. Boasting a pleated leopard print skirt, just like Kate's Zara midi, the Josephine dress also features a black knitted long-sleeve top half, separated by a black leather belt detail.

Maintaining the same sense of elegance and sophistication, this Phase Eight number features a floaty skirt design, offering a "wonderful movement" as you walk. The pleated skirt provides a flattering fit for any body type while creating a chic silhouette as it swishes, in contrast to the fitted long-sleeve top.
While some versatility is lost from this top and skirt being combined into a dress , it does boast a lot of usability in its style .
