Here’s why everyone loves Kate Middleton — she doesn’t try hard to be beautiful; she just is!

Kate recently attended the London premiere of ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’ with Prince William.

The lovely princess came out in a recycled Roland Mouret dress that she first wore in 2012. She coordinated with an affordable Zara necklace.

It might be hard to believe that any member of the royal family could and would settle for such a simple accessory, but Kate seems to be a breath of fresh air, and as always, she easily pulled off the look.

She has definitely mastered the art of mixing high and low fashion!
