The celebration – which honors the Queen’s 70 years on the throne – kicked off on Thursday with the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Middleton stunned during the ceremony in a white Alexander McQueen coat dress, paired with her late mother-in-law’s diamond and sapphire earrings. She also wore Diana’s matching necklace.

QUEEN ELIZABETH THROUGH THE YEARS
People have also drawn comparisons to Middleton’s entire look being inspired by another Diana moment in 1991. At the time, the late-princess wore an all-white look to watch a parade of military personnel who served in the Gulf War.

This tiara was a favorite of Diana's and was worn by the Queen several times as well.

The Duchess of Cambridge was not the only member of the royal family honoring the past during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Middleton dressed her son, Prince Louis, 4, in the same sailor suit Prince William wore during the Trooping of Colour ceremony when he was just 2-years-old.
