The Princess of Wales recycled a winning look as she launched a campaign for Addiction Awareness Week.
Kate, 40, shared a heartfelt message of support as she kicked off the Taking Action on Addiction campaign with a video recorded from Kensington Palace.
The mother-of-three donned a silky navy polka dot Tory Burch shirt with a scallop collar, which she first wore last year, for the occasion.
She completed the look with diamond studded gold hoop earrings and pearls.

The Princess of Wales looked stylish and poised during the video recording, in her fuss-free ensemble.
She first wore the shirt during a visit to Wolverhampton in May 2021 to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
The dotted number is adorned with a pretty scalloped white collar and long sleeves with matching white cuffs.
Kate paired the top with a pair of Baroque Pearl Drops from the British jeweler Annoushka Jewellery and diamond studded hoop earrings by Kiki McDonough she is thought to have worn before.
The mother-of-three, who debuted a lighter hazelnut hair colour in September, opted for a luscious wavy blow-dry, leaving her tresses cascading past her shoulders.
She wore a glowing everyday makeup look, pairing a sculpted brow with black eyeliner and a light foundation base.

She completed her makeup with rosy pink lipstick, and a dash of peach blush that complimented her dewy complexion.
The Princess of Wales, who is the patron of addiction recovery charity The Forward Trust, said addiction is ‘a serious health condition’ and ‘not a choice’.
Her message of support for the Taking Action on Addiction campaign comes in the form of a video on the first day of Addiction Awareness Week.
In the video, Kate, 40, appears to be speaking from home as she is sitting on a couch with framed family photographs visible behind her.
She says: ‘Addiction is a serious mental health condition that can happen to anyone, no matter what age, gender, race or nationality.
The Taking Action on Addiction campaign aims to reframe existing perceptions of addiction, build awareness of the causes and nature of addiction, improve understanding, reduce prejudice and enable more people to get help.

‘As patron of The Forward Trust, I have met many people who have suffered from the effects of addiction. Attitudes to addiction are changing.
‘But we are not there yet, and we need to be. Still the shame of addiction is stopping people and families asking for help and people are still tragically losing their lives.’
Kate, who is mother to George, Charlotte and Louis, said society must recognise that ‘the only way to help those suffering is to try and understand what has led them to addiction’.
She said others must ’empathise with them’, and be ‘compassionate’.
The Princess of Wales added: ‘And so today, during Addiction Awareness Week, I want to share a message of support to those who are continuing to suffer.
‘Please know that addiction is not a choice. No one chooses to become an addict.
‘I want you to know that this is also a serious health condition. Please do not let shame hold you back from getting the help you so desperately need.
‘The charities leading the Taking Action on Addiction Campaign, along with others, are working across the country delivering life changing work to help people recover and move forward.
‘They are here for you. So please ask for help. I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible.’
The Taking Action on Addiction campaign aims to reframe existing perceptions of addiction, build awareness of the causes and nature of addiction, improve understanding, reduce prejudice and enable more people to get help.
Mike Trace, chief executive of The Forward Trust, said: ‘Addiction Awareness Week speaks directly to people impacted by addiction, offering support and understanding so that more people ask for and receive help.’
