Just a few months after tying the knot, Prince William and Kate Middleton helped another royal couple to-be celebrate their impending nuptials aboard one ultra-fab yacht.

And rather than break out a new outfit for Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's pre-wedding party, the Duchess of Cambridge donned the same green Diane von Furstenburg dress she wore while visiting Los Angeles earlier this month.

And that's why we love her (This isn't the first time she's repeated an outfit).

Kate did make a slight change to the look she sported on her first night in L.A. though. Rather than wearing black pumps with the form-fitting frock, she paired the dress with nude heels instead.

The royal couple went on to mix and mingle with guests, including Prince Harry and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, at the pre-wedding cocktail party for Phillips and Tindall on the Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh Friday evening.

And thankfully, Beatrice arrived sans wacky fascinator.

While this was the first of many events the couple will engage in prior to their upcoming wedding, don't expect a big to-do like William and Kate's.

There will be no TV cameras, horse-drawn carriages or crowds lining the street when Prince William's cousin marries her rugby player beau in a private ceremony Saturday afternoon, according to People.
