Clean, classic and endlessly versatile, a blue cotton shirt is a true wardrobe essential - and it’s a staple both Cat Deeley and the Princess of Wales reach for on repeat. The royal and the TV star have been pictured wearing one on several occasions, and in a relatable twist, their go-to styles come from British high street favourite Boden.
- Cat Deeley, 49, and Princess Kate, 44, both love their blue cotton shirts from Boden
- Cat's is the Sienna Cotton Shirt in Blue Oxford, which you can still shop online for £59 or $99 if you're in the US, while Kate's is now sold out
- Cat's pure cotton shirt is available in 21 different prints and colours

The suit is almost identical to the iconic Gucci two-piece the Hollywood star wore for the 1996 MTV Music Awards, and Cat also styled her hair in an effortless up-do.

Made from 100% cotton, it has an easy straight fit and a curved hem that looks just as good tucked in as it does left loose.
Available in UK sizes 4-22 and three different lengths, it also come in 21 different prints and shades. Customers have been singing its praises, with one writing: "Beautiful as always, the best shirts anywhere."
Another wrote: "Beautiful shirt, pattern and fabric, perfect fit and length, love it!"
And another said: "Beautiful colour and extremely comfortable to wear. The length is perfect to tuck into trousers neatly. I have received many compliments. The style and length is perfect for me."
If the style looks familiar, it might be because the Princess of Wales wore a very similar shirt from Boden last spring. Princess Kate stepped out in Scotland in April and leaned into subtle couple dressing with her husband Prince William, both opting for sharp blazers for the occasion.

She completed the outfit with her trusty See By Chloé boots, a favourite she often turns when the itinerary calls for practicality without compromising on style.
