She may have been a yo-yo dieter in the past but Sarah Ferguson looked trimmer than ever in her latest ensemble.
The Duchess stunned for her appearance on a shopping channel in this colorblock dress from the king of figure-flattering frocks, Roland Mouret.
Ever since creating the iconic 'Galaxy' dress, Mouret's dresses, with their signatures folds, pleats and ruffles, have become synonymous with accentuating your curves.
We love Fergie's pick here for that delicious green and blue colorway, with the colorblock detail cleverly drawing attention to her waist. Styled with simple, nude courts and a box clutch, it'll look great at any occasion, from a summer wedding to a day in the office.
Sadly, this 'Pixton' dress was so popular it's now sold out, but click (right) to snap up the new season version now. Or get the look for less with our top alternatives below. We love this reduced French Connection offering, or splash out at Milly.

She revealed that before resorting to juicing she had tried more extreme liquid diets: 'I tried three weeks of drinking clay and water!'

Moving on: While Eugenie is back in the UK and Fergie is in Switzerland, Princess Beatrice has made a move of her own and started a job at a 'leading private equity firm' based in New York last month

She told E! News: 'I got to a point where I just couldn’t bare looking at myself any minute longer.
'I was 190 pounds (13 stone 5lbs) a year ago and I was miserable. You look at the top of the mountain, you think you’re never going to get there.'
The former royal also confessed to being a comfort eater, adding: 'I’ve been a comfort eater since I was about 12 years old and I used food as my friend.
'In fact, the size of my a** probably saved my life. Sorry, to speak like that, but let’s be honest. Had I not just chosen food as my friend, I would have chosen something else.'
Sarah has struggled with her weight over the years resorting to bizarre methods in a hope to shed the pounds.

But today she revealed she was feeling more confident than ever thanks to her weight loss. Pictured at 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala with Manuel Fernandez in May this year
In March last year she revealed to the Mail on Sunday that she the secret of her recent dramatic weight loss where she lost 42lbs in eight weeks was down to eating venison for breakfast, shredded broccoli in place of pasta, thick, green spinach smoothies and avocado mixed with cacao powder as a special treat.
This was part of an extreme eight week weight loss boot camp holing up in a luxury chalet in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier, together with a private chef and personal trainer Josh Salzmann.
Sarah earlier this month revealed how she is moving out of her ex-husband's mansion to begin an 'independent life' - almost 20 years after their divorce.
Sarah will also keep a room in the prince’s official residence, Royal Lodge at Windsor, as well as renting a flat in London for when she is in the capital ‘on business’.
Andrew is said to be supportive of his ex-wife’s decision and the pair remain close ‘as friends and parents’, said a source.
The move will spark speculation that she is stepping up her ‘intense friendship’ with internet entrepreneur Manuel Fernandez, 47, with whom she has had several luxury holidays recently.
