If there's one person who can make a Zoom call look chic, it's Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (AKA Kate Middleton) who channelled her inner French girl during a surprise appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Kate, alongside Prince William, have been making the rounds via video call to various essentials workers who have been instrumental in the fight against coronavirus, including the incredible WWII hero Capitan Tom Moore.

While most of us are working from home, doing our daily video conference calls in our comfiest loungewear and slippers, Kate ups the ante on WFH cool in a striped Breton jumper, that we need in our wardrobes, like RN.

While the long-sleeved white and navy sweater by JoosTricot is currently sold out, you can still pick up the navy version for £319 approx on the designer's website:

And if you think this look is familiar, you're not wrong. With Kate first wearing the nautical inspired sweater on a royal engagement in 2019.

Stepping out at Cutty Sark in Greenwich last May to launch the King's Cup Regatta - a preppy affair if ever we've heard of one - wearing the quintessential French girl outfit: a striped top, tailored trousers, heels and a red clutch.

Here's Kate looking approximately three zillion bucks:

Two words: YAS, KATE.

The striped top featured a crew neck collar, long sleeves and alternating navy and white horizontal stripes. As for the matching trousers, the tailored leg style is distinguished by two nautical-inspired white buttons on either side of the waist. Nice.

When it comes to accessories, the Duchess kept things ~classic~ with blue suede pumps and a dainty red clutch bag.

Can we also take a second to just appreciate how damn perfect her hair is? Talk about a flawless blow out:
