Everything she touches turns to gold and her appearance after welcoming her first daughter was no different.

凯特王妃似乎能够点物成金，女儿出生后首次亮相的着装也不例外。

Indeed, after the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a sunny buttercup Jenny Packham dress cradling Princess Charlotte in her arms on Saturday, sales of yellow dresses went through the roof.

E-tailer ebay.co.uk saw yellow dress sales increase by 58 percent as a result of the 'Kate effect'.

Royal family fans who were impressed by Kate's ability to manoeuvre¹ down the hospital steps in a pair of Jimmy Choo Gilbert nude² heels so soon after giving birth were clearly paying attention; nude heel sales also spiked³ by 94 percent.

And it wasn't just on British turf that shoppers were rushing to emulate⁴ Kate's style; sales of yellow floral dresses increased by 208 percent for the online retailer⁵ in Australia, too.

The same thing happened during 2014's royal tour, when the Duchess wore two different yellow dresses in two days, sending eBay into a frenzy⁶ and spiking⁷ yellow dress sales by 93 percent.
