Princess Anne Re-wears Iconic Gown
Princess Anne is again on the news for promoting sustainable fashion. This time she proves that beauty and responsibility are not mutually exclusive. She looked stunning in a cream gown with a four-decade history when she attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace on December 3 to host the Qatari royal family along with her father, King Charles.
The Princess Royal chose a sophisticated cream dress with intricate floral embellishments, shimmering beaded trim, and dramatic gigot sleeves. Impeccable tailoring might make one believe that the gown is freshly crafted, but this elegant piece dates back 40 years.
Originally worn by Princess Anne in 1985 during the State Opening of Parliament, when she was just 35, the gown was radiating timeless beauty then and does now. By reviving this treasured piece, Anne proved that quality craftsmanship stands the test of time.
Anne wore the gown with the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara, a diamond-encrusted family heirloom from her late grandmother, the Queen Mother. This stunning accessory added to her regal charm and was a perfect complement to her ensemble.
