Now here’s a royal family member that the commoners can get behind.
Princess Anne, younger sister of Britain’s King Charles III, made headlines this week when she stepped out at a posh affair wearing a dress she’d previously worn 57 years ago.
The occasion was Wednesday’s Nigerian state banquet at Windsor Castle,InStylereported.
Anne originally wore the white gown and cape in 1969 to a premiere of the movie “Run Wild, Run Free” when she was 18 years old.
“A glamorous young Anne stepped out for the event, which benefited the Textiles Benevolent Association, and donned the cream jacket at the Odeon Theatre in Leicester Square,” People magazinereported.
“She paired it then with a coordinating dress that had the same cut-out pattern around the neckline and hem, completing the look with a voluminous braided bouffant (a hot trend for the time then!), dangling earrings and gloves.”
This time around, Anne accessorized the ensemble — which had been modified with a new neckline — with diamond earrings, a matching necklace, and a royal tiara that is so famous it has a name: the Meander Tiara, also known as the Greek Key Tiara.
“But her white coat made the fashion splash,” People proclaimed.
Anne has actually long been a vocal proponent of “sustainable” fashion, and has decried so-called “fast fashion,” which all too often is worn and then discarded, according to InStyle.
“We need materials that can do more than one evolution of fashion,” the Princess Royal declared during a recent visit to Sri Lanka.
