Elizabethan England (History Of Costume And Fashion) By Princess
The final design of the dress was kept secret, although much speculation surrounded it. It was said the princess feared that if details were published fashion house copies would make it impossible for her to make last-minute design alterations.[11] The dress was taken to the palace a day before the wedding in a 4-foot (1.2 m) box. On the wedding day, the dress glittered, bejewelled with pearls "skilfully combined with flowing lines of wheat ears, the symbol of fertility, and worked in pearl and diamante."[9]
Elizabethan England (History of Costume and Fashion) by princess
From her wedding dress to her "revenge dress," the people's princess rocked some seriously gorgeous gowns throughout the '80s and '90s. Diana's distinctive fashion won't be soon forgotten, and both celebrities and designers alike still look to her iconic style today. Read on to see 50 of the most stunning dresses Princess Diana ever wore.
The moment Meghan Markle walked down the aisle in a breathtaking gown by Clare Waight Keller for her wedding with Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, she redefined what it means to be a royal and shifted culture as we know it. The Duchess of Sussex's entrance into the public eye has simultaneously thrust her into the fashion world. \nThe 41-year-old multihyphenate designed a collection with Canadian clothing brand Reitmans, having worked as the label's brand ambassador in 2016. The fashionable duchess also launched a capsule collection with Smart Works in 2019 to benefit working women in the UK. Not to mention, she guest edited British Vogue's September 2019 Forces For Change issue, which featured influential women like Gemma Chan, Jane Fonda, and former First Lady Michelle Obama. \nFrom her captivating beauty to her sophisticated yet unconventional style, people are constantly left in awe by Markle, just as they were with Princess Diana. While the former actress has become a royal style icon in her own right, some of her greatest fashion moments are clear odes to her late mother-in-law, who has held a lasting legacy as the royal trendsetter and is currently being remembered in HBO's new documentary \"The Princess.\" \nIn her own way, Markle successfully allows us to relive the ever-so-iconic moments of Diana's unparalleled style. Perhaps your mind goes straight to the time the duchess stepped out in a purple and red colorblock outfit while pregnant with Archie, directly reminiscent of Diana's innovative looks during her global travels in the early '90s. Markle also notably made her debut at the 2018 Royal Ascot wearing Givenchy, allowing the world to relive the unforgettable moment they saw Diana in a similar black and white ensemble by Tomasz Starzewski at the same event. \nMore recently, Markle has managed to keep Diana's peerless legacy alive with her appearance at Trooping the Colour in a classy ensemble consisting of an off-the-shoulder navy dress and a wide-brim hat from Stephen Jones Millinery. Like Diana, Markle has developed a reputation for making clean color palettes and combinations look extraordinary. \nIf you, too, like to compare their similar sartorial moments, keep reading to find 12 standout lookalike outfits throughout history.\n\n Related:\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Meghan Markle Pays Ode to Princess Diana in Pinstripe Pants at Lili's Birthday Party\n \n \n","id":48850332,"type":"gallery","photo_source":"Image Sources: Getty \/ Max Mumby \/ Indigo and Getty \/ Karwai Tang","permalink":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fashion\/meghan-markle-princess-diana-outfits-48850332","canonical":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fashion\/meghan-markle-princess-diana-outfits-48850332","share_text":"12 Times Meghan Markle Paid Tribute to Princess Diana's Iconic Style","use_tall_image":false,"omit_from_countdown":false,"caption_num":false,"slide_tags":"Meghan MarkleThe RoyalsNostalgiaPrincess DianaThe British Royals","is_cover":true},"image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/GFmDbJjBQ3ufX-NX_6d8OM79Rik\/fit-in\/1024x1024\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2022\/08\/16\/767\/n\/1922564\/870497ded35444b9_GettyImages-1182713958\/i\/While-attending-One-Young-World-Summit-opening-ceremony-in-London.jpg","share_image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/8KQ0QtgVjfsa3dGnMSgdC1W5scw\/fit-in\/2048xorig\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2022\/08\/16\/767\/n\/1922564\/870497ded35444b9_GettyImages-1182713958\/i\/While-attending-One-Young-World-Summit-opening-ceremony-in-London.jpg","title":"","intro_text":false,"body":"While attending the One Young World Summit opening ceremony in London in October 2019, Markle took a page out of her late mother-in-law's book and opted for a classic purple ensemble for the fancy occasion.
