Famed for her love of 'recycling' clothes for public appearances, the Queen's only daughter attended an official event during a trip to Papua New Guinea this week wearing a cheerfully patterned dress that would have struck royal-watchers as familiar.
The retro-style dress – a look that's been seen a lot on the catwalks this season – appears to have been a two-piece suit in a previous life. Mother-of-two Anne wore the suit to Ascot in 1987 and, obviously feeling that style is timeless, again in 1995.
Now the white and sunshine yellow item has been re-born as a one-piece. It's not known if the original suit was re-worked or if the new incarnation is an update using the same fabric: the 55-year-old Princess Royal keeps her fashion secrets as skilfully as she does her slender figure. |
