As Tyra Banks would say: Face mask… but make it FASHION. If anyone would have told us back in early spring that face masks with matching outfits was going to be the hottest look of 2020, well, we definitely wouldn’t have believed them. The face mask coordinated sets trend, though, seems to be Instagram official with influencers, celebrities and especially royals fully embracing it. Both Queen Mathilde of Belgium AND her 18-year-old daughter, Princess Elisabeth, have matched their face mask to their dresses, demonstrating this trend transcends generations. And now even Kate Middleton's favourite labels are getting into the matchy-matchy face mask style!
