Another iconic Diana look in velvet by Victor Edelstein, which the royal donned for a trip to Germany in 1987. The gown is known as 'The Travolta dress' because Diana also wore it when she famously took to the dance floor with the Saturday Night Fever star at a White House party in 1985. Photo: Getty Images

In 1963, singer Bobby Vinton crooned 'She wore blue velvet...' and the song gained new life with David Lynch's film of the same name in 1986. Decades later blue velvet still has an irresistible allure. Need proof? Princess Charlene wore a floor-sweeping blue velvet gown for the annual Monaco Against Autism gala at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Club in November 2013, a look that still is on point nearly five year later.

Here's a great way to add texture to a simple skirt. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was standing tall in stilettos and a pencil skirt for an evening at the ballet with Argentina's President Mauricio Macri and his wife Juliana Awada in March 2017 in The Hague. What makes the outfit, though, is the royal's velvet top combined with sparkling jewels. Photo: Patrick van Katwijk/Getty Images
