The best royal gowns in history | Bazaar UK

Royal fashion has always made international headlines and sparked interest with the public around the world. Whether it s Kate Middleton championing the Great British high street; or everything Meghan Markle wears selling out in seconds; Princess Diana s groundbreaking wardrobe; or the Queen s classic style and priceless jewellery; there will always be a fascination with royal fashion and the clothes that royal women choose to wear. We know that what someone wears matters - particularly if they are of such a high-profile as the royal family - and so the women use this opportunity to shine a spotlight on brands and designers they think worthy of such a great platform, as well as to send a message about their own values. The Duchess of Cambridge is regularly seen rewearing her favourite styles in an attempt to promote circular fashion and a more sustainable way of dressing, while the Duchess of Sussex often uses her wardrobe to promote emerging talents and pieces by a diverse range of designers. The royal women are also cleverly adept at using their wardrobe to pay respect to a country or city that they are visiting, by showcasing the work of local designers. But while their daily choices are interesting (and more shoppable), it s the formalwear that really makes the headlines; those fairytale dresses that remind the public that they are royalty - Queens, princesses and duchesses.
