The Royal Style Moments That Will Go Down In History

Who could forget the late Princess Di’s frothy 80s bridal gown? The beloved royal tied the knot in one huge (and no doubt uncomfortable) David and Elizabeth Emanuel frock, complete with billowing sleeves, train and ruffled neck. [Photo: PA Images]

Princess Di was the belle of the ball at the White House in the mid-80s in an off-the-shoulder velvet ballgown. This photo, depicting John Travolta spinning the royal around the dance floor, showed just how beautiful the fishtail skirt design was. [Photo: Rex]

This was the LBD worth a thousand words; the figure-hugging, ruched mini dress from Greek designer Christina Stambolian that Diana wore to a party at the Serpentine Gallery in 1994 while a documentary about the breakdown of her marriage to Prince Charles was airing. [Photo: PA Images]

Having opted for a bold harlequin style ensemble, the Queen was the star of the show at the 1997 Royal Variety Show in Birmingham. [Photo: Rex]

Back in 2002, when a then 19-year-old Kate Middleton strutted down St Andrews University Charity Fashion Show catwalk in a semi-sheer Charlotte Todd design, no one batted an eyelid (expect perhaps Prince William). Fast-forward almost a decade when the photo re-emerged, and the world went crazy for potentially the most risqué outfit a royal has ever worn. [Photo: Rex]

The blue, satin Issa London wrap dress, which Kate wore for her engagement announcement in 2010, sold out in minutes online making it one lusted after royal wardrobe addition. [Photo: PA Images]

Princess Beatrice’s ‘pretzel’ Philip Treacy hat mustered almost as much attention as Kate’s Alexander McQueen dress when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wed in 2011. It was so ridiculed that a Facebook group - named Princess Beatrice’s Ridiculous Hat - was even set up in its honour. Eugenie’s ‘frumpy’ Vivienne Westwood suit was also something of a style miss.

Kate’s bespoke Alexander McQueen wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton, sparked something of a revival. The dress’ long, lace sleeves and ‘ladylike’ style prompted more designers to follow suit, sending similar designs down the runway at catwalk shows. [Photo: PA Images]

Kate received praise worldwide when she left hospital in July 2013, cradling her baby bump after giving birth to Prince George. The new mum donned a feminine polka dot Jenny Packham number for the occasion, which sold out in the blink of an eye. [Photo: PA Images]

Kate (or her stylist) picked out this wow-factor Erdem number for ‘The 100 Women in Hedge Funds’ event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2015. And what a winner. The Duchess looked spectacular in the floral frock, which cinched in at the waist and boasted a billowing skirt. [Photo: PA Images]

The Duke of York’s oldest daughter caused a splash when she turned up to her grandmother’s 90th birthday service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral in a striking monochrome coat dress. The 28-year-old royal was likened to a ‘storm trooper’ online and hit multiple headlines. [Photo: PA Images]

In her 90 years on this planet, Queen Elizabeth II has worn just about every colour under the sun. So, for the 2016 Trooping The Colour, Her Majesty decided to make a splash in something a little different: An acid green ensemble that will go down in history. [Photo: PA Images]
