The Princess of Wales is such a sartorial icon, leaning into elegant silhouettes, beautifully sculpted suits, and classic tailoring for her usual public appearances. However, for the 2026 BAFTA Awards, her stunning Gucci gown took a far more ethereal turn. With layers of flowing chiffon in an ombre palette of soft mauve, and a deep plum velvet bandeau around the waist to echo the Prince of Wales' tuxedo jacket, she looked so chic and effortlessly stylish.
The way she wore this unexpected and 80s-coded color with such grace and elegance got me thinking how it might just be the perfect hue for my home, all thanks to the clever layering.
