I don’t know why it took me so long to realise it, but the Princess of Wales’s first Garden Party outfit of the year made it clearer than ever that she’s got a favourite silhouette for summer. She stepped out alongside Prince William at Buckingham Palace on 8th May wearing a head-to-toe monochrome outfit, featuring a Self Portrait blazer dress.
This design blended her old love of dresses with her current passion for tailoring to create a frock that felt elegant and powerful all at once. The delicate pleats in the midi-length skirt added volume and femininity, whilst the fitted bodice was belted and had a square neckline.
