Royal watchers know Princess Anne can't resist a good re-wear, often breaking things out of her closet that are decades old—or even pieces once owned by her mother. But on March 17, the Princess Royal proved she's the ultimate sustainable queen by wearing what appears to be a re-worked version of the same brocade dress she wore when she was just 21.
Princess Anne turned to an old favorite look—and a storied pearl choker—for the 2025 International Financial Review dinner at London's Grosvenor House Hotel. The royal, who serves as patron of Save the Children U.K., attended on behalf of the charity—and in a photo shared on X, she's wearing what looks like the gown she wore to accept the 1971 Sportswoman of the Year Award.
