No-nonsense Princess Anne has perfected her royal style down to a reliable formula. An elegant, practical coat, sensible shoes, a dress she's been wearing since 1982...maybe throw in a tartan scarf for good measure. And her hair? Forever in its signature teased French twist, which she once revealed took her "10 or 15 minutes" to do in an ITV documentary (via the Independent). But on Tuesday, July 9, the Princess Royal attended a state banquet at Windsor Castle with a very different hairstyle than usual as she celebrated the visit of French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.
Anne, ever the outfit recycler, chose the same bridal-like, embellished Maureen Baker gown and beaded white bolero she wore for one of her 70th birthday portraits in 2020. Like Queen Camilla, the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Gloucester, she chose white to honor the French flag, with Princess Kate and Brigitte Macron wearing gowns to reflect the red and blue shades of the country.
