The Princess Royal’s timeless gown; 40 years apart  

Princess Anne, who knows best of an upcycling game, accompanied King Charles, capturing attention with a gown she first wore in 1985.

A side-by-side photo from 1985 and 2024 has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing her commitment to timeless fashion. The now-viral post is captioned “Queen of recycling 1985/2024."

The collage picture featured Princess Royal wearing the same elegant cream-coloured gown, featuring dramatic gigot sleeves and puffed shoulders, making a statement that style, elegance, and sustainability can go hand in hand. She was first seen in the same gown at the State Opening of Parliament in 1985.  

One fan commented. “Love her simplistic no frills style. It is just like her personality, no airs at all. Straight shooter like her father!” while another gushed, "As soon as I saw the shoulders and neckline I knew it was a Queening Recycle Move! Love her!"
