Members of the royal family have the most influence in the world of fashion. Their fashion choices are seen as a source of inspiration for millions, so every aspect of their outfits – from their shoes to their accessories – is carefully selected.
However, bright colors and fun patterns have often been the first choice for many women of the royal family in Britain over the years. Whether they are wearing specific colors in diplomatic clothing choices or simply wanting to stand out in a crowd, the ladies of Buckingham Palace have always proven that colors never go out of style.
Queen Elizabeth
The late Queen Elizabeth II was seen wearing a purple coat with a matching hat during a visit to the HMS Ocean in Plymouth, England in 2015. According to royal sources, Queen Elizabeth was known to choose bright clothing so that the public could easily recognize her in a crowd. “She needs to stand out so people can say they’ve seen the Queen,” the source said.
The Queen was fond of bright and monochromatic looks, but she rarely appeared in the color orange. Therefore, her appearance for a visit to the Science Museum in London in 2019 was unforgettable.
Queen Elizabeth, often seen wearing pearls and mesh hats, and like her daughter, would sport vibrant-colored ensembles. In 1990, she wore a polka-dotted yellow and white dress with a matching hat.
Who would have thought that blue was the Queen’s favorite color? After analyzing the Queen’s wardrobe for a whole year in 2012, Vogue magazine concluded that 29% of her outfits consisted of different shades of blue.
This was no coincidence. Her dress designer, Angela Kelly, earlier revealed that the Queen has the final say in all wardrobe decisions.
Kate Middleton
Shortly after her royal wedding to Prince William in 2011, Kate Middleton boarded the royal barge to attend the Diamond Jubilee pageant on the River Thames in a striking red dress.
By 2015, Kate Middleton had become one of the radiant members of the royal family, learning from her family that even outerwear can leave an elegant and unforgettable impression. She chose a fuchsia double-breasted coat to attend a wedding reception in London.
The vibrant green coat by Catherine Walker that Kate Middleton wore was dazzling enough during an official visit to Pakistan in 2019, but the stylish Kate added a touch of even more elegance with bright white trousers.
Princess Diana
In 1989, Princess Diana wore this unique color combination, and her red and pink Catherine Walker signature dress (one of her favorite designers) certainly made her stand out from a distance.
In 1990, Princess Diana chose to shine alongside Queen Elizabeth in two lively floral-patterned looks during their meeting at Clarence House to celebrate the Queen Mother’s 90th birthday.
In a similar vein, Princess Diana became known for her bold fashion choices, wearing an orange and black ensemble to the Liverpool Women’s Hospital in 1995. Her Versace outfit served as a signature of Lady Spencer’s post-royal style.
Meghan Markle
Not long after the announcement of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s plans to step back as senior members of the royal family, Meghan Markle dazzled her supporters with a sky-blue dress designed by Victoria Beckham.
At the Mountbatten Music Festival in 2020, Meghan Markle chose a bold red dress and a matching satin Manolo Blahnik clutch.
The members of the royal family hold a significant influence in the world of fashion, with their style choices often setting trends and inspiring millions of individuals globally. While their fashion decisions, including attire, accessories, and even colors, are meticulously scrutinized, the women of the British royal family have consistently embraced vibrant colors and playful patterns.
Whether making diplomatic statements through their clothing or simply aiming to make a memorable impression, the ladies of Buckingham Palace have effectively showcased the timeless allure of bright colors, affirming that colorful fashion remains a perennially stylish choice.
