Iconic Royal Dresses To Go On Display

Think Kate Middleton is a royal style icon? You aint seen nothing yet.

Kensington Palace have announced that their summer exhibition will show some of the royal families most iconic looks, plucked from the wardrobes of the Queen, Diana Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.

Entitled Fashion Rules: Dresses From the Collections of HM The Queen, Princess Margaret, and Diana, Princess of Wales, the exhibition promises to  "to get up close to these wonderful dresses and be transported to the times in which they were worn. Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales all have a special connection with Kensington Palace, making it the perfect location to celebrate theses modern royal women in their fashion heyday".

No clues as to which dresses will be on show yet, but as the hook for the exhibition is to highlight a "new take" on royal style, we have a hunch Diana's style evolution (from 1980s Sloane to 90s designer shift dresses), and Princess Margaret will feature heavily. Margaret was the Kate Middleton of her day, who wore Christian Dior's New Look during the 1950s, and in the 1960s her outfits always earned column inches. Oh and of course, there's the Queen's MAMMOTH wardrobe spanning her 60-year reign.

The exhibition kicks off at Kensington Palace on the 7th of July. So if you're in need of a royal fashion fix other than the Duchess of Cambridge's maternity wardrobe, get that date in your diaries now.
