Greetings! This August, the Wales family is taking a break, enjoying a leisurely summer highlighted by the cinematic success of Barbie, a film that has captivated audiences globally.
The film’s influence is unmistakable, as seen in the widespread embrace of pink. Below, Margot Robbie dazzles at the London premiere.
The Princess of Wales has also been spotted in what many are calling “Barbie Pink,” notably during her visit to the Foundling Museum in May.
More insights can be found in British Vogue’s May feature on her museum outing.
Indeed, the Princess of Wales seems to have embraced the vibrant candy-pink trend this summer. She appeared at an event at London’s Foundling Museum clad in a pastel-pink suit by Alexander McQueen, complemented by a matching blouse and white pumps, a recent favorite of hers. Her ensemble was completed with a striking white belt adorned with a pearl buckle, echoing the playful style of the iconic Mattel doll.
Curiosity about the Princess’s penchant for pink prompted a review of our archives, revealing its periodic appearance in her wardrobe, though it’s not her most frequently worn color. Here’s a retrospective of some notable pink outfits.
From vibrant pinks to softer hues, the Princess has showcased a spectrum of pink. On the left, the pleated Alexander McQueen outfit worn for Trooping the Colour in 2017, and on the right, various dresses and coats in shades of pink worn over the years.
Exploring the subtler side, we see the Princess in powder pink, from the Beulah London “Ahana Crepe Midi Dress” to the Alexander McQueen “Wool Cashmere Peplum Dress,” each piece reflecting her elegant style.
Rich berry tones also make an appearance, with the “Light Sleeper” dress by the Vampire’s Wife being a standout piece, showcasing a metallic pink hue and flutter sleeves.
It’s been delightful revisiting these colorful ensembles, uncovering forgotten gems like the Lela Rose and RIXO dresses. Stay tuned for an upcoming feature on the most divisive looks worn by the Princess, and feel free to share your thoughts on standout or controversial outfits.
