Whether attending state banquets, participating in commemorative services, gracing red carpets, or making television appearances, the royal women have had an impressive year in fashion.

Join us as we revisit the style moments that have left a mark on this year.

The Princess of Wales

This year, the Princess of Wales has consistently showcased her fashion prowess, from dazzling state dinners to more casual daytime events.

Her wardrobe choices are increasingly reflecting a more regal and traditional style, befitting her future role as Queen.

Nevertheless, Kate isn’t afraid to take bold fashion steps. A prime example was her choice of a striking chartreuse trouser suit by Victoria Beckham, which she wore while presenting the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design at the British Fashion Council.

This confidence extended to her jewellery choices. Rather than relying on familiar favourites, Kate debuted Queen Victoria’s Oriental Circlet tiara – originally commissioned by Prince Albert – for the state banquet held in honour of the German president. 

Paired with a sequin caped gown by Jenny Packham, the historic headpiece made a striking and symbolic statement.

At a separate state banquet hosted for Donald and Melania Trump, she wore a couture Phillipa Lepley ensemble: a silk crepe gown layered beneath a hand-embroidered gold Chantilly lace coat. 

Finished with gold Aquazzura court shoes and the Lover’s Knot tiara, the look was widely hailed as one of her most accomplished to date.

Kate also continued her subtle tributes to Diana, Princess of Wales. At Trooping the Colour, she wore an aquamarine Catherine Walker coat dress with a coordinating Juliette Botterill hat, echoing an outfit Diana wore to the same event in the 1990s. 

Given that Catherine Walker was one of Diana’s go-to designers, the choice felt like a powerful homage.

Kate completed the look with Gianvito Rossi suede court shoes, Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain Pearl and Diamond earrings, and the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch.

The Duchess of Edinburgh 

The Duchess of Edinburgh embraced quiet luxury this year, favouring knitted dresses, refined florals and sharp tailoring. Her wardrobe felt modern, polished and seasonally considered.

A key favourite remains Erdem, and during her visit to Canada she wore two designs from the label, each featuring figure-skimming silhouettes and ruched detailing.

While one made a statement in vibrant red and pink hues, the other offered a more understated appeal highlighting Sophie’s versatility.

Her approachable sense of style was evident at an afternoon tea in Windsor, where she chose a cornflower blue broderie dress from Aspiga, which sold out soon after her appearance.

With its fit-and-flare silhouette and breathable fabrication, the look struck a considered balance between relaxed and refined. 

She completed the ensemble with her well-loved Penelope Chilvers espadrille wedges – worn for the thirteenth time – alongside delicate jewellery from Monica Vinader and Asprey.

For more formal occasions, Sophie turned to her trusted designers. At Trooping the Colour, she wore the emerald green Francine Dress by Beulah, a familiar silhouette featuring puff sleeves and a midi length. 

The look was expertly finished with a Jane Taylor London hat and her signature Sophie Habsburg clutch.

She also embraced autumn’s defining shade, burgundy, choosing a rich Alaïa coat for the Together at Christmas carol service – a nod to seasonal dressing with a contemporary edge.

The Duchess of Sussex 

Meghan Markle delivered a masterclass in festive style while promoting her As Ever Christmas special and accompanying collection – from laid-back denim and cosy pyjamas to elevated eveningwear.

A standout moment came courtesy of a satin gown by Galvan – a design that may have looked familiar since Meghan first wore it for Variety’s October 2022 issue.

Crafted from lustrous bias-cut satin, the gown featured a sleek asymmetric halterneck, offering a modern update on a timeless evening silhouette.

Her penchant for satin continued throughout the special.

Meghan wore a khaki co-ord from New York-based label Argent, combining a long-sleeved top with a matching bias-cut midi skirt for understated glamour.

Elsewhere, she opted for a burgundy slip dress by Heidi Merrick. 

With its plunging V-neckline and delicate tie-shoulder detailing, the design delivered a refined take on classic eveningwear.

Naturally, Meghan completed each look with lashings of jewellery, including Princess Diana’s Cartier watch and her iconic Love bracelet.

Zara Tindall

Zara Tindall continued to define her signature blend of equestrian polish and modern glamour, favouring familiar designers for both race days and evening events.

At Cheltenham Festival, she leaned into Fairfax & Favor’s country aesthetic, while Rebecca Vallance and Laura Green provided elegant looks elsewhere. 

Zara was a standout at Royal Ascot, making an impression across three consecutive days. Her looks included a blue lace dress by Rebecca Vallance, a floral design from Anna Mason, and a monochrome ensemble by Laura Green. 

The latter proved particularly memorable. Crafted in ivory, it featured a classic collar and flattering fit-and-flare silhouette with a contrasting navy trim. 

Zara styled it impeccably with a Mulberry handbag and Laurence Coste’s Cosima earrings.

Known for her preference for midi styles, Zara surprised by switching things up with a playful mini dress – worn to both a designer-hosted cocktail party and the Tusk Conservation Awards on the same evening. 

The Narcissa black mini dress by Rebecca Vallance featured statement puff sleeves, crystal-embellished buttons and a voluminous skirt, perfectly capturing Zara’s fun-loving personality.

For the Princess of Wales’ carol service, she elevated her eveningwear further with a sumptuous velvet coat by Alice + Olivia, a label favoured by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. 

The mid-length design, complete with contrasting satin lapels and a single-button fastening, created a regal silhouette befitting the festive occasion.

Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice’s style this year was defined by classic prints and modern tailoring, worn across a busy calendar of events in London and internationally.

A longtime supporter of Beulah, Beatrice looked particularly striking at Royal Ascot in a pink gingham co-ord from the brand’s collaboration with VCH and The FairGround founder Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey. 

The tweed ensemble, comprising a puff-sleeve peplum top and coordinating midi skirt, felt both classic and contemporary.

At the 2025 Matrix Awards in New York, Beatrice demonstrated her commitment to sustainable fashion by rewearing her Rebecca Vallance Eliana dress, debuted at the designer’s Christmas collection launch the previous October. 

With its dramatic puff sleeves, flattering silhouette and feminine bow detailing, the look served as a refined take on the little black dress.

She also embraced a pared-back aesthetic at the BGC Annual Charity Day in Canary Wharf, opting for a timeless black shirt dress by Ralph Lauren.

From the brand’s Lauren diffusion line, the knee-length design featured rolled-up sleeves and a button-down front, offering effortless sophistication. 

She completed the look with a pair of much-loved Zara heels – a trusted staple she has worn since 2016.

Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie has quietly refined her personal style, blending high street pieces with designer labels to create a confident, streamlined aesthetic. 

The clashing colours and mismatched accessories of earlier years have been replaced with considered choices.

She ended Royal Ascot on a high in a figure-skimming red Whistles dress, styled with an Emily London pillbox hat and nude Aquazzura Bow Tie heels. It was one of several recent successes.

At the Chelsea Flower Show, Eugenie chose a Rebecca Vallance halterneck dress with blue and white blooms. With its cinched waist and A-line skirt, the look had a distinctly retro charm, complemented by kitten heels.

On holiday in Portugal with Robbie and Ayda Williams, she revealed a more relaxed side in a khaki Michael Kors dress, featuring a smocked bodice and tiered georgette skirt. Oversized sunglasses and flat sandals completed the off-duty look.

She also embraced summer dressing in a white linen Self-Portrait peplum dress with intricate laser-cut detailing, accessorising with an orange Chanel top-handle bag and nude Staud mules.

Queen Camilla

Since becoming Queen, Camilla has come into her own sartorially, with a signature look that blends classic tailoring with luxurious finishing touches. 

Designer handbags, Chanel heels and statement Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery have become key elements of her wardrobe. 

For the Thanksgiving Service marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day at Westminster Abbey, Camilla chose a pristine white Anna Valentine coat dress, completed with a Philip Treacy hat and Eliot Zed shoes. 

Black blanket stitching added a graphic edge to the otherwise classic design, giving the look a contemporary feel.

She also returned to trusted favourites. During a visit to HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, Camilla wore a cobalt blue Fiona Clare dress featuring softly puffed shoulders, embroidered bib detailing and a signature front zip.

On her tour of Canada, the Queen opted for a pastel pink Anna Valentine coat dress – first worn to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding – again pairing it with her favoured Chanel heels, reinforcing her preference for timeless pieces.
