Britain

Today, Ms. Cambridge is the winner of having two dresses featured. The first is from when she wowed early on in her public life with this black velvet gown. I’d love to see it again.

Margaret stuns in this black Dior circa 1952.

Which, in turn, reminds me a bit of this famous Winterhalter painting of Helena.

Royal Collection Trust

Monaco

Charlene wowed in this black Tom Ford dress earlier this year in Macau. This dress contains a lot of jersey which helps to make it so form fitting and figure flattering.

Charlotte shows us a simple black summer dress–every lady should have one, no?

Sweden

I’ve always been intrigued by the black gown Madeleine wore for the Elle Sweden feature. It seems like it has potential.

That is some GOOD hair.

Spain

Well, you KNOW I had to post this vision. Simply gorgeous.

Mary wore this simple black dress in 2017. Simplicity is key here.

Again, another simple silhouette here. Maxima wore this classic style to a movie premiere in 2011.

Hello! magazine

Mabel is STUNNING in all of the photos in this feature from The Gentlewoman in 2011, but this one is absolutely my favorite. You can click on the link below the image to read the article.
