This Monaco Royal’s Red Dior Look Has Its Roots In Fashion Legend

, who was frequently photographed in variations on the house tweed, and more recently, the woman who has succeeded her in the role – Kate chose a cobalt-blue Chanel blazer from 1995 for a recent royal engagement.

Meanwhile Caroline’s daughter-in-law, Beatrice Borromeo, is particularly fond of another fashion classic: Dior’s legendary Bar jacket. The model and former journalist, who married Pierre Casiraghi in 2015, wore a red version , with a matching column skirt, hat and heels to join her family in waving to the crowds from the Palace balcony.SC Pool - Corbis/Getty Images

The Bar Jacket was fundamental to Christian Dior’s New Look, which had a seismic impact when it was first unveiled in 1947, and remains a hero piece 75 years later. With its feminine, gently rounded silhouette, the jacket celebrated the female form, and delivered a potent injection of glamour to a fashion scene mired in the austerity of the post-war years. Among the Bar jacket’s most high-profile fans? Grace Kelly, later Princess Grace of Monaco, and Borromeo’s grandmother-in-law.

Beatrice is far from the only style-conscious royal to turn to Dior for high-profile occasions. The Duchess of Sussex chose Dior Haute Couture when she returned to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year, teaming a dove-grey trench coat and skirt with matching gloves and heels. It was Meghan’s first public appearance with the royal family for two years, so the stakes were high, and she added a statement “cartwheel” hat that gave her otherwise muted look a hint of drama.
