I’m a royal fashion expert – here’s my guide to dressing like a royal this summer | Royal | News

Princess Diana was photographed wearing yellow dungarees at a polo match in July 1981, just weeks before her glittering wedding to then-Prince Charles. The denim all-in-one was considered a casual and youthful style, contrasting with the more formal attire she would later adopt. This style is popular today, as they are versatile and flattering. The soft, creamy shade of yellow acts as a neutral, making it easy to pair with a wide range of colours and styles. It’s associated with warmth, sunshine, and happiness, bringing a sense of optimism to outfits.

Denim:
In this effortlessly chic look, Meghan Markle stepped out in a fit-and-flare denim dress — a silhouette that nods to mid-century glamour while embracing one of 2025’s most quietly resurgent trends: modern Western style. The belted waist, structured shoulders, and full skirt strike a perfect balance between relaxed and refined, ideal for a daytime summer outing. She styled the look with nude stilettos, oversized sunglasses, and a woven clutch, keeping the accessories neutral and polished. While denim dresses are a timeless wardrobe staple, they’ve had a notable revival this season, cropping up across the high street thanks to the country and western fashion wavesweeping through pop culture. Most recently, Meghan wore a Carolina Herrera denim dress to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour with Prince Harry — a stylish nod to the tour’s Americana aesthetic. Likewise, Princess Eugenie was seen in a similarly structured denim design during an official engagement in May.

Zara Tindall showcased her signature fuss-free style at a recent event, pairing straight-leg denim jeans with white trainers for a look that was both practical and effortlessly chic. A firm believer in functional fashion, Zara often opts for pieces that allow ease of movement without sacrificing style — and these classic-cut jeans, one of the most popular denim trends this season, are a perfect example. Relaxed, versatile, and flattering, they reflect her down-to-earth approach to dressing, ideal for her active lifestyle.
