15 times royals rocked monochromatic fashion: from Queen Elizabeth’s pink ensemble and Meghan Markle’s matching looks with Prince Harry, to Kate Middleton and Princess Diana’s chic travel outfits
- Monochromatic fashion certainly doesn’t have to be boring, especially when it’s done using a bright colour palette – like when Queen Letizia of Spain showed up in fuchsia pink to a fundraising event
- Princess Diana shimmered in a beaded blue dress with a matching clutch at Royal Albert Hall in 1997, while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the Mountbatten Music Festival in head-to-toe red
Royals around the world are often photographed in outfits made up of a single colour. Queen Elizabeth was especially known for her plethora of bright, monochromatic outfits, while Meghan Markle, Queen Letizia of Spain and Princess Diana have also sported chic and timeless looks of the same colour palette.
Here, we take a look at the best ways royals have rocked one-colour looks.
1. Queen Elizabeth at the Braemar Highland Gathering, 1969
Queen Elizabeth wore a pale blue coat dress with a matching hat to the Braemar Highland Gathering in 1969.
The queen also appeared to wear a coordinating dress underneath her tweed coat, both of which hit her just below the knee. She paired the outfit with accessories in the same shade: a round hat, gloves and a brooch with a blue jewel at the centre.
2. Queen Elizabeth at the Braemar Highland Gathering again in 1975
For the same event in 1975, the monarch donned a full look in a richer shade of blue.
The queen picked a pleated midi skirt and jacket, which included a bow at the collar, in dark teal for the event. She wore the set with a fur-trimmed hat, a navy blue bag and gloves, and another blue brooch on her jacket.
