The Duchess of Cambridge Wore the Most Festive Tartan Face Mask From Designer Emilia Wickstead
The Duchess of Cambridge has certainly pulled out all of her most festive outfits for her and Prince William’s three-day Royal Train tour of the UK, and that includes festive face masks. The tour is set to cover 1,250 miles over three days to thank individuals and communities for their work during the coronavirus pandemic.

Love Princess Diana’s ’90s Style? Here’s How to Recreate the Royal’s Most Rebellious Outfits
When flipping through the coolest photos of Princess Diana, there’s always one thing that runs through my mind — imagine if a royal were to wear bike shorts today? The scandal! Even more than her inimitable fashion sense was her rebellious spirit, which is why I am more than okay with Diana’s ’90s style shaping our wardrobes once again. Around the time of Diana’s divorce from Prince Charles between 1991 and 1996, the Princess of Wales began wearing very short and slinky dresses to public engagements. When off-duty, she would wear surprisingly casual — and American — pieces like cowboy boots, baseball caps, and bike shorts. The “revenge dress” was perhaps the princess’s most iconic fashion moment, when she turned up to a 1994 Serpentine summer party...

Knit Princess Diana’s Iconic Black Sheep Jumper For Free With the Original Vintage Pattern
I always knew Princess Diana was cool, but seeing photos of her wearing that Warm & Wonderful black sheep jumper in 1979 made me realise just how much of a rebel she really was.
