Princess Anne once again proved why she remains one of the most admired figures in the royal family as she stunned at the German state banquet hosted at the Guildhall in London on Thursday. It was held in honor of President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Budenbender. Wearing a glittering black gown beneath a black coat, the princess drew considerable praise for the intricate black-and-white thread pattern resembling tulips across her jacket. As the evening unfolded, admiration for her appearance quickly took hold online. It set the tone for yet another moment in which Anne’s distinctive elegance captured public attention. 

Reactions from watchers flooded social media. Fans couldn’t help but express deep appreciation for her style and work ethic. One user wrote, “The Princess Royal looks amazing and is so dignified and such a hard worker.” Another noted, “She looks stunning.” One more admirer added, “This is the dress that looks awesome on her, wish she had worn it to the state banquet.” A comment revealed that the user was “in awe” of “her timeless grace.” Another post on Instagram said, “Wonderful Princess Anne, we love you. A true Princess with heart.” Princess Anne accessorized her look with the Festoon tiara. It was her second tiara appearance within the same week after wearing the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara at the Windsor Castle state banquet the evening before. It was an effortless continuation of her well-established regal presence.

Beyond gowns and jewels, the Princess Royal has drawn attention for her quietly evolving beauty choices. This includes her shift away from muted royal color norms. Her preference for vivid, petal-toned lipsticks has been described as her breaking through the royal monotony. It was most talked about during her visit to Singapore’s National Orchid Garden. She wore a glossy raspberry shade and paired it with a yellow blazer. Her attire highlighted a refreshing modernity in her public presentation and demonstrated her willingness to depart from expectations without ever compromising her unmistakable style.

This public momentum regarding the princess royal’s admiration has coincided with a year of personal milestones. She recently celebrated her 75th birthday on August 15. Buckingham Palace also released a striking portrait of her by Getty photographer Chris Jackson. The image garnered widespread attention for showcasing Princess Anne’s new hairstyle. Her hair was in a sleek chignon after ditching the signature bouffant that she had worn for nearly five decades. It was one of the most striking visual updates of her royal career and fueled further discussion of her evolving public image.

Princess Anne’s resurgent fashion influences extend even further. It was all due to the cultural revival sparked by the Netflix show The Crown. The series introduced her style legacy to a new generation. Italian designer Lorenzo Serafin has been vocal about drawing inspiration from the royal family member. He revealed, “She has an effortless, nonchalant look which excites me. I was a fan long before The Crown.” His stance reinforced the growing view of Princess Anne as a fashion icon, one whose wardrobe, past and present, continues to resonate with many across decades. She has united tradition with modern admiration in a way only a few royals have achieved.
