Princess Anne, known for her understated style and preference for sustainable fashion, has maintained a timeless wardrobe, standing out for reusing garments she has owned for decades.
Despite not topping the lists of best-dressed royals, her recent choice of accessories has attracted attention, suggesting a shift towards a more contemporary image.
During her visit to Paris for the Olympics, she not only supported the British athletes but also made headlines with the accessories she chose for her outfits, proving that classic fashion and modernity can coexist harmoniously.

Princess Anne, sister of King Charles III, has distinguished herself with her impeccable fashion sense, combining classic elegance with contemporary trends.
According to Vanity Fair, her stylistic approach is governed by three main principles: the reuse of garments from her youth, the incorporation of eye-catching accessories, and a preference for cuts that transcend time.
Recently, during her visit to the Olympics to support the British team, Princess Anne showcased a pair of sophisticated, polarized, streamlined Adidas glasses, an accessory she had previously worn on a trip to Sri Lanka in January.
The princess, whom British citizens consider a true royal, has shown her affinity for sports fashion, a trend that has captivated the younger generation.
As if that were not enough, in a show of support for the Great Britain team, she surprised both acquaintances and strangers by appearing in a fisherman’s hat, also known as a bucket hat, adorned with the initials “Team GB.”
The British newspaper Express has pointed out that Princess Anne has been photographed on multiple occasions wearing this type of hat, which shows her predilection for this accessory.
One of her most memorable moments with this type of hat was during the Montreal Olympics in 1976, where she opted for a discreet black and white outfit, complemented with pastel blue tones.
During the 2012 Olympics in London, the princess experimented with different styles of fisherman’s hats, including beige and red options, always showing her support for Great Britain with the words “Team GB” visibly stamped on the front.
Anne has also shown a preference for bucket hats not only during the Olympics but also at events such as the Gatcombe equestrian competitions.
At these, she was caught on camera sporting this accessory in 2015 and 2019, accompanied by her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, and her grandchildren.
Despite her style not being to everyone’s liking, with critics such as MasterChef’s William Sitwell calling it a reflection of modern Britain and suggesting it symbolizes our descent into a nation of dowdy, the princess has shown indifference to such opinions.
The daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II has demonstrated that comments about her person do not affect her.
As a member of the International Olympic Committee, Anne has had the opportunity to interact with athletes and coaches during her visit to Team GB House in Paris.
On this occasion, alongside Sir Timothy Laurence, she generated quite a buzz, receiving positive comments from fans approving of her appearance, despite Sitwell’s criticism.
