If there is one accessory that has become a hallmark of Princess Anne, it is undoubtedly her faithful Adidas sunglasses.
Whether at sporting events, official functions or even in her leisure moments, the princess has worn these glasses for almost two decades, making them an inseparable piece of her style.
Princess Anne’s Sunglasses
During her recent visit to South Africa on January 21, 2025, the princess was once again spotted wearing her inseparable pair of glasses, a model she has been wearing since at least 2008.
Although she has never confirmed exactly what the reference is, all indications are that it is a special edition of the Adidas Women’s Sp0016 Team GB model.
With their characteristic white frame design and amber lenses, these glasses strike a balance between a retro feel and a futuristic touch, making them a timeless choice.
Over the years, Princess Anne has proven that these glasses are not just for summer or sunny days.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she was seen wearing them while supporting her daughter, Zara Tindall, in the dressage competition.
Four years later, at the London 2012 Games, she wore them again on several occasions, cementing them as her favorite accessory.
But her love for these glasses is not limited to the sporting arena.
In 2013, the princess surprised by combining them with an elegant faux fur hat, a silk scarf and several decorative brooches at the Cheltenham Festival.
She also wore them to the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show, where she paired them with a sophisticated cream-toned coat and gold and pearl jewelry that highlighted the warmth of the amber lenses.
Even at the iconic Royal Ascot, an event known for its impeccable etiquette and extravagant hats, the princess has incorporated her Adidas glasses into her look on more than one occasion.
Undoubtedly, Princess Anne has always found a way to make her favorite accessory fit perfectly with her outfit.
