The high-profile gathering at the German equestrian grounds brought together multiple generations of European royalty, including Princess Amalia of the Netherlands, Zara Tindall, and Infanta Elena.
The ensemble features a fluid halter-neck top crafted from silk crepe adorned with small white polka dots over a rich brown background, paired with a matching flared midi-length skirt.
Queen Mary originally debuted the Diane von Furstenberg two-piece set nearly eight years prior, in June 2018. To complete her look in Aachen, she accessorized the outfit with a brown crystal-embellished jewel belt by Dolce & Gabbana, a lightweight neoprene braided handbag by New York-based label Naghedi, and metallic bronze Christian Louboutin pumps that she first wore over fifteen years ago.
Royal Styles at the Aachen Equestrian Championships
Both Zara Tindall and Infanta Elena have actively competed in equestrian disciplines, while Princess Amalia of the Netherlands has maintained a lifelong involvement with horses since early childhood.
Princess Amalia made a distinct fashion statement at the event by wearing a green-and-white striped dress created by Spanish fashion house Nina Blanc. According to fashion coverage from ELLE, the Dutch princess completed her outfit with an Elie Saab handbag and suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi.
Meanwhile, Infanta Elena opted for her signature maximalist aesthetic. Her tournament attire featured a patterned fluid trouser paired with a blue top, layered underneath a crisp white blazer. She accented the look with matching accessories, a coordinated hat, and a prominent floral maxi brooch affixed to her lapel.
The Enduring Legacy of Cinematic Fashion
The original brown-and-white sleeveless dress from Pretty Woman, featuring a cinched waist and structured belt, has inspired numerous iterations across both luxury houses and fast-fashion retailers over the past three decades.
