It’s no surprise that the dress the Princess of Wales chose to wear for the glossy video in which she tells the world she has finished her chemotherapy treatment looks effortlessly carefree but is also imbued with subtle meaning.
After all, the Princess is one of the world’s most polished fashion communicators and has long honed a style strategy whereby she includes messages in her clothes, while also only wearing pieces that feel right for her.
In the video, she wears two different dresses, but the standout is the black-and-white embroidered “Castella” style by American label Veronica Beard. It was originally available to buy for £598 but could still be found at some retailers for £299 on Monday afternoon. By Tuesday morning, it appeared to have sold out.
The Princess accessorises the dress with green amethyst earrings by one of her favourite jewellers, Kiki McDonough, and a Daniella Draper necklace bearing her children’s initials.
