If you asked the average royal watcher to describe Catherine, Princess of Wales' fashion sense, chances are you would probably hear responses like "traditional," "elegant," "modest," and maybe even "pastel." Throughout the years, the star of the British royal family has been known to dress in conservative chic, often in colors that we associate with Easter Sunday. However, Princess Catherine broke the mold one evening in 2020 when she turned up at a royal engagement wearing an electric, serpentine green dress.
Touring Guinness Storehouse's Gravity Bar in Dublin on Day One of a cross-Ireland visit, the Princess of Wales wowed in this unexpected number from fashion brand The Vampire's Wife. Titled "The Falconetti," this dress was the perfect choice for a romp around Dublin as its shimmering emerald color perfectly captured the spirit of the green city. Fans were so impressed by the princess' choice of a rock-and-roll-inspired piece that British Vogue heralded this day as a "major moment in royal dressing."
However, despite the mountains of praise, the Princess of Wales was not the first member of the British royal family to wear a gown from The Vampire's Wife. Just one year before, Princess Beatrice was seen wearing a nearly identical Falconetti gown to a book launch afterparty in London. The near-identical gowns differed only in that Princess Beatrice's version boasted a bit more pomp and circumstance, with her earlier prototype of the gown having extra ruffles on its translucent sleeves.
