This is particularly the case of the daughter-in-law of Carolina of Monaco, Beatrice Borromeewho is particularly fond of a great classic: the legendary jacket Bar of Dior. The model and former journalist, who married Pierre Casiraghi in 2015, a red version (no doubt a nod to the flag of Monaco given the nature of the occasion), with a matching column skirt, hat and heels to join her family and wave to the crowd from the balcony From the palace.
The Bar jacket worn by Beatrice Borromeo
Jacket Bar is a fundamental element of New look of Christian Dior, which had a seismic impact when it was first unveiled in 1947, and remains a showpiece 75 years later. With its feminine, slightly rounded silhouette, the jacket celebrated feminine forms and brought a powerful (and much needed) injection of glamor to a fashion scene mired in the austerity of the post-war years. Among the most prominent fans of the jacket Bar ? Grace Kelly.
Beatrice Borromee is far from the only style-conscious sovereign to turn to the house for special occasions. The Duchess of Sussex to choose from Dior high fashion when she returned to the UK for Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year, teaming a gray trench coat and skirt with matching gloves and heels. This was the first public appearance of Meghan Markle with the royal family for two years, so the stakes were high. She added a “cart wheel” hat that presented a touch of drama to her otherwise understated gaze. She may have read what Mr. Dior himself once said:Individuality will always be one of the conditions of true elegance.”
