Princess Alexandra of Hanover took style notes from her late grandmother Grace Kelly.
Alexandra, 27, was as good as gold in a beaded vintage Givenchy dress once worn by Kelly, who died at age 52 in 1982.
In the photo shared via Instagram, Alexandra stunned in the dress featuring thick straps, a scoop neck, a fitted bodice and a small train. The royal, who is the daughter of Princess Caroline, accessorized with a black clutch, a delicate necklace and of course, her stunning yellow diamond trilogy engagement ring from her longtime love Ben-Sylvester Strautmann.
Alexandra let the look speak for itself and rocked soft glam including black eyeliner, mascara, rosy cheeks and pink, lined lips. Her strawberry blonde hair was parted down the middle and worn down and in a blowout.
“Yellow mood in archival givenchy 🌝,” Alexandra captioned the post. Her fans praised the vintage style moment in the comments section.
“This is real diva behavior!! I love to see it 💛💛💛💛,” one wrote, while another added, “Gorgeous and elegant young lady as your Mom and Grandma.” A third added, “Wow, you just look like your grandmother in the yellow dress.”
Kelly first wore the gown in 1962 while celebrating the wedding of Don Juan Carlos de Borbon, the Prince of Spain, and Princess Sofia of Greece, in Athens. For the evening, she styled the dress with a diamond necklace and earrings, white gloves, a small purse and a sash across her chest. She made the look even more elegant with soft makeup including long lashes, as well as a sleek bun.
Kelly attended the wedding with her husband, Rainier III of Monaco, who died at age 81 in 2005.
Kelly and Rainer III tied the knot in April 1956. The following year, she gave birth to Caroline, now 69. In 1958, they again expanded their family when they welcomed Prince Albert II, now 68, and later Princess Stéphanie, now 61.
