Lady Amelia Windsor struck the perfect balance between summer and autumn with her latest outfit – move over summer milkmaid dresses, the velvet mini is the new dress in town.
Giving us a lesson in season transitional dressing, Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin posed in a hot pink frock for her "first hen party" near the coast in Dorset. While she went bare-legged for the occasion, Amelia added warmth with a Barbie-pink Brora sweater vest with a blue trim, cow-print ankle boots and a velvet scarf that matched her dress.

It seems as though the hen party had a theme since she posed with her sister Lady Marina Windsor in the same colourway. Marina wore a fitted fuschia midi skirt and a long-sleeved cardigan, which could have been the siblings' take on Mean Girls since her Instagram caption referred to the classic quote: "On Wednesdays we wear pink."

Stylish wedding guest

In August, she looked striking in a tangerine maxi dress with oversized pink and brown florals, a ruched neckline and a leg split. She teamed the rainbow frock with colour-clashing fuschia platform heels in a luxe velvet material, which complemented her Barbie-pink scarf.

The Gül Hürgel dress featured puff sleeves, a belted waist and a daisy print, and she paired it with white wedges and a cream fascinator.
Sustainable fashion

"Fast fashion is incredibly destructive to our planet. I try to shop from charity shops, vintage shops, sustainable brands, and often I borrow clothes off friends. That's a pretty good way of doing it.
"That's what my friends and I are trying to do a lot more. And just keeping things for longer and buying less stuff, less consumerism where possible," Marina told HELLO!.
She added that she even borrows vintage pieces from her mother Sylvana Tomaselli.
"I think the generation above us kept their clothes so well. I'm trying to do the same thing. My mother still has some clothing in perfect condition from her twenties. I'm very lucky as she very generously lends me things. She has a great sense of style."
