The Princess of Wales had a fashion win in the blush pink Elie Saab gown she donned to attend the royal wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif on Thursday.
The demure dress, which hails from the Lebanese fashion designer’s Autumn/Winter 2017 ready-to-wear collection was given something of a makeover by Princess Kate. The royal style icon regularly customises her looks, changing hemlines or adding details to update them for certain occasions.
The garment she wore which first sashayed down the runway six years ago, originally featured a thin gold belt and sheer leg-baring panels down the side and nape of the neck. Kate opted to remove the belt and also did away with the transparency of the dress by customising it with an underskirt and top which made the dress more modest and appropriate for the formal occasion.

Around 140 guests were in attendance at the nuptials, including members of the Royal Hashemite family, foreign royals and heads of state.
While Princess Kate kept things traditional, Rajwa Al Saif went for a surprisingly modern look in her own Elie Saab gown.

An elegant, long train complete with delicate embellishments was attached to the lower back, creating a true contemporary princess silhouette.
