The look is particularly significant because it was from the future Queen Mother's White Wardrobe. The collection was designed by Norman Hartnell to mark the death of her mother, the Countess of Strathmore. Their state visit was postponed following her passing and the fashion designer redesigned the wardrobe, which was previously filled with more colourful looks. The white outfits were thought to be a better choice for mourning and for France in the summer as opposed to black.

Princess Margaret was breathtaking in a Norman Hartnell wedding gown when she married Antony Armstrong-Jones in a beautiful ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6, 1960.
Margaret's wedding dress was crafted out of white organza and featured a fitted waist, soft long sleeves and a dramatic full skirt, which featured over 30 metres of fabric!
The embellishment on the dress was reportedly kept to a minimum to showcase Margaret's figure and the silhouette of the wedding gown.
The Queen's younger sister accessorized with Poltimore tiara, which was originally made by Garrard in 1870 for Lady Poltimore, hence the name.

The young royal wore a dazzling embellished wedding dress when she married Prince Philip on Nov. 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey in London.
The beautiful bride was married two years after World War II ended and she had to pay for her dress with clothing coupons because rationing was still in effect.
Royals fans attempted to send her their ration coupons to ensure she received an exquisite dress, but they were returned because it was not permitted to transfer ration coupons!
You'd never know the story behind the incredible finished dress. Norman's intention was to create "the most beautiful dress [he] had so far made" for the future Queen, and he delivered.
The 21-year-old bride's wedding gown was crafted out of ivory silk and richly decorated with crystal diamantés and over 10,000 seed pearls in the shape of flowers, including roses and jasmine, along with ears of wheat.
She accessorized with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara.
