The Spencer twins were a vision of class and elegance as they emulated the late Princess Diana’s bold and sophisticated style. Lady Amelia and her twin Lady Eliza Spencer sparked a royal frenzy when they stepped out at the Fashion Awards on earlier this month after stealing the show at another London awards ceremony earlier this year.
The 32-year-olds looked visionary in black dresses as they graced the red carpet with their understated glamour and timeless silhouettes. Sparking a royal frenzy many pointed out that their look bared a striking resemblance to their late Aunty – the mother the Prince of Wales and younger brother Prince Harry.
Princess Diana infamously wore the “revenge dress” on the very evening that the then-Prince Charles made his notorious adultery admission on television. It was designed by Christina Stambolian and became a sought-after piece of Princess Diana’s history.
After her death, back in 1997, it was reported that due to popular demand, it sold at auction for £39,098. Following their show-stopping display it is unclear if the sisters attempted to pay homage to Diana or if it was just a coincidence on the evening after inheriting her taste in fashion.
However, it has been noted that their pairing of glittering jewels resembled Princess Diana’s unique ensemble for the Vanity Fair event at the Serpentine over three decades ago. If you would like to recreate Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza’s look this festive season then take a look at some of the sizzling styles Express.co.uk has found.
Amelia was styled by Sian Gabari, in an off-the-shoulder gown with detailed beading along the trim of the neckline which was created by Pamella Roland from the Resort 2025 collection.
We have found a stunning alternative for a fraction of the price at Club London. The Elisabetta’s Black Velvet Plunge-Neck Fishtail Maxi Dress strikes a similar resemblance to Amelia’s.
You can buy it here now for just £80 – and it comes in a variety of sizes from a UK 4 to 20, but it is selling fast.
Royal fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to pen their thoughts over their gorgeous gowns. One user wrote: WOW! These ladies sure know how to ‘knock it out of the park’!!”
“Both dresses are perfection! I can’t even pick one over the other. Just like the sisters. They are both so pretty,” shared a second person.
A third chimed in and added, “After Catherine Princess Of Wales, IMO these 2 are right up there at the top. Always impeccably put together beautiful.”
Meanwhile, her twin sister Eliza looked like an enchanting princess as she donned a black gown by Gaurav Gupta.
This featured satin draped sleeves which boasted an intricate swirled detailing that overlapped to the bodice.
Little black dresses are perfect for winter events as they are versatile and can be dressed up or down by styling them with dazzling accessories.
