Princess Anne\u2019s red lipstick at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDiana Spencer: the queen of small, rebellious events<\/h2>\n
Lady Diana\u2019s iconic \u201980s hairstyle was anything but conventional. As Sam McKnight, who worked with her, explained, the princess wore her hair short, layered and voluminous. The slightly longer nape of the neck at the beginning was reminiscent of a mullet. <\/p>\n
In the late \u201980s and \u201990s, her hairstyle evolved into a more streamlined style. This short cut helped modernize the image of the princess. It also had a lasting influence on women\u2019s hair trends. <\/p>\n
In the same category as the famous \u201crevenge dress\u201d of 1994, the red manicure remains memorable. In 1995, Diana Spencer wore red nail varnish to a gala for cancer research. It was a daring choice, as only clear, pale pink or beige nail polish is permitted for members of the royal family. <\/p>\n
Diana excelled in whimsical make-up and offbeat beauty choices. That\u2019s why she remains a timeless icon. Her rebellious little manifestations have left their mark on the history of royal style. <\/p>\n
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle: two generations of daring beauty routines<\/h3>\n
For several months now, the Princess of Wales has been sporting a radiant complexion enhanced by a pronounced pink blush<\/strong>. While there\u2019s no law against this type of make-up, it\u2019s customary for princesses to opt for subtle shades. For Christmas 2025, Kate Middleton chose to stand out with this garish blush. <\/p>\nMeghan Markle nonetheless remains Duchess of Sussex, despite her high-profile separation from the royal family. In March 2020, the American married to Prince Harry sported whimsical make-up looks that stood in stark contrast to the required sobriety. The ultimate in madness? The combination of black smoky eye and red glossy lipstick. <\/p>\n
Princess Anne: fifty years of quirky style<\/h2>\n
At the age of 75<\/strong>, Princess Anne of the United Kingdom still allows herself some eccentricities. In March 2026, she wore red lipstick to the Cheltenham Festival. A choice that stands in stark contrast to protocol, which calls for a preference for discreet shades. <\/p>\nYears ago, in 1973, Anne wore a suit and paired it with long, wavy, almost rock hair. This style was the antithesis of the usual classic chignon. She paired this rebellious hairstyle with sky-blue eyeshadow. <\/p>\n
These bright colors were a far cry from the brown and beige hues usually favored by princesses. These whimsical make-ups made her a pioneer of offbeat style within the British royal family. Her audacity continues to inspire in 2026. <\/p>\n
These beauty choices show that behind the strict rules of protocol, princesses assert their personalities. Whimsical make-up looks become tools of expression. Each red varnish, each colored blush tells a story of assumed freedom. <\/p>\n
