The elegant number was first worn by the royal in June 2022 when she attended Ladies Day at Royal Ascot along with her daughter, Zara Tindall, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. On the second day of her state visit to South Africa, Anne paired the dress with white pumps with a block heel and carried what appeared to be a quilted Chanel handbag with a gold chain strap.

The mother-of-two, who is travelling without husband Sir Timothy Laurence due to his ligament injury, accessorised her outfit with a gold fringed scarf. She completed her stylish ensemble with two strings of pearls and dainty earrings, and added a pair of sporty, mirrored sunglasses, which she has worn since 2012.
