What the Coolest Royals and London It Girls Wore to the Party of the Summer
This week is a busy time on the socialite calendar. There's the Royal Ascot, and then last night, one of the biggest society parties of the summer took place. This year's V&A summer party doubled as a presentation of Dior's latest dresses, as this year, one of the leading exhibitions at the museum is Dior: Designer of Dreams. The event was attended by London It girls and royals like Lady Amelia Windsor, Lady Gabriella Windsor and Cressida Bonas.
This is one event where people really have fun with the dress code. Tanya Burr wore a pleated gold Dior minidress, Emilia Wickstead wore a neon-green sleeved midi dress, and Kate Fleetwood went for the classic Dior "New Look" with a full black skirt with a white short-sleeved shirt with an exaggerated bow. Keep scrolling to see what the London set wore for the party of the summer.
