Crown to Couture

Fashion at its most regal OR how on earth did they walk in that? This unmissable exhibition not only charts historic fashion but contains some iconic items worn by recent celebrities against the splendid backdrop of a royal palace. From the elegance and glamour of the Georgian period when how you looked mattered - gold edged, stylish dresses gave status and importance to the wearer. Today, modern red carpet outfits of world superstars like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish and LIzzo surprise and delight with a mix of "out-there" individual styles and traditional floaty dresses that hark back to Grace Kelly in the 1950s. There are over 200 items to appreciate and enjoy. The exhibition begins on 05 April 2023 and ends on 29 October 2023.
