First Mathilde was wearing this jacket in Afrika, then Maria Theresa visiting The Netherlands, and last week Maxima was wearing it.

Default Royal ladies and their similar style

Many royal ladies seem to share the same "look" at times. Here are some examples:

Victoria and Mary both wearing gold jackets:

Aren´t Maxima and her mother Maria del Carmen wearing the same coat/skirt? It looks completely simular and if the ladies have a simular size Maxima could pass some of her clothes on to her mother (MdC wore a hat of Maxima on a previous occassion to).
I must say that it looks better on Maria del Carmen, who is a very elegant lady IMO.

That must have been one heck of a swap party!

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if the question has been answered already, but has it ever happened two royal ladies going to the same event, wearing similar clothes?

Because it is something that sooner or later happens to anyone, and I was just wondering whether they might forecast something like that and call each other just to avoid it happening.

Yes. Actually Princess Caroline of Monaco and Princess Clotilde of Savoia wore similar outfits to Prince Felipe & Princess Letizia's pre-wedding ball. I think both outfits were Chanel. I wonder if Clotilde originally wanted Caroline's dress, and what her reaction was when she found out it was taken, because I'm sure Caroline (being Karl Lagerfield's BFF) got first pick.

Thanks RubyPrincess168 for your answer.

Oh my God! How absolutely embarrasing! It is the one thing you are always hopping, it will never happen to you, and definitely not in such an event.

In my opinion, royal ladies have similar styles because they have to follow a certain dress code. I mean, they have to wear suits and/or dress formally in public. The elder generation of Royals, like the Queens, are all in suits and hats, which make them similar to one another

Mette-Marits green pregnancy-dress (worn in England 2005) reminds me a bit of this green dress of (then) Princess Sonja worn in 1969

But maybe it's just the colour

I saw this picture of Princess Letizia's skirt and it reminded me of Princess Mary's dress.

http://actualidad.terra.es/addon/img...c06f47a22g.jpg


Are they the same material or from the same designer or is it just a coincidence?

(I also found Christina Applegate and Rachel Griffiths have the same dress
