As the holiday season approaches, I’ve been scrutinizing my wardrobe more closely than ever. While my collection of pussybow blouses once felt exciting, I find that I haven’t been wearing them as often lately. That’s when I came across Lady Amelia Spencer.
Princess Diana’s niece recently posted a striking black-and-white image of herself alongside her twin sister, Eliza Spencer, at the launch of Bird in Hand’s new wine in London. It was her blouse that caught my eye and made me reconsider my style choices.
Embracing bold fashion choices with a tie-neck twist from Amelia Spencer
Amelia made a bold statement in a navy damask-print shirt paired with matching wide-legged trousers from Borgo de Nor. For the event, she cleverly took a styling cue from her cousin, Princess Kate, by wearing her tie-neck blouse backward.
If you follow royal fashion closely, you might recall that in 2019, the Princess of Wales donned a purple Gucci blouse that initially looked like a typical pussybow top. However, she added her unique touch by wearing the button-front blouse reversed, allowing the tie-neck—which was meant to hang down her back—to take center stage.
Amelia’s blouse achieves a completely different vibe when styled with the bow in the back, especially when paired with a sleek high ponytail. This simple trick can completely change the look of an outfit, and it’s something I plan to try this holiday season. Eliza, on the other hand, opted for a surprisingly affordable black minidress from the British brand Lavish Alice, which is currently on a sale.
The stylish Spencer sisters, along with their older sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, are known for their eye-catching outfits, ranging from elegant blue evening gowns to dazzling black-and-white ensembles, as they make appearances in London’s social scene. Take a look below for inspiration from the latest styles of the Spencer sisters, featuring options to fit any holiday budget.
