Dress Codes Exhibition at Kensington Palace

Dress Codes: Decoding the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection at Kensington Palace

Step into royal history and cutting-edge style all at once! Dress Codes, the dazzling new exhibition at Kensington Palace, lifts the curtain on royal fashion like you’ve never seen before.

From gowns worn by a young Queen Elizabeth II and the unforgettable looks of Princess Diana, to avant-garde creations by Dame Vivienne Westwood and timeless pieces belonging to Queen Victoria, this exhibition spans centuries of fashion, tradition, and bold reinvention.

Alongside these icons, you’ll uncover hidden gems rarely seen by the public, such as a rare Japanese court suit from the early 20th century and a 1920s Reville court dress making its grand debut. In true Kensington spirit, the exhibition also looks to the future, with young creatives aged 14–17 reimagining royal dress codes, proving that style, like community, is always evolving.

Whether you’re passionate about history, inspired by couture, or simply seeking a day out steeped in elegance, Dress Codes is a must-see.

Living in Kensington means having treasures like this right on your doorstep. At tlc Estate Agents, we’re proud to help people unlock this lifestyle, where world-class culture and timeless style are part of everyday life.
