Georgian glamour meets modern red carpet royalty in opulent new Kensington Palace exhibition 2-7-23

The unbridled opulence of the Georgian era, which has been thrust into public consciousness thanks to Netflix hit series Bridgerton, will meet the high glamour of the modern red carpet in a new exhibition poised to open at Kensington Palace in April. ‘Crown to Couture’ will draw parallels between the contemporary, regal-inspired creations worn by modern style mavens including Lizzo and Lady Gaga, and the historic costumes that once adorned members of the 18th century royal court. ‘Crown to Couture’ opens to the public on 5 April 2023 and is included in palace admission. Historic Royal Palaces are especially grateful to their sponsors, Garrard and the Blavatnik Family Foundation, for their generous donations which have enabled the exhibition to take place.
