Lady Kitty Spencer Shines in Purple at Cannes 2025: A Night of Glamour and Sisterly Elegance
The 2025 Cannes Film Festival became a stage for royal-inspired fashion as Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of the late Princess Diana, made her debut with show-stopping looks. Alongside her twin sisters, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, Kitty turned heads with a blend of high glamour and sentimental style—proving the Spencers are a force on the red carpet.
Kitty’s Dual Cannes Moments: Sequins and Sentiment
Kitty’s first appearance was at the La Venue De L’avenir premiere, where she wore a purple sequined Dolce & Gabbana gown with a daring keyhole cutout, paired with cascading diamond jewelry from Sartoro Genève 25. The dress, a nod to her love for bold hues, shimmered under the flashbulbs, with Kitty later sharing behind-the-scenes glam prep on Instagram: “Cannes dreams come true ✨ #DolceGabbana.
For the amfAR gala, she switched to a white crochet gown eerily reminiscent of her 2021 wedding dress by the same designer. The floor-length piece featured ruffled sleeves and delicate lace-like detailing, sparking comparisons to her mother Victoria Lockwood’s 1989 bridal look. Domenico Dolce noted Kitty’s style blends “timeless allure” with her “passion for flowers and English heritage.
The Spencer Sisters’ Coordinated Elegance
While Kitty embraced drama, her 32-year-old twin sisters Amelia and Eliza opted for minimalist sophistication in matching Vera Wang X Pronovias gowns—Amelia in white, Eliza in black—with peplum waists and flowing trains . The twins accessorized with diamond chokers and posted on Instagram: “For us, this isn’t just fashion—it’s legacy and bold femininity.
Their older sister’s purple sparkle contrasted beautifully, creating a trio of looks that celebrated individuality and unity. As Kitty told Tatler, “When the twins burst through the door, my daughter Athena thinks she’s got triplet aunts!.
Social Media Frenzy and Festival Highlights
The Spencers dominated Cannes chatter, with Twitter users dubbing them “The Diana Effect 2.0” for their regal poise. A fan-edit video comparing Kitty’s purple gown to Princess Diana’s 1985 velvet dress went viral (watch here).
Meanwhile, Cannes’ new “decency” dress code—banning sheer outfits—was tested by stars like Heidi Klum, but the Spencers adhered to elegance. As Vanity Fair noted, their looks “balanced tradition with modernity.
Legacy in Motion
The sisters’ appearance wasn’t just about fashion. Kitty’s interview with Tatler highlighted their support for Prince William’s work with Centrepoint, a charity Diana championed: “She put the name out there… I’m proud of William’s dedication.
With Cannes wrapping on May 24, the Spencers left an indelible mark—proving that royal style, sisterhood, and substance still reign supreme.
