Kensington Palace Couture Red Carpet

On April 5th the world of Georgian court and the red carpet glamour will colide at the Kensignton Palace largest exhibition to date, "Crown to Couture". Joseph Bennet who is known to stage Alexander McQueen's famous catwalks was tapped by the palace to run exhibit filled with more than 200 objects of contemporary couture worn by Lady Gaga to the 2020 MTV Awards, Thom Browne two-piece ensemble worn by Lizzo, and some of the historic fashion attires worn by the Royal Court worn in the eighteen's century.

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with a wide variety of well-known fashion houses and emerging designers to showcase some of the most iconic red carpet looks of recent years and celebrate the wonderful diversity and creativity we see there today. By bringing these familiar looks into the Palace and placing them in conversation with spectacular 18th century court dress, we hope to provide a new perspective on these historic spaces and the seemingly distant customs of the Georgian Court and allow visitors to experience the Palace as it was meant to be experienced: filled to the brim with the most fashionable and influential names of the day” said Claudia Acott Williams, curator at Historic Royal Palaces.
