For the celebratory concert, the Princess rewore her elegant cream Self-Portrait Tailored Bouclé and Chiffon Midi Dress, first debuted at a Hold Still reception in 2021 and later worn at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 'Party at the Palace' concert in 2022. 

She accessorized her ensemble with jewelry from Susan Caplan, reintroducing the 1980s Vintage 5-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace, previously worn earlier this year, and pairing it with a striking new pair of Vintage Renaissance Revival Pearl Earrings (£75).
