Color-Coordinated Accessories

Pulling your outfit together with coordinated accessories is one of the oldest, and most effective, tricks in the book. Here, the princess matched her shoes, purse, and sunglasses to her white skirt.Georges De Keerle/Getty Images

A Pastel Jumpsuit

Princess Diana had a soft spot for sugar-rush palettes of baby pink, milky blue, and creamy yellow (to name a few), which she employed well beyond Easter. Here, she wore a breezy jumpsuit in the latter color while on summer holiday in Spain.Georges De Keerle/Getty Images
