Milan-Cortina, Italy – Princess Anne turned heads at the Winter Olympics Monday, not for a medal tally, but for her impeccable style. The 75-year-old royal paired wrap-around Adidas sunglasses with an insulated blue jacket while watching the mixed doubles curling match between Italy and Great Britain, proving that athletic-chic is always in season.
A Style Statement Amidst the Competition
Princess Anne’s choice of accessories sparked social media praise during a tense curling match at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
However, the day wasn’t entirely celebratory for the princess. Great Britain’s curling team suffered a 5–3 defeat against Italy’s Stefania Costantini and Amos Mosaner, who secured the bronze medal. Despite the outcome, Princess Anne’s presence and fashion choice were a clear win for style enthusiasts.
A Weekend of Sporting Appearances
This appearance follows a weekend of sporting engagements for the royal. On Saturday, she was visibly surprised by the enthusiastic applause she received when her image appeared on the big screen at Rome’s Olympic Stadium during a Six Nations rugby match between Italy and Scotland. The Adidas sunglasses, complete with ombré orange lenses and adjustable nose pads, have quickly become the talk of the town, praised for their versatility – recommended by some online reviewers for both running and “raves with strobe lights.”
What makes Princess Anne a style icon? Her ability to blend practicality with a timeless sense of regal cool, often opting for functional yet fashionable pieces.
The princess’s consistent presence at sporting events underscores her long-standing support for athletics, and her latest accessory choice has cemented her status as a surprisingly modern style icon.
