Princess Catharina-Amalia Revives Three-Generation Gown for Amsterdam 750th Concert

The archival Theresia Vreugdenhil design signaled dynastic continuity alongside a sustainability message.

Overview

  • On October 27, the 21-year-old heir wore an apple-green Theresia Vreugdenhil gown from the royal archive to a concert marking Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary at Museumplein.
  • The same design was first worn by then-Queen Beatrix during a 1981 state visit to Belgium and was later re-worn in a shortened length by Queen Máxima at Amsterdam’s 2014 Liberation concert.
  • Catharina-Amalia updated the look with a black belt, black Aquazzura pumps, a satin Gianvito Rossi clutch, drop earrings, and a Max Mara coat.
  • Coverage framed the appearance as a deliberate nod to heritage and prudent reuse, dovetailing with the Princess’s growing public role and frequent borrowing from Queen Máxima’s wardrobe.
  • Dutch media described the anniversary finale as a triumph with a standing ovation, while fashion outlets and bloggers highlighted the dress’s provenance and drew parallels with trends among Europe’s young royals.
