They said that good things come in pairs, which certainly rings true when it comes to the sartorial agendas of twin sisters Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer.
The aristocratic twins, who are the nieces of Princess Diana, were basically destined for style greatness with an aunt who is still one of the most powerful influencers in fashion history, even after her death almost 30 years ago.
The two, who are the daughters of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, are fashion icons in their own right, but when appearing together, Eliza and Amelia often coordinate their outfits, presenting a harmonious ‘same but different’ looks that demonstrate two different ways to wear a certain style – lucky us. They choose pieces that reflect their individual tastes, whilst maintaining a cohesive look.
Calculated coordination is a key part of their approach, proven by their style back catalogue. “There’s nothing we can’t get through as long as we have each other… we are each other’s other halves,” Amelia previously told Hello! Fashion. “We have the exact same taste in clothing, and will arrive at a dinner or meet up in the day dressed to match. When choosing outfits for an event, we’ve found the only way to do this fairly is to take it in turns who gets to choose first.”
Here are some of their best fashion moments of all time:
