Carys Douglasdaughter of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglascouldn't have chosen a better dress to celebrate her 21st birthday, an important milestone if we think that in the United States they are considered the age of majority.
For the celebrations on the Saturday before Easter, the Spanish sovereign showed off a casual look, borrowing an item from her eldest daughter's wardrobe. But Leonor also did the same, drawing from her mother's wardrobe
No garments sewn to measure or created specifically for the occasion. The birthday girl drew directly from her mother's wardrobe, dusting off a sinuous pink slip dress, complete with lace inserts and floral embroidery on the décolleté and bottom, worn by the actress on the red carpet of the MTV Movie Awards in 1999. That is, 25 years ago.

A choice, that of Carys which, in addition to underlining how fashion returns cyclically, making a dress more than twenty years old perfectly current, is first and foremost an affectionate tribute given that among many items he chose the one worn by his mother in the past. To amplify everything, then, it is also the day on which it was worn, that is, on the occasion of his 21st birthday, an important milestone in any case, which marks the official entry into the adult world.

Carys Douglas and her mother Catherine are certainly not the first to exchange clothes. Many actresses and their daughters have done it, just as this is a well-established custom even among royals. Any examples? Queen Letizia and her daughter Leonor, but also the Spanish sovereign herself with her mother-in-law. And then again Maxima of Holland and her daughter Amalia and so on.
