The Duchess of Windsor

It was the wedding that changed the House of Windsor forever, so it's no wonder that Wallis Simpson chose a dress that stood out from the usual regal picks of the time. It was created for the new Duchess of Windsor by Mainbocher, who had it made in a shade he called "Wallis blue," which was said to match her striking eyes completely.
