Princess Anne praised for 'pushing boundaries' as she debuts stunning new look at Windsor Castle event

Princess Anne has been praised for "pushing the boundaries" after stepping out with a bold new beauty look during the Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. The 74-year-old Princess Royal joined fellow senior royals for the annual event on Monday, marking the country's oldest and most prestigious order of chivalry. Founded nearly 700 years ago by King Edward III, the Order of the Garter is Britain's most senior Order of Chivalry. Princess Anne was appointed a Royal Knight of the Order, not a Royal Lady, in 1994 and took part in the grand procession through the castle grounds in full military regalia. Wearing a traditional Garter cloak and hat adorned with a large white feather, Anne turned heads with a subtle twist: a swipe of metallic pink lipstick, a departure from her usual no-fuss beauty look. Beauty editor Cassie Steer applauded the unexpected glam, telling Hello!: "Leave it to Anne to push beauty boundaries in the chicest of ways. "Reimagining classic lipstick colours such as red or pink as sparkling focal points is great for special occasions, and a metallic mouth- not to be confused with more sedate shimmer- adds a modern lustre." The royal, who rarely strays from a pared-back aesthetic, added further elegance with diamond and pearl button earrings, a feminine touch that echoed her sister-in-law Queen Camilla's choice of jewels. Camilla, 77, who led the parade alongside King Charles III, 75, wore her signature four-row pearl choker and a matching pair of diamond and pearl clip earrings. Watching the proceedings from St George's Chapel, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, 60, and Princess Catherine, 43, also embraced the pearl theme. Sophie wore a pearl pendant and diamond drop earrings, while Catherine donned a pair of vintage-style pearl studs by designer Susan Caplan and a five-row necklace. Just two days earlier, the royal women had appeared together at Trooping the Colour, where Anne once again showcased pearls and a pop of colour on her lips. For that occasion, the Princess Royal wore her ceremonial uniform as Colonel of the Blues and Royals, a full mounted ensemble complete with bicorn hat, jodhpurs, and riding boots. She also wore the Collars of the Order of the Garter and the Sash of the Order of the Thistle. The event marked the mother-of-two's triumphant return to horseback duties following an injury last year. As Colonel, she rode in the procession on horseback alongside Prince William and Prince Edward, rather than travelling by carriage with the rest of the royal family.

Iconic 90s dance music legend looks unrecognisable as she poses for stunning snaps over 20 years since she found fame

This star found fame in 1998 with the hit single Mysterious Times - which shot to number two in the charts. The dance track was released with German DJ and fellow 90s star Sash! and secured the pop star's icon status. She was known for her classic 90s boob tube tops and low rise jeans - and even wore a striking silver cat suit to the 1999 BRIT Awards. And her music career still appears to be a success, with several appearances at dance music festivals over the years. She looked unrecognisable in an array of recent snaps, displaying her glowing toned legs in one snap and sporting a busty blouse in another. But can YOU guess who this 90s star is? It's none other than Pray and Killin' Time hitmaker Tina Cousins. Tina is still making and performing music years on, having taken to the stage at multiple electronic festivals and gigs in recent years. Most recently, Tina played a set at Barcelona dance music festival Super Éxitos in June of last year. Speaking to live and Loud previously, Tina spoke about her hit Mysterious Times as she said: 'That was the song that broke it. 'Killin' Time was already out and that was the reason why I got to sing and do the check anyway. 'Sash actually heard the song in Sweden and really liked the vocal on it and asked and to try and get hold of me. 'It wasn't like I definitely had it. I went over and sung it, I was on tenterhooks to see if I actually got it. 'It was difficult because the German/English trying to translate bits and pieces was interesting, they changed a couple of bits. 'When I heard it played back, I was so excited I couldn't believe it and it came in at No. 2 in the UK.' Tina was also asked if there was anything about the early days of her career she would change. She said: 'I know everyone says they look back and wouldn't change a thing, you are so in awe of the fact that you have a record deal that some little things you let slide and some people do take advantage. 'Its a dog eat dog business. Having the right people in place. 'Make sure there is someone by your side who looks out for you.'
