The STARZ hit television miniseries, The Spanish Princess, boasts extremely lavish costuming as the show follows Princess Catherine of Aragorn’s ambitious ascension to the English Throne. The monarch is seen wearing bold, vibrant colors that contrast her new position in the English court.

This important consuming choice is meant to visually showcase the differences in cultures, Catherine’s bold personality, and the overall conflicting opinions about how a princess should behave. From her voyage to England, her marriage to Arthur, to her other political ambitions, this monarch is consistently dressed to impress. Here is a look at the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon’s, top ten costumes.

10 Princess Catherine’s Uniquely Layered Hoop Skirt

Catherine’s layered hoop skirt is an interesting addition to the princess’s wardrobe.

Something of this nature is not commonly seen in television dramas. Instead, princess skirts are more often than not depicted as the bottom of an elaborate ballgown. That said, this presentation of the era’s fashion is a bold decision that not only works to show the differences between Spanish culture and English culture but also represents another form of monarch style.

9 Catherine’s Roadside Blue Cloak

The delicate leafy pattern of the fabric is stunning, especially with the color contrast between the blue and white. With the fabric taking flight in the small gusts of wind, it is a beautiful sight to cinematically behold when a grieving Prince (now King) Henry embraces Princess Catherine on the roadside.

With such a bold color contrast, she truly wanted Henry to notice her as she awaiting him along the road.

8 Catherine’s Embroidered Autumn Cloak

Catherine of Aragorn wore many cloaks within the show, because of the chilly weather in England at this time. One the other side of the color wheel, this beautifully embroidered cloak differs from the previously mentioned blue one, because of this fine, three-dimensional detailing.

The Autumn earth-tones of the fabric compliment the monarch’s red hair and also blend into the environment around her.

7 The Dress Catherine Wore When Leaving Spain

This dress matches the landscape of Spain. This shows that even though Catherine is destined to marry Prince Author Tudor of England, she is a Spaniard at heart. Even though she knows she will never set foot back on the land of Spain or show her unwed presence in her mother, Queen Isabella’s court again, part of her will always belong to Spain.

She will carry the warm air, and desert lands with her to the cold, dreary English countryside, as presented in the show.

6 The Vibrant Ensemble

Keeping Catherine’s Spanish influence in mind, both her and her ladies-in-waiting consistently wear bold, beautiful and bright patterns that juxtapose the fashion norms of England at this time, and they so do unapologetically and with pride for their homeland. It is as if they bring a breath of Spanish air into the English court.

5 Catherine of Aragorn’s Red and Gold Dress

Red and gold is a common color pattern for both English monarchs and those that associate with the English throne. Queen Elizabeth is often depicted as wearing a red and gold, in the television show, Reign, Mary, Queen of Scots also dons the colors.

Because Catherine is an ambitious princess whose primary objective is to be Queen of England, it makes sense that she would sport this color pattern, and audiences are here for it.

4 Catherine’s Lady in Blue Promotional Outfit

This outfit greatly contrasts the red roses. This is important because, she is marrying into the Tudor family, which is made up of Henry VII of house Lancaster, who used red roses as their symbol in the Wars of Roses, and Elizabeth of York, whose family represented this war’s white rose. The Yorks were also commonly regarded as wearing the color blue when in mourning. Perhaps, given that Catherine is marrying into this family, she wants to show commonality with Henry VII’s conquering personality, and also Elizabeth of York’s cunning nature.

3 The Embroidered Traveling Veil

Who knew a veil could have so much detail? This striking embroidery emulates a firey detail, which is meant to visually embody Catherine’s passionate, fiery personality. It’s interesting that this elegant article of clothing is merely used for traveling, one would think she would wear this at a political function.

2 Catherine’s Wedding Dress

Though historically speaking, white wedding dresses were not a tradition until England’s Queen Victoria, Princess Catherine wears an amazing white wedding dress. Paired with a veil that symbolizes her pureness, Catherine looks absolutely angelic.

This dress also gave off some serious Princess Diana vibes.

1 The Outfit Catherine Wore When Landing In England

The contrast between Catherine’s warm outfits and the stark coldness of the English coastline is an incredible juxtaposition. This shows that the princess is clearly in uncharted territory and will need to assimilate to England’s culture; however, she will remain a shining representation of Spain in the English Court. This shot on the beach is a pivotal visualization of the character convicts to come in the following episodes.
