Lady Amelia Spencer and Lady Eliza Spencer Return to Cannes for Third Time — Princess Diana Nieces Cannes 2026
Lady Amelia Spencer and Lady Eliza Spencer marked their third appearance at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday evening, and princess diana nieces cannes 2026 drew them back to the Palais des Festivals for another red-carpet turn. The 33-year-old twins joined the procession in looks that kept their fashion profile in step with their family name.
Zuhair Murad at Cannes
Lady Amelia wore a nude Zuhair Murad gown from the Fall 2026 collection, with sequins and pearls arranged in a geometric pattern. Eliza chose a black mermaid gown from the same Fall 2026 collection, with a lace bodice embroidered with pearls. Both women wore Sahag Arslanian jewelry, keeping the evening focused on a tightly coordinated fashion presentation rather than a one-off appearance.
Twins on the Palais route
The pair joined the star-studded procession to the Palais des Festivals on the same evening that Coward, a romantic drama directed by Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont and starring Emmanuel Macchia and Valentin Campagne, screened in competition. Their return fits a pattern: last year they appeared on the Cannes red carpet in coordinated strapless gowns from Vera Wang for Pronovias, while their eldest sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, appeared that same evening in an electric purple gown.
Royal name, repeated presence
At Cannes, the repeated sighting matters as much as the outfit change. Amelia and Eliza are not only models and UK socialites; they are also the nieces of Princess Diana and first cousins of Prince William and Prince Harry, which keeps their red-carpet appearances in a different lane from a standard celebrity walk-through.
The timing gives the appearance an extra layer of movement. Amelia married sports coach Greg Mallett in March 2023, Eliza accepted a proposal from Channing Millerd last July, and Charles Spencer married his fourth wife, archaeologist Cat Jarman, last week in Arizona. For Cannes, the immediate takeaway is simple: the twins are no longer occasional visitors to the festival, but recurring fixtures whose fashion choices now arrive with a track record.
