Why Is It Called Royal Blue?
Ever wonder why this shade of blue got such a proper name? The color is actually tied to British royalty. The name is believed to date back to the 18th century, when a deep blue shade was created for a dress made for Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III. The rich blue became associated with royalty, which is where we get the name “royal blue”.
Today, the color still has that same luxurious feel. Royal blue is a favorite for formal dresses, homecoming, and special occasions because it has such a vibrant look while still feeling classic. And when it comes to homecoming, royal blue gives you plenty of room to play with your style. You can keep things simple with a sleek satin mini, go all-out with the sparkles, or add some personality with a flowy, tiered skirt. We picked five Ava Presley styles that show off just how different a royal blue homecoming dress can be.
