A dress worn by Britain's Princess Margaret for her 21st birthday party is among the highlights of the largest Christian Dior exhibition ever staged in the UK.

Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is the V&A's biggest fashion exhibition since Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty in 2015. It features dresses worn by actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Charlize Theron, ballet dancer Margot Fonteyn and author Nancy Mitford, as well as hundreds of items that have never been displayed before.
