The Queen wore this outfit again, in its dress and silk jacket combination, for a children's garden party at Buckingham Palace on 25 June 2006, part of her 80th birthday celebrations, paired with her Pearl Triangle brooch.

The Queen wore the dress again on 4 May 2011, for audiences at Buckingham Palace (below, with the Ambassador of the Slovak Republic Miroslav Wlachovsky). She accessorized with her Boucheron aquamarine and diamond clips:
