The 28-year-old blonde posed for snaps in the sparkling number, which was adorned with silver sequins and showcased her leggy pins underneath.

She wore black tights and clunky heels to offset the skirt, adding a red top with a black bow detailing to the look.

The Victoria and Albert Museum have launched an exhibition showcasing some of the most iconic pieces from the designer - who is known as a pioneer of the Swinging Sixties.

Mary, 85, created a fashion revolution on the British high street and introduced the nation to everything from hot pants and mini skirts to vibrant tights and makeup - as well as the legendary bob haircut.

And visitors will now be able to step back in time to the 1960s for the first international retrospective on the designer, which will celebrate her commitment to feminism and democracy in fashion.

Exploring the years between 1955 and 1975 - the period she first began - the display will feature pieces from the V&A's archive and Mary's collection, along with treasured clothes and photographs donated or loaned by women from all over the UK, who responded to the V&A's call-out to help locate the lost designs.

It will also feature never-before-seen sketches and photographs that offer an insight into the working life of the revolutionary designer. 

Mary's work has been praised for creating a 'movement of liberation' for working women bound by conservative clothing and gender roles.

But she has long been overlooked for exhibitions because of her belief in democratic, available fashion, curators said. 

Dame Mary's sleek, streamlined and vibrant designs revolutionised womenswear and defined the look of London in the 1960s. Her garments borrowed from men's clothing and blurred gender lines.
