The suit, handcrafted in soft leatherette, was taken from the Vivienne Westwood fabric archives and finished with a purple silk flower corsage.
Perry styled the look with opera gloves, a Granny Frame purse and a three-row pearl Bas Relief choker.
She accessorized with a dramatic hat that featured a crinoline base with a layer of tulle, merry widow veiling and a Petersham ribbon bow.
