Anastsia it turns out was given a Regiment, the 148th Kaspiansky Infantry in 1915 perhaps the reason no photo of her in the Regimental Uniform was taken will be because of the war.

Helen Mirren as Catherine the Great in the uniform of the Preobrazhensk Guards, not sure if she was their Chief, but she was their favorite, and they like wise her's. Her predecessor Czarina Elisabeth  also wore Guards uniforms and also apparently men's military wigs (can't find images of that).

Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, Daughter of Czar Nicolas I. Colonel of  3rd Elisavetgrad Hussar Regiment, this is probably from the early 1840s before she became the Queen of Württemberg in 1846.

Grand Duchess Elisabeth Fedorovna, older sister of Czarina Alexandra, thus Sister in Law of the Czar, she was Colonel of the 5th Kiev Grenadier Regiment, the honor was passed on to her after the assassination of her husband Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich in 1905, he was the Colonel of the Regiment.

 

As we know she became a Nun and founded a Convent after the death  of her husband, and during the Civil War was murdered by the Reds in 1918.

 

Don't have a photo of her in the Regimental Uniform, but here she is along with the 5th Kiev Grenadier's Color.
