Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, just days before they celebrated their wedding anniversary, were spotted out and about in London for a spectacular evening at Carlo Agostinelli in Mayfair.
Beatrice, 34, sported a bright pink floral little dress by ME+EM that made her appear as though she had just stepped out of a painting.
The garment was called a “Watercolour Floral Print Swing Dress”. The Princess accessorised with a bespoke seagrass handbag from Anya Hindmarch.
This accessory was embroidered with the initials “BMM” (standing for Beatrice Mapelli Mozzi) to go with her floral ensemble.
However, one aspect of Princess Beatrice’s attire had royal fashion observers in a frenzy.
The Princess made the brilliant decision to wear two pairs of shoes for her evening at Oswald’s private members’ club.
The 34-year-old arrived at the elite event wearing “Embellished Hot Pink Sandals” from high-street designer Stradivarius, channelling Barbie mania.
The electric pink, flamboyant, buckled heels were the ideal choice for a statement party appearance, but Princess Beatrice had another option.
The Princess was later seen wearing Chanel’s renowned Lambskin Ballerines as she left the party. Evidently, Beatrice brought flats in her handbag for when she got too tired of dancing.
Their description says: “Chanel’s ballerinas are iconic and must-haves for any fashionista. Luxurious smooth beige lambskin leather uppers with contrasting black leather cap toes and a small embossed CC logo and grosgrain fabric trim set these adorable ballerina flats apart from the rest.”
The fact that King Charles’s niece wore such casual shoes left royal enthusiasts speechless.
They appeared astounded by the idea that even Princesses can sometimes experience a blister.
One fan said: “What I love the most about this is Bea changing heels for flats… It’s always nice to see that royals are just like us normal people, who will switch shoes for more comfortable ones at the end of the night!”
Another fan commented: “Ohh she a real one! My girl carries her spare comfy shoes in her bag like many of us do! 10 10 10s for her.”
One royal watcher wrote: “The heels in the bag and the switch to flats is so relatable.”
There are other royals that have shoe hacks similar to Princess Beatrice. Kate, Princess of Wales is renowned for wearing two different shoe sizes to prevent swelling from occurring due to wearing heels all day.
Similar to this, it’s said that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wears her high heels one size bigger than normal in order to avoid discomfort.
