Princess Beatrice channeled the dark glamour and romantic Goth trend with her The Vampire’s Wife midi dress at the Art of Wishes Gala alongside husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in London on Monday.
The British royal family member’s dress featured a lightweight, floral print crepe material. The pattern included a vibrant red floral motif that cascaded from the bodice of the dress to the hem of the skirt, with shades of muted metallic gold and dark tones featured throughout.
The design of the dress included a tulle overlay with gilded gold floral lamé fil-coupé accents. Padded shoulders added further dimension to the shape of the dress, which included a slightly cinched waist for added silhouette definition. The gown included accents with the ruffled cuffs and hemline.
