Princess Beatrice, 34, attended the wedding of Kate, Princess of Wales and Prince William back in 2011 wearing a Valentino dress and coat, Valentino pumps and a Philip Treacy Downton Bow hat.
The Princess, who also carried a Valentino bow clutch in pink, was one of the most talked about guests at the royal wedding due to her unusual outfit.
Many thought her hat resembled a toilet seat and took to social media to label it as such.
Princess Beatrice later sold the designer hat on eBay for £81,100 and donated the money to Unicef and Children in Crisis.
However, one of Beatrice’s lesser-known looks took place later that day at Kate and William’s after-party.
The Princess of York stepped out at the Goring Hotel wearing a Marchesa one-shoulder embellished purple gown, in addition to Cath Kidston cherry-printed plimsolls.
The cherry-printed canvas plimsolls were an unusual choice for a Princess, as many expected her to wear heels at such a VIP event.
The white trainers with a pink and green print did not exactly complement Beatrice’s purple gown, making the outfit look a little mismatched.
Beatrice’s gown had the following description: “Astonish the crowd at the next evening party when you have this Marchesa gown on!
“It has that goddess flair with the one draped shoulder. It features a gathered silk with gold floral embroidery around the top and waist, white crystal and tonal sequin and bead embellishment on embroidery, hidden back zip and train.”
The dress originally sold for £2,251 and looked lovely on the Princess, especially with her strawberry-blonde hair.
Princess Beatrice was never photographed wearing her Cath Kidston shoes or her Marchesa dress ever again.
However, she did re-wear her Valentino dress from the wedding ceremony to another wedding in 2014 – this time for Prince Amedeo of Belgium’s wedding to Elisabetta Maria Rosboch Von Wolkenstein in Rome.
Beatrice also re-wore the same Valentino pumps from Kate and William’s nuptials for this Italian royal wedding.
These Valentino studded suede pumps clearly meant a lot to the Princess, as she chose them for her ‘Something Old’ in 2020 to marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Their description reads: “Be at your most fabulous this party season in Valentino’s stud-embellished blush suede pumps.
“Complement the delicate shade with a sorbet-hued dress and silver accessories to take to the dance floor in flawless style.”
