Princess Beatrice Pulls a Kate Middleton and Opts for a Glittering Gown

‘Tis the season to sparkle, it would seem. Princess Beatrice stepped out in London Tuesday evening, spangled from head to toe in rose gold sequins.

The princess attended a party for designer Monique Lhullier’s new London flagship store wearing an ankle-length design from the line, accessorized with a matching short capelet on top. She kept the rest of her look fairly simple, choosing to forgo a necklace and accessorize with a low-key bracelet and earrings, rosy nude heels, and softly glowing makeup.

Lhullier shared a photo of the princess to her Instagram account with the caption “London Nights.”

Beatrice’s rose gold moment is a sparkling echo of not one, but two past ensembles by Kate Middleton, a fellow princess and Beatrice’s cousin-in-law.

Most recently, the Princess of Wales attended King Charles III’s private celebration of his 75th birthday Tuesday evening, the same night as Beatrice’s own glittery outing, in a dramatic green Needle & Thread gown festooned with sequins.

To look a little further back in the royal sequin sequence, Kate stunned at the June royal wedding of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa in a full-length rose gold sequined Jenny Packham gown. Beatrice was also in attendance at the nuptials, and also glowed in a shimmery champagne-colored Reem Acra gown with sparkly accents. Both princesses wore tiaras selected from the palace’s vault: the diamond and pearl Lover’s Knot Tiara for Kate (paired with diamond chandelier earrings belonging to Queen Elizabeth), and for Beatrice, the diamond York Tiara.
