Royal night out! Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie wowed onlookers as they attended the Vogue World: London 2023 party at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on September 14, 2023.
Billed as the UK’s answer to the Met Gala, Eugenie wore a stunning emerald green asymmetric gown by Fendi for the special night out, paired with silver sequin kitten heels, while Beatrice – who was joined by husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi – wore an elegant floral cape dress by Richard Quinn, accessorized with patent black stilettos.

Supermodels Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Adwoa Aboah, Ashley Graham, and Paloma Elsesser were all also in attendance, alongside A-lisdters including James McAvoy, Damien Lewis, a very pregnant Sienna Miller, and Ian McKellen.
It has been billed as a “theatrical celebration of the very best of British culture and fashion,” with performances from “leading lights of opera, theater, and film, as well as classical and pop music.”

All ticket proceeds from the event “will benefit a wide range of performing arts organizations in the capital, from the National Theatre and Royal Opera House to the Royal Ballet, Southbank Sinfonia, and the Rambert dance company”.

It was the second date night out in a row for Beatrice and Edoardo, as the 35-year-old royal and her husband attended an exclusive private viewing of the ‘Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto’ exhibition at the V+A on September 13.
