Keeping it casual after her spellbinding appearance in a custom Alexander McQueen gown and Aquazzura heels yesterday, the royal opted for her trusty VEJA 'Esplar' metallic trainers with her springlike ensemble. 

The Princess let her chocolate tresses fall past her shoulders in tumbling curls, while she opted for her usual glowy makeup look consisting of a peachy blush, fluffy defined brows and honey-hued bronzer.
