London's illustrious Raffles Hotel at the OWO was bathed in starlight as the Art of Wishes gala unveiled.
Among the renowned attendees was the stylish Princess Beatrice, who, alongside her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, made quite the entrance.
At 35, Beatrice has developed a reputation for her impeccable fashion sense. For the evening, she opted for a striking pale blue lace dress that flowed down to maxi length.
The ensemble, revealing yet elegant, showcased her flair for fashion. The light blue of her dress was complemented by matching heeled pumps, while a cream clutch adorned with purple and black patterns added a touch of contrast.
As the autumn chill set in, a white bouclé-style jacket elegantly draped over her shoulders provided warmth. Her auburn hair, tied into a casual ponytail, allowed her statement earrings to be prominently displayed.

Among those in attendance were TV presenter Vernon Kay, TikTok sensation Abby Roberts, and renowned stylist Evie Henderson.

Speaking of Sienna, a recent Instagram post by Edoardo unveiled a sweet nickname for her. Sharing a picture of Sienna in a festive sombrero on her second birthday, he wrote, "Happy birthday baby girl. You bring us so much love and joy every day."
Dara Huang, Wolfie's mother, commented on the post with, "Happy birthday Cece," accompanied by heart emojis.
The name Sienna, with Italian origins possibly reflecting Edo's heritage, translates to "orange-red," a possible nod to the Duchess of York's vibrant hair.

Despite being a princess, Sienna doesn't carry a royal title, as only the monarch's grandchildren through the male line inherit this styling. King Charles could confer a title upon Sienna, though it remains unlikely.
However, through Edoardo's lineage, Sienna boasts Italian aristocratic heritage. Edoardo's family heritage traces back to the Villa Mapelli Mozzi palace in northern Italy, giving Sienna and Beatrice the titles of "Contessas" and "Nobile Donna."
While these titles no longer hold official standing in Italy, they remain symbols of respect and lineage.
When Sienna's name was announced in October 2021, Edoardo's heartfelt post encapsulated their joy, sharing a touching sentiment, "With every child, you grow a whole new heart."
