Cult brand The Vampire's Wife is a total royal fashion favourite – and Princess Beatrice is the latest member of the household to fly the flag for Susie Cave's darkly romantic label.
Not for the first time, the princess stepped out in a midnight blue corduroy dress by the brand featuring a slim-fitting bodice, chic puff sleeves, pleated cuffs and a matching hem panel.

Princess Beatrice previously wore The Vampire's Wife's 'The Corduroy Festival Dress' last June during the Party at the Palace, a celebration held as part of the Platinum Jubilee.
Styling the piece differently in concordance with the new fashion season, Princess Beatrice teamed her dress with a slim black belt to cinch in her waist and provide a focal point. She topped things off with understated black boots and wore a delicate silver bracelet as well as several dainty rings.

Known for its timeless silhouettes and slightly gothic details, a piece from The Vampire's Wife would make for a sound wardrobe investment.
"My particular aesthetic comes from a great love of costume; Russian ballet, children's books, raw nature, art, movies, architecture, all manner of things, really," the brand’s founder Susie told Liberty London. "I guess The Vampire's Wife distills these influences into something that is practical, delicate, modern and simple."
The exact piece adored by Princess Beatrice currently retails at £795, but if you're wanting to recreate her look for less, we have found an excellent alternative by London-based brand Cefinn.
Founded by Samantha Cameron in 2017, the label has made waves in the fashion sphere, building up a reputation as a purveyor of "versatile investment pieces to keep coming back to". Cefinn's Daphne dress is super similar to that of Princess Beatrice, differing with a slim keyhole neckline and a more structured bodice.
