Princess Eugenie graced her charity's inaugural winter gala, radiating sophistication in a timeless black gown. 

The co-founder of the Anti-Slavery Collective, exuded regality as she gathered with her nearest and dearest in London. 

Accompanied by her mother, Sarah Ferguson, and elder sister, Princess Beatrice, the royal trio added a touch of glamour to the prestigious event held at Battersea Arts Centre. Notable pals including singer Ed Sheeran, James Blunt, and Cressida Bonas, also adorned the star-studded guest list.

Back in 2018, the world witnessed a moment of pure Pilotto magic during Princess Eugenie's nuptials with Jack Brookbank. As she stepped out of the car at St George's Chapel - adorned in a wedding dress by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos (founders of the British label) - Eugenie's gown combined innovative textile design with a contemporary feminine silhouette.

Sadly, just a year after unveiling one of the most lauded wedding dresses of the decade, the London-based label Peter Pilotto announced a hiatus in its operations.

A statement on the brand's Instagram account conveyed the decision saying, “After 12 exhilarating years of collaboration, Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos have decided to take a break and pause their eponymous brand Peter Pilotto.” The pause marked a poignant moment for the fashion industry, putting a temporary halt to a journey that had captivated international audiences.

Clearly, Eugenie is ready for a Peter Pilotto comeback.
