Princess Beatrice proved her style credentials at a private fashion party this week.The 23-year-old royal hit all the right notes in a blush-coloured Roksanda Ilincic dress with blue cuffs.The Serbian designer is a firm favourite with Samantha Cameron.The Prime Minister’s wife wore two of Roksanda’s creations during a three day visit to the US this year, and championed her at a reception she hosted for London Fashion Week 2012.
Beatrice completed her elegant ensemble with a blue heels and a sparkling Anya Hindmarch clutch bag.The Princess is making quite a name for herself with some bold sartorial choices.And she had the chance to talk 'fashion' with plenty of other devotees at the event – the Britain Creates 2012: Fashion & Art Collusion Gala.Among those attending the party was her friend Holly Valance.The Australian beauty – set to tie the knot next year – looked stunning in a floor length black gown with sheer detailing and a large bow around her midriff.Musician Florence Welch went for a similar look in a striking Julien McDonald gown, while mother and daughter team Jo andLeah Wood made for a striking pair as they stepped out together.Causing a bit of a stir at the party was The Voice’s Bo Bruce.
The daughter of David Brudenell-Bruce, Earl of Cardigan, she is in fact styled Lady Catherine Anna Brudenall-Bruce.And she got connected with her aristocratic roots as she spent time chatting to Beatrice.But it was her attendance alongside her Voice mentor, The Script's Danny O'Donoghue, that really set tongues wagging. It is widely speculated that the couple are dating.Heading up the dapper gents at the summer gala, held at the Old Selfridges Hotel, were British designers Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon, Christopher Bailey and Ozwald Boateng.Iconic photographer David Bailey, milliner Stephen Jones and couturier Maria Grachvogel, who famously featured Victoria Beckham in one of her catwalk shows, were also there.
