Princess Beatrice looked summery and chic as she showed her support for the Masterpiece Marie Curie Party on Monday evening. The fashionable royal, 25, cut a stylish figure as she mingled with other guests at the annual event, which was hosted by Heather Kerzner at London’s Royal Hospital Chelsea, and raised over £900,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Following a drinks reception, invitees were seated for a private dinner, attended by the likes of Clive Owen - ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre, the official supporter of the gala. Heather welcomed her guests before kicking off the auction; the largest lot, a David Bailey portrait of Kate Moss, sold for £80,000. The dinner itself was held in honour of celebrity photographer David, who has been an ardent supporter of Marie Curie for many years.Beatrice was certainly in good company at the event, organised to raise much-needed funds for the leading cancer care charity. Also attending were glamorous mother and daughter duo Yasmin Le Bon and Amber.

Yasmin, 49, has clearly passed on her model looks to her eldest child, and the pair looked like two peas in a pod as they headed out together for the evening.Monica Lewinsky, meanwhile, looked especially elegant as she rubbed shoulders with fellow invitees at the benefit. The 40-year-old recently announced her decision to "stick her head above the parapet" and come out of her self-imposed exile, following her affair with President Bill Clinton in 1995.In a recent article for Vanity Fair, Monica wrote, "It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.

"I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened." She added, "I turned 40 last year, and it is time to stop tiptoeing around my past – and other people's futures. I am determined to have a different ending to my story."
