When it comes to wedding guest fashion, Princess Beatrice knows how to steal the show without upstaging the bride—a delicate balance many of us struggle to master. From royal weddings to intimate friend gatherings, her style choices are nothing short of iconic. But here's where it gets even more fascinating: her recent appearance at a Long Island wedding in a £2.5k Sky Rocket Dress by The Vampire's Wife has everyone talking. Could this be her most luxurious look yet? Let’s dive in.
Earlier this October, the 37-year-old royal quietly crossed the pond to attend a friend’s wedding, stepping out in a navy masterpiece that’s as unique as it is glamorous. Spotted by royal style blogger @royalbritishfashion, the dress—a cult favorite from The Vampire’s Wife—features a crew neckline, puff-sleeved shoulders, and a ruffled skirt that flares elegantly at the hem. The jewel-toned silk-lamé fabric and gothic-inspired layering scream opulence, making it a perfect fit for such a special occasion. And this is the part most people miss: this isn’t the first time Beatrice has worn this dress. She debuted it at a New York party in 2023 and brought it back for a friend’s birthday celebration earlier this year. Talk about getting your money’s worth!
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is rewearing a high-end dress like this a savvy fashion move or a royal faux pas? Let us know in the comments!
The Vampire’s Wife, though no longer in production, has left an indelible mark on royal and A-list fashion. Both Princess Beatrice and Princess Kate have been spotted in their designs multiple times, solidifying the brand’s status as a royal favorite. Take, for instance, Kate’s bespoke pink sequinned gown from the Caribbean tour in 2022—an outfit that became instantly iconic. Beatrice, too, has a bespoke piece from the brand: the vibrant Veneration dress, which she wore in a colorful floral print for a tech event in 2024 and in a deep emerald green for Ellie Goulding’s wedding in 2019. Talk about versatility!
