Princess Beatrice's Aussie tribute in engagement snaps

Princess Beatrice is engaged to property developer millionaire, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Beatrice’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, shared the happy news on Twitter alongside a series of images of the couple.

For the images, taken by younger sister Eugenie, Beatrice opted to wear two elegant designs by Sydney-based label Zimmermann.

In the colour images, Beatrice is clad in a green, floral-print maxi dress - available to buy for $1,086.

The second set of images, a black and white collection taken by photographer Misan Harriman at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, shows the royal in a second Zimmermann look: a red silk wrap dress.

The brand was founded by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann in 1991, when design graduate, Nicky, started designing and selling dresses at a local market in Paddington, Sydney.

Her designs quickly caught the eye of the fashion industry and were featured in Australian Vogue. It was at that time that Nicky’s sister, Simone, joined the label.

It’s evolution has now lead to the brand showing at New York Fashion Week each season, garnering numerous celebrity fans including Beyonce, Margot Robbie, Elle MacPherson and Jennifer Lopez.

It’s also a favourite with the younger royal set, having previously been worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, Meghan Markle and Zara Tindall.

Beatrice accessorised the ensembles with her dazzling engagement ring, which was designed by her fiancé in collaboration with the British jewellery designer Shaun Leane.

Beatrice’s personal style has seen quite the evolution over the years.

In the past, she’s been criticised for her fashion choices, most notably her love of quirky headgear. A bow-adorned Philip Treacy creation worn to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011 quickly became a viral meme.

In recent years, however, she has found her sartorial stride.

The 31-year-old appeared in British Vogue along with her sister in October, 2018, and subsequently filled her wardrobe with contemporary brands, including Self-Portrait, Maje and The Vampire’s Wife.

Beatrice has even taken a step back from statement headgear, now favouring more modern headbands, choosing to wear a purple design to her sister, Princess Eugenie’s, wedding in October, 2018.

Now, with a much more refined style, we’ll have to wait and see what style Beatrice will choose on her wedding day.
