Princess Beatrice surprises in very familiar schoolgirl look for girls' brunch
Princess Beatrice is bringing school uniform chic back. The 35-year-old royal attended Poppy Delevingne's Della Vite Valentine's lunch in London on Thursday in a modest look that wouldn't have looked out of place in assembly – a preppy vibe first pioneered by Princess Kate.
Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's daughter mingled with a host of famous faces and socialites at model Poppy's special brunch, hosted at The Ivy Chelsea Garden. Her modest look was comprised of a grey Zara sweater vest, layered over a crisp white shirt.
She donned a contrasting, darker grey wool skirt that fell to the ankle in soft pleats, opaque black tights, and gold buckle embellished loafers.
