Princess Beatrice has resurfaced in photos from a special celebration abroad in Italy last month. The royal, 37,  travelled overseas for Juliet wine founder Lauren De Niro Pipher's lavish 40th birthday weekend in April – and she was a springtime muse in two glamorous floral gowns for the occasion. 

Beatrice posed next to the birthday girl in a smiling group photo taken during the Italian soiree, which took place at the luxury La Posta Vecchia Hotel, located just outside of Rome. The royal looked lovely in the floor-length multi-coloured 'Susie Ruffled Floral-Print Silk-Satin Maxi Dress' by British label The Vampire's Wife, as identified by Royal Fashion Police on Instagram. She kept her appearance natural with her tresses styled out and straight for the party. 

"Friends joined from five countries. Some knew each other, many didn’t. No drama, no early mornings, barely any phones except to capture moments. Just presence, great wine, pasta at every meal, and more laughter than I can account for," Lauren shared details from her birthday bash on Instagram

She added: "I planned it all and yet I felt like a guest at my own party. It was more special and FUN that I could’ve imagined and I will cherish these days and the people who were able to join me for the next 40 years."

Another floral moment

During the birthday festivities, Beatrice dressed up in another floral look by a designer that is a longtime favourite of royals such as Zara Tindall, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Queen Mary. The royal was pictured in a group photo posted by one guest wearing the 'Whitewave Tiered Dress in Navy Poppy Floral Print' by luxury Australian designer Zimmermann, which featured a sheer top and sleeves for an elegant evening twist. 

Beatrice paired the striking gown, as identified by Royal Fashion Police, with black tie shoes and minimal jewellery. Sydney-based label Zimmermann has been a go-to brand of the royal's for years, and which she has previously worn in public to events such as Royal Ascot in 2022.

Low profile

Beatrice's recent Italian trip marks a rare public appearance of late for the royal, who has been keeping a low profile alongside her sister, Princess Eugenie, amid their parents' ongoing controversy. The 37-year-old and her sister Eugenie, who is currently expecting her third child, have seemingly been making a slow and steady return to public life in recent weeks. 

Beatrice and Eugenie stepped out in London last month for a rare double date night at model Poppy Delevingne's star-studded 40th birthday bash. The sisters joined the likes of pop megastar Taylor Swift and her NFL fiancé Travis Kelce, Nicky Hilton Rothschild and actress Lily James at Marylebone's Hart pub.
