With summer fast approaching, it’s the ideal time to invest in standout occasionwear. 

For inspiration, look to Princess Beatrice, who exuded glamour at the Elephant Family reception and awards ceremony held at Kew Gardens. 

She wore a scarlet Rebecca Vallance gown, featuring a dramatic A-line silhouette with brocade detailing, a sharp collar, puff sleeves and a waist-defining belt.

Letting the dress speak for itself, Beatrice kept her accessories minimal, choosing a Tyler Ellis clutch, Jimmy Choo velvet court shoes and Chopard diamond stud earrings. 

Luckily, this exact dress is available to shop below. If it’s beyond your budget, don’t fret – we’ve rounded up the best high street alternatives to recreate the look.
