Princess Eugenie was all smiles in a unique embroidered gown as she attended a charity event on Thursday night.
The 34-year-old royal put on a stylish display at the Poppy Ball Dinner at Royal Albert Hall ahead of Remembrance Day on Sunday.
She looked glamorous in a black cold-shouldered Peter Pilotto gown adorned with a floral embroidered pattern on the chest and stretching down the flowing skirt as well as turquoise piping and a tie belt.
Eugenie styled the fabulous frock with a simple gold pendant necklace and sparkling star-shaped earrings.
Her brunette locks were pulled back in a tousled half-updo and she let her long parted fringe hang free to frame her face.

On Instagram, the Duchess of York’s youngest daughter said she was ‘honoured’ to be a part of the event which raised over £36,000 for the Royal British Legion.
‘Since its inception in 2010, it has raised over £1.5 million for the RBL. Fantastic work and I’m so proud to be a patron,’ she added.
Eugenie shared a small selection of images of her chatting, beaming and posing with fellow guests.
The post came just a few hours before Buckingham Palace confirmed Queen Camilla will not be attending the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening, nor the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph on Sunday.
A Palace spokesperson said: ‘Following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.
‘While this is a source of great disappointment to The Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week.’

It is understood there is no cause for alarm, and no downturn in her condition. The Queen is said to be mindful of minimising the risk of passing any last lingering infection to others.
The Princess of Wales, who is recovering from cancer and the King, who is still having ongoing treatment for cancer, are both attending the Remembrance events.
Buckingham Palace announced on Tuesday that the Queen, who has just completed a mammoth tour of Australia and Samoa with King Charles, was cancelling her forthcoming engagements due to a chest infection.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said at the time: ‘Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.
‘With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal.

‘She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.’
The 77-year-old royal is understood to be recovering at home in Wiltshire and is being monitored by doctors.
Buckingham Palace confirmed yesterday that The Duchess of Cambridge will join King Charles III, her husband Prince William and other senior Royal Family members at the commemoration for the war dead on Sunday, and be present at Saturday evening’s annual festival.
Kate is making a gradual return to public duties after completing a course of cancer treatment, with her last high-profile appearance at Trooping the Colour in June.
She has stayed home with children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis this week while William was in Cape Town for his Earthshot Prize awards.
But Kate’s double appearance this weekend will be the first time she has carried out two consecutive days of public official engagements since the start of the year.
As is tradition, Kate will watch on Sunday from above on the nearby Foreign Office balcony, taking part in the two-minute silence and viewing the veterans’ march past.
