\n\tPrincess Beatrice<\/a> returned to a familiar shoe silhouette on Tuesday night in London. The royal attended The Chancery Rosewood grand opening in Mayfair with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, wearing Tabitha Simmons<\/a>\u2019 black satin Alhambra pumps.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe British designer\u2019s Alhambra pump, now only available on resale sites, features a pointed toe, a slim ankle strap with a small buckle and a high stiletto heel. Its d\u2019Orsay-style cut exposes the sides of the foot, and the black satin upper keeps the silhouette simple and structured. Tabitha Simmons, who launched her eponymous label in 2009, has built a strong following for this kind of understated formalwear staple, often produced in satin and suede finishes.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeatrice also wore the same pair the previous night at the Art of Wishes Gala in London<\/a>, styled in a more dark romantic manner with a floral gown from The Vampire\u2019s Wife. For Tuesday\u2019s appearance at The Chancery, she repeated the pumps with a black wool Zara coat and matching black dress underneath.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe royal\u2019s shoe choice also aligns with a larger return to black ankle-strap pumps across red carpets and press events this fall. In New York, Reese Witherspoon<\/a> marked the launch of her book \u201cGone Before Goodbye\u201d in a similar pointed stiletto shape. Earlier this month, Chrissy Teigen<\/a> wore Saint Laurent\u2019s Manon pumps \u2014 also pointed and ankle-strapped \u2014 for a media appearance in the city.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Beatrice, who wore Zara heels<\/a> during a charity event in London last month, the Tabitha Simmons pair emphasizes a subtle throughline when it comes to her shoe selection: a rotation of black heels that toggle between high street and designer, with the silhouette staying consistent even as the styling shifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Beatrice returned to a familiar shoe silhouette on Tuesday night in London.
