Princess Beatrice of York was spotted leaving the Ralph & Russo store in London just before her sister, Eugenie, marries Jack Brooksbank [1]. Oh my, oh my! Is it possible that Beatrice was attending a final fitting for her own bridesmaid dress [2]? While the stylish royal [3] has pulled out all the stops for many weddings in the past [4], it's safe to say she's most delighted to attend her own sister's nuptials.
And that leads us to the other elephant in the room — er, on the street — did Beatrice select a blue coat on purpose? Is her outerwear fronting as Eugenie's "something blue" for the day? It could be a stretch, but doesn't it warm your heart to see Beatrice glowing the day before this momentous occasion, in such a snazzy outfit no less?
Read on to see how Beatrice styled her jacket with sensible black loafers and an oxblood bag as she checked this important item off her to-do list, then shop some similar coats if you're feeling inspired.
