Princess Beatrice wore a vintage dress borrowed from the Queen for her wedding to property tycoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Designed by British couturier Norman Hartnell, the ivory gown is made from Peau De Soie taffeta and features a square neckline and organza puff sleeves. Understated, feminine and laced with history, it is encrusted with diamante and has a geometric checkered bodice.

The evening gown was first worn by Queen Elizabeth II in the '60s. She wore it on at least two occasions, including in 1962 at the world premiere of the film Lawrence of Arabia and at the State Opening of Parliament in 1967.
Angela Kelly, the Queen's senior dresser, and designer Stewart Parvin helped to remodel and fit the dress to Princess Beatrice's measurements, adding sleeves and choosing to forgo the voluminous skirt.

Princess Beatrice's vintage choice spoke of sustainability while respecting the current climate of the global pandemic. In choosing a British designer, it signalled her support for the British public in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. It also follows tradition as Her Majesty chose Norman Hartnell to design her wedding dress for her nuptials to Prince Philip in 1947.
Princess Beatrice, who is understood to be extremely close with her grandmother, paired her vintage gown with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day.
The lending of tiaras has become one of the more glamorous royal wedding customs and is often a point of intrigue for royal watchers. Princess Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara also lent to her by the Queen for her 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi were forced to postpone their wedding after England's national lockdown began on March 23. Since July 4, weddings of up to 30 people have been allowed.
According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, the intimate ceremony was attended by 20 guests including Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as the Duke and Duchess of York.

“The couple decided to hold a small private ceremony with their parents and siblings following the postponement of their wedding in May,” the statement said. “Working within government guidelines, the service was in keeping with the unique circumstances while enabling them to celebrate their wedding with their closest family.”
The 31-year-old princess' nuptials have been overshadowed by questions about her father Prince Andrew's friendship with the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In November, the Duke of York confirmed he was stepping back from royal duties.
The couple’s engagement was formally announced in September 2019. Princess Beatrice chose to wear a floral dress by Australian brand Zimmermann for the formal announcement photographs.

“We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement,” Princess Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the throne, said at the time.
“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to actually be married. We share so many similar interests and values and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”
The princess has become a stepmother, as Mr Mapelli Mozzi has a young son with ex-fiancee Dara Huang.
