The Bruneian royal family is set for a day of celebrations as Princess Anisha Rosnah, the daughter-in-law of Hassanal Bolkiah Muiz'zaddin Wad'daulah, the Sultan of Brunei, turned 31 on 6 November. Taking to Instagram, the princess' husband, Prince Mateen, shared a never-before-seen photograph of the couple to mark the occasion – and Anisha looked breathtaking. "Happy Birthday, Nishiboo," the prince penned, revealing his nickname for his wife.
The princess looked spectacular in a Victoria Beckham satin gown in a dusty rose hue. It featured a gathered waistline and floaty short sleeves. The figure-skimming style also featured a floor-grazing skirt, a low V-shaped back, and a round neckline – gorgeous! According to Royal Fashion Daily on Instagram, the royal paired her pastel dress with a Dior 'Himalaya Top' bag made from a croc print soft pink fabric.

"Princess Anisha's birthday look is the perfect example of how refined simplicity can feel effortlessly luxurious," Constance Richardson, a fashion stylist who has worked in styling for over three years, says.
"Her blush pink satin gown by Victoria Beckham is elegant yet understated, with the gathered waist detail adding soft definition and movement. The fluid fabric catches the light beautifully, creating that look of luxury and glamour...It's a look that feels polished and glamorous without being overdone. It's graceful and true to her signature refined aesthetic."

She donned a much more casual (but equally chic) look on her husband's birthday on 10 August. A photo posted to the princes' Instagram saw his wife sitting on his lap in white jeans, a black T-shirt, and oversized tortoiseshell sunnies – we are obsessed.
