Lady Amelia Windsor looked resplendent on Wednesday evening as she stepped out at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition Preview Party. The 30-year-old chose to sport a dazzling handmade dress for the occasion, designed by Juliana Ponce de León.
Handcrafted in an eye-catching raspberry tone, the satin dress has a slinky, fluid feel, a structured neckline, and is backless, giving onlookers a glimpse of her rarely-seen tattoo. The royal accessorised to perfection in towering platform heels and the cutest bag by Ganni.

Diamond seam lines run through the skirt, creating structure and definition while maintaining the fluid movement of the silhouette. The gown is designed and made in London."
Amelia's sustainable pact
Lady Amelia is known for her dedication to sustainable fashion and is a true advocate for all things recyclable. In a previous interview with HELLO!, the royal gave us lots of top tips on how to keep your wardrobe ethical. She explained: "Love the items in there, washing them properly and responsibly. Using a steamer to refresh items or even putting them in the freezer for a quick refresh - Orsola De Castro has so many incredible tips in her book Loved Clothes Last - I highly recommend giving it a read," she revealed.
She added: "If things don't fit, get them tailored - there is a great app called Sojo where your clothes are picked up by bicycle and taken to a tailor and cycled back to you after having been altered to fit you like a glove."
Touching on her love of independent brands, she previously told our sister title, HELLO! Fashion: "There are some amazing small businesses that are doing such great things and have interesting stories behind them. "Brands that are also investing in good-quality fabrics and looking at different ways to make the clothing – and they actually have to invest quite a lot to do that. So, supporting them is important."
