Princess Eugenie donned pointed-toe suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi for a reception and panel discussion on the fashion industry’s commitment to sustainability in London on Thursday.
The princess has a history of wearing Gianvito Rossi pumps. She donned the same style in a lighter beige hue dubbed “Bisque” to the wedding of a friend last year. Eugenie also wore Gianvito Rossi’s Linda block-heel pumps featuring a rounded toe in classic black suede at Queen Elizabeth II’s vigil on Sept. 27, 2022. In addition to the Italian brand, Princess Eugenie has also proven herself to be a fan of luxury footwear brands like Jimmy Choo and Sarah Flint, as well as London-based LK Bennett and Kurt Geiger.
The sustainability-focused fashion event was jointly organized by Jane Hartley, the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and Hearst. It took place at the residence of the American ambassador.
