Rather than competing with the statement-making gown, the Princess opted for restrained accessories. She paired the sparkling creation with champagne-colored pointed-toe pumps and timeless diamond stud earrings, allowing the dress to remain the focal point of the look.

Soft smoky eye makeup added definition to her blue eyes, while rosy blush and a glossy natural pink lip brought warmth and freshness to the overall look.
