Smiling Harriet Phillips is radiant in flattering dress for loved-up appearance with new husband Peter Phillips

Newlywed Peter Phillips and his bride Harriet looked loved-up for a special date night in London on Wednesday.

The couple were all smiles at Somerset House on 16 September for the opening ceremony of a new, landmark exhibition called Reviving Craft: Reflection of the Mind, which spotlights China’s traditional craftsmanship and heritage with more than 60 artisans featured. Harriet was radiant in red for the rare public outing, gazing lovingly at her husband, who suited up in black with a bow tie and a matching smile. 

Harriet’s flattering midi-length gown featured a high neckline, fastened up the front with a row of striking pearl buttons. The long-sleeved dress, which appeared to be the £895 ‘Nyra’ dress from philanthropic label Beulah London, was fitted with a matching red belt and a flared silhouette from the waistline.

She complemented the sophisticated look with brown pointed-toe heels and a classic black clutch. Harriet’s hair was curled to perfection for the night alongside a minimal touch of makeup. 

Married life

Since tying the knot on 6 June in a gorgeous Cotswolds ceremony, Princess Anne‘s son Peter and his bride Harriet have made occasional public appearances as a married couple. 

Two weeks after their big day, the newlyweds joined members of the royal family at the annual Royal Ascot. The couple looked to be still in the honeymoon stage as they held hands and beamed at one another while watching the races from the Royal Box.

Harriet and Peter spent their first summer as husband and wife attending the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and stopping by the Royal Charity Polo Cup in July. Earlier this month, the pair looked ever so in love at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials for a family day out alongside Peter’s sister, Zara Tindall.

She complemented her bohemian-style look with strappy shoes from Penelope Chilvers and a crossbody bag from Anya Hindmarch, with her hair styled in loose waves for the occasion. 

Peter’s bride has settled into royal life with a modern wardrobe consisting of flattering midi dresses, stylish sunglasses and natural glam. For her first day at Royal Ascot, Harriet was dressed immaculately in a gorgeous white belted dress with a matching netted hat, nailing the formal dress code.
