Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie's friend attended Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos's pre-wedding celebration, which marked the beginning of the billionaire couple's three-day wedding festivities.
Fashion designer Misha Nonoo, 40, was photographed departing the event at Madonna dell'Orto in Venice on Thursday evening.
Just last week, Nonoo was seen taking selfies with Princess Eugenie at Royal Ascot. The princess attended the Berkshire racecourse on Friday and Saturday alongside other royals, including the King and Queen.
Eugenie wore a wide-brimmed hat and a dress with a billowing white skirt and square-shouldered brown top. King Charles was photographed kissing his niece's hand, whilst she also embraced her cousin Zara Tindall.

Nonoo and Eugenie were spotted chatting and taking photographs together in the royal enclosure. Earlier that day, the designer was also seen in conversation with both Eugenie and Zara.
The interactions highlighted the ongoing friendship between Nonoo and the princess, who has maintained close ties with both the designer and the Sussexes.
Nonoo has been a mutual friend of both Eugenie and the Duchess of Sussex for years, with their connection predating Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry. The designer first met Meghan before the actress began dating Harry in 2016.
Eugenie was present at Soho House in Toronto when Harry and Meghan were first seen together publicly.

Meghan previously spoke about a Halloween outing in 2016, telling Ellen: "He came to see me in Toronto and our friends and his cousin Eugenie and now her husband Jack, they came as well, and the four of us snuck out in Halloween costumes to just have one fun night on the town before it was out in the world that we were a couple."
Whilst other guests at Bezos and Sanchez's wedding were caught in a severe thunderstorm that brought the party to an early close, Nonoo managed to avoid the downpour entirely.
The unexpected weather left attendees drenched as they rushed for water taxis 45 minutes before the scheduled midnight finish.
