It 's one of India 's most colourful festivals and when Princess Beatrice was invited to get involved during a London cocktail party thrown to celebrate it , she just could n't resist getting stuck in . Luckily for Beatrice , that meant bindi accessories inspired by the sub-continent rather than the paint-throwing that characterises the real thing . The 26-year-old was back on the fashion circuit for the second time in less than seven days , having stepped out for the gala launch of the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty retrospective last week . Bright spark : Princess Beatrice got into the spirit of the event with a set of bright green bindis . Looking good : Beatrice looked lovely in an emerald-green dress with a striking sequinned bodice . On that occasion , Beatrice , who is recently returned from the US where she went back to school to study a brief course in finance , opted for a daring thigh-high gown . This time , the Princess , who was attending a party thrown by London-based Indian designer Saloni Lodha , opted for a striking emerald-green dress and a forehead decorated with bindis . Ms Lodha , who grew up in Mumbai but has also lived in Seoul and Hong Kong , launched her eponymous label in 2008 and counts Samantha Cameron and Michelle Obama among her fans . Now stocked at Net-a-Porter and Matches among others , she is famous for her love of colourful print and flatteringly feminine designs . But Ms Lodha was n't the only print fan at the party , with fellow designer , Greek-born Mary Katrantzou , also in attendance . All smiles : Beatrice posed with Ms Lodha who was wearing one of her own eye-catching designs . Fashion fan : Beatrice has become a familiar face on the London fashion party circuit of late . Support : Last week , she turned out for the opening of the V & A 's Savage Beauty McQueen retrospective . Ms Katrantzou has long championed the digital print and regularly shows eye-wateringly colourful designs at London Fashion Week . Beatrice , who also attended London Fashion Week , has become a familiar face on London 's party circuit of late . A week before the McQueen Savage Beauty retrospective , the 26-year-old was pictured rubbing shoulders with actor Martin Sheen at another VIP event . Joined by Branson clan , Beatrice and Mr Sheen held court at a gala dinner at the Bulgari Hotel held in aid of We Day . Beatrice is , like her cousin Prince Harry , a supporter of the initiative which encourages young people to get involved in political life . Striking a pose : Beatrice joins Vanessa Buchan and Irene Forte for a photo at the event . Glamorous gathering : Beatrice with Lisa Marie Fernandez , Saloni Lodha , Irene Forte and Eugenie Niarchos .
