Zac Posen has shared a never-before-seen photo of Princess Eugenie in her striking second wedding dress on social media in celebration of the royal's 29th birthday over the weekend.

Eugenie's romantic blush gown was custom-made by Posen, and the princess recently revealed that it was based on the outfits Grace Kelly wore in 1955 film To Catch a Thief.

Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank at St George's Chapel in Windsor in October last year.

The Instagram picture features Posen down on one knee while holding the gown. The accompanying caption described Eugenie as "a young lady who possessed natural elegance, a heart of gold and sophisticated humour".

"Every now and then you meet somebody who just knocks your socks off," he wrote in the heartfelt message. "This last year I got to know a young lady who possessed natural elegance, a heart of gold and sophisticated humour.

"My studio and I had the honour (and the best time) collaborating with her on her special gown. Best of all she is dedicated to using her privilege to help our world and its people with her project @the_anti_slavery_collective. Happy Birthday!"
