Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer becomes a modern day style icon

Princess Diana epitomised what it meant to be stylish. So when you’re her niece, you’ve got some big shoes to fill – but that’s exactly what Lady Kitty Spencer is doing.

She certainly has her late aunt’s breathtaking features and it would seem the first-born child of Princess Diana’s beloved younger brother, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, has inherited her impeccable sense of style too.

If Lady Kitty Eleanor Spencer’s impressive blue-blooded pedigree and reported $AUD200 million fortune weren’t enough to blow you away, take one look at the 24-year-old’s lavish lifestyle on Instagram and you’ll be just as obsessed as we are.

Recently, the stunning blonde made a trip to Milan for Fashion Week and shared an incredible photo on her sitting on the steps of Museo della Permanente in the fashion capital before the amfAR charity event.

Her beautiful blush pink gown looked straight out of a fairytale, sprawled across the marble steps – but the best thing about the frock was the fact that she’s worn it three times before. We love a thrifty fashionista.

Lady Kitty first wore the stunning dress at the Downton Abbey Ball in April (L). She is certainly making a name for herself as a style icon.

The Jenni Button creation was first worn by Lady Kitty at the Downton Abbey ball for the Centre Point charity in April.

She whipped out the jaw-dropping frock again in June for the lavish Hunt Ball, which she attended with a plethora of her Lady, Lord and Baroness pals.

So despite her multi-million dollar fortune and being one of the highest members of Britain’s high society, she still understands the value of a timeless dress.

And it’s not just recycled fashion that Lady Kitty doesn’t consider herself too good for. Princess Di’s niece has also used social media to make her love of a popular fast food franchise known.

“Don’t associate with people that think they are too good for McDonalds,” she shared on Instagram.

Not only is she supremely stylish and strikingly stunning – Lady Kitty is also one smart cookie, having studied psychology, politics and English literature at the University of Cape Town.

One of her first official appearances was back in 2007, when she joined her first cousins Prince William and Prince Harry at the 10th anniversary memorial for Princess Diana in London.

Since then, she’s stepped out at Catherine and William’s 2011 wedding and plenty of other high-society events thus making her one of the most eligible ladies in Britain – that’s right, somehow she’s still single!

You might never be a Princess, but Lady Kitty you’re certainly the sovereign of style.
