    As a busy mom of toddler daughter Athena, Lady Kitty Spencer might not hit the town as often as her younger twin sisters, Amelia and Eliza Spencer. But the 35-year-old daughter of Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, made a stylish appearance in the South of France over the Fourth of July weekend while attending a dinner party and brunch for Aquazzura and Net-a-Porter.

    Spencer kicked off the festivities in a little white dress with princess seams, adding a pop of vibrant yellow with Aquazzura's crystal-trimmed Tequila Mules. She kept the yellow theme going with the brand's gingham Bow Tie Clutch in a yellow-and-white pattern, wearing her blonde hair down in a straight style.

    For a sunny seaside brunch the next day, Lady Kitty kept it cool in a striped brown and ivory seersucker dress by Brunello Cucinelli, adding a pair of flat white Aquazzura sandals with raffia flowers and ankle-tie detail. She wore her hair in a low bun, accessorizing with diamond studs and blush-hued geometric shades.

    "The magic bubble that was @aquazzura à la Riviera 🫧🪩🫧" Spencer wrote on Instagram. "Loved every moment with you @edgardoaquazzura & @ricardofromportugal 🩵🩵."

    Lady Kitty was most recently seen with her younger sisters at the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in April, wearing a show-stopping red gown while Amelia and Eliza chose black outfits for their red carpet moment. And for Monaco’s Bal de la Rose in March, Spencer stepped out in a Dolce and Gabbana Alta Moda gown with a bedazzled corset top and a skirt covered in "needlepoint embroidery inspired by Jacques‑Louis David’s 1789 painting The Loves of Paris and Helen," per the longtime Dolce and Gabbana ambassador.
