Dara Huang, the mother of Princess Beatrice’s stepson Wolfie, celebrated Chinese New Year at the prestigious Raffles London at The OWO.
The Taiwanese-American architect shared her festivities with her 74,000 Instagram followers, donning a striking red satin ensemble.

The traditional celebration spans 15 days and is observed by millions worldwide as one of the most significant cultural festivities.
Harvard-educated Huang has established herself as a prominent architect, founding her own firm and collaborating with prestigious brands.
Her portfolio includes designs for Manolo Blahnik stores worldwide, Harrods, Cartier, and the Four Seasons Hotels.
She shares a son, Christopher Woolf (Wolfie) Mapelli Mozzi, born on March 28, 2016, with property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The couple separated in 2018.

Wolfie has become increasingly involved in royal events, making his debut at the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in 2023.
He also joined the Royal Family for the Christmas Day walk to Sandringham House last month.
Meanwhile, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has been spotted in Switzerland, sharing images of his latest hotel design project on Instagram.
The property developer, who founded Banda Property in 2007, posted three photographs showcasing his company’s concept design for a Swiss hotel.

The location tag on his social media update confirmed his presence in Switzerland, where his wife Princess Beatrice is expected to join him.
The couple, who married in 2020 at the All Saints Chapel, are anticipating their second child in early spring.
Princess Beatrice is set to travel to Switzerland later this month to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The Princess of York, who is currently expecting her second child, will speak about climate change at the conference taking place between January 20 and January 24.
This journey marks a significant change from her Christmas plans, when medical advice prevented her from travelling abroad to Italy with Edoardo’s family.
Instead of joining her husband’s relatives, the couple celebrated Christmas at Sandringham with King Charles, alongside their daughter Sienna and Wolfie.
The reason for the princess’s newfound ability to travel to Switzerland, despite its proximity to Italy, has not been disclosed.
