No bride's special day is complete without the support of her dearest friends - and for Eve Jobs, her girl group is extra glamorous, well-heeled and no doubt, excited.
The billionaire heiress, 27, is set to wed Olympic gold medallist Harry Charles, 26, in the society wedding of the year on Saturday - with the star-studded guestlist reportedly including Princess Beatrice and former US Vice President Kamala Harris.
But for Eve, the youngest daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs, it's likely her clique of nepo baby and high-society friends that she's most delighted to share her big day in the Cotswolds with.
The model and show jumper's bridal support squad is thought to include Jessica Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen 's equestrian daughter, Olympian Eileen Gu and her cousin Grace Appel, daughter of Family Guy showrunner Rich Appel.
Grace's private Instagram page is followed by Alexander Ogilvy, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II 's cousin, Princess Alexandra, and 54th in line to the British throne, although it's unclear how exactly the two know one another.
Eve, meanwhile, is also friends with Lilli Hymowitz, daughter of billionaire Gregg Hymowitz, the CEO and founder of investment firm EnTrust Global.
Then there's the groom's glamorous sisters Sienna and Scarlett, who have also competed as top-level showjumpers, and are likely now firmly part of the bride's friendship squad.
Read on to discover who's who in Eve's clique of friends - from nepo babies to athletes and fellow tech scions...
JESSICA SPRINGSTEEN
Jessica Springsteen - the American equestrian daughter of musicians Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa - is expected to attend the wedding on Saturday, according to the New York Post.
Like Eve, she is a showjumper, and has risen through the competitive international ranks to become an Olympian and one of the top jumping athletes for the US.
She started taking riding lessons at the age of five, according to the US equestrian's website, and was a 'dominant force in the equitation ring in her junior years, winning the 2008 ASPCA Maclay Finals and the 2009 WEF Excellence in Equitation Championship'.
She has competed in the Royal Windsor Horse Show in the past, as well as winning the American Gold Cup.
As well as showjumping, the Duke University graduate has also modelled in the past, after previously being named as Gucci's equestrian ambassador.
Eve and Jessica often compete against other young heiresses, including Jennifer Gates, the daughter of Bill Gates, and Destry Spielberg, daughter of Steven Spielberg.
The pair have previously both been photographed at the same events such as the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida in 2018.
EILEEN GU
Freestyle skier Eileen Gu - an Olympic champion, straight-A student and fashion model - exploded onto the world stage at the Beijing Winter Games.
Born in the States to an American father, Gu's mother Yan, a keen skier herself, was the catalyst for her career on the slopes, booking her lessons so her daughter could keep up with her.
She kept up all right, and then some, eventually pulling away into the competitive ranks. Her ability was plain to see even at the age of 16, when she starred in the Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne.
Like Eve, she is also a model. She is signed to IMG and has appeared on Vogue and Elle front covers in China.
She has also worked with Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co, with photoshoots sporadically punctuating her Instagram posts of time spent with family, friends and on the slopes.
The publication reported that the athlete is one of the guests expected to attend the lavish wedding party that will take place at the stunning Estelle Manor country hotel set at Eynsham Hall in the Cotswolds.
It's thought Eileen was also one of the glamorous friends who attended Eve's lavish hen party on the Italian island of Capri, last month.
EDEN MACK
Another friend who attended Eve's hen do in July was Eden Mack, a creative development assistant at Apple TV+.
During the celebrations, the party gathered by the Tyrrhenian Sea at sunset, where Eve posed for photos with a group of close friends, including one shot of her wrapped in the arms of Eden, against a backdrop of dark blue sea and cliffs.
The bride wore a sparkling white mini dress and veil as she joined a group of her girlfriends for the sun-soaked weekend, which included yacht trips, late-night parties, and poolside lounging at a private villa overlooking the sea.
In one photo posted to her Instagram account, Eve was seen sitting in a pink-seated buggy with a wide smile as she revelled in her pre-wedding antics. 'What a weekend with my favorite girls,' she captioned the post.
Among those who liked the photos were Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and Olympic skier Eileen.
Guests included a mix of friends from the fashion and equestrian worlds, many of whom appeared in coordinated outfits for both daytime antics and evening celebrations.
One image showed the group walking down the steps of a local ristorante, dressed in relaxed resortwear.
Another image from the hen do showed them strutting through the cobbled streets of Capri at night, with Eve leading the way in her veil and glittering white dress

At the villa, decorative touches included pink inflatable pool loungers and a floating silver sign reading 'BRIDE' tied with string.
PHOEBE GATES
Meanwhile, tech scions Jennifer and Phoebe Gates are also expected at the society wedding of the year, according to the US media.
Phoebe - who also attended Stanford University, like Eve - was one of the friends to quickly share their excitement on the bride's hen do post last month, commenting two smiling face with heart-eyes emojis.
The 22-year-old has lived a seemingly charmed life - growing up with unimaginable wealth as the daughter of Microsoft founder Bill Gates and ex-wife Melinda.
The family grew up in a $131 million mansion in Medina, Washington, that came complete with seven bathrooms, 24 bedrooms, and six kitchens, as well as its own man-made beach, at-home movie theater, gym, and trampoline room.
The property, worth an estimated $131 million, is nicknamed 'Xanadu 2.0,' a reference to the fictional estate in the movie 'Citizen Kane.'
Her parents' wealth has provided a lavish lifestyle - complete with the finest education - and while older siblings Jennifer, 30, and Ryan, 25, have kept their lives more private, Phoebe hasn't shied away from the spotlight.
Her Instagram regularly shows her attending glamorous events, including summits, talks and exclusive fashion events, often dressed by designer labels and dripping in expensive jewelry.
But despite her Instagram-influencer persona, Phoebe - who previously interned with British Vogue - has been determined to forge her own path.
'Okay, I'm my parents' daughter, that gives me immense privilege, but it's not what I'm defined by,' she previously told WWD.
The budding entrepreneur - along with former Stanford roommate Sophia Kianni - launched her own e-commerce startup app called Phia earlier in the year.
The platform offers shoppers an easy way to compare the prices of new and used items across more than 40,000 selling sites.
Despite her father's wealth, Phoebe raised the capital independently - first getting $100,000 from Soma Capital, then $250,000 from the Stanford social entrepreneurship grant, and finally $500,000 in angel investments, bringing the total to $850,000.
SIENNA & SCARLETT CHARLES
Both the groom's sisters Sienna and Scarlett Charles are thought to have attended Eve's hen do, with the latter writing 'Best time' in the comment section of the bride's Instagram post marking the celebration.
The siblings - who, alongside their brother Harry, are impressive equestrians - come by their passion for horse riding from their father, Peter Charles, whose team won Britain's first team jumping gold medal for 60 years at the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
He runs Heathcroft Farm, based in both Kronenbourg, Holland, and Hampshire, in the UK, the home to world class showjumping horses who compete on the world stage globally throughout the year.
Sienna, 23, has represented Great Britain on four occasions as a youth athlete, winning team silver at the FEI Jumping Junior European Championship in 2018 and team bronze at the FEI Jumping Young Rider European Championship in 2021.
Her Instagram is filled with her sporting achievements as well as lavishing outings to places across the globe.
Her sister, meanwhile, not only has a passion for horse riding but also for art - sharing her creations on her social media page.
Speaking of her family's legacy, Scarlett previously told Sidelines Magazine: 'I've lived in Hampshire my whole life at our family home, Heathcroft Farm.
'I was brought up around horses with my siblings and I think we all aspire to be like our dad and are extremely grateful for all that he does for us.'

GRACE APPEL
'Best weekend ever,' wrote Grace Appel in the comment section of Eve's Instagram post, which shared the highlights of her hen do party.
Considering the candid remark, it's likely Grace, the daughter of Family Guy showrunner Rich Appel and Steve Jobs' biological sister and American writer Mona Simpson, attended the celebrations.
Steve met his sister later in life after being given up for adoption by their parents University of Wisconsin students Abdulfuttah Jandali and Joanna Schieble.
Clara and Paul Jobs adopted their son and gave him the name Steve Jobs. Jobs did not meet his biological mother until he was 31, when he also met his sister.
However, despite meeting later in life, the two formed a close bond - so perhaps it's unsurprising that Grace, 25, and Eve appear just as friendly.
Grace's parents were married in 1993 before divorcing after 19 years of marriage. The pair had two children together.
