Mums night out! Beatrice and Eugenie glam up to attend a restaurant opening in Mayfair
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie turned heads as they stepped out for a fashion event in London last night. The King 's nieces sported all black for the launch of Mr Porter Steakhouse, a new eatery by men's luxury fashion retailer, Mr Porter, situated on London's affluent Park Lane. Princess Beatrice, 36, stunned in a casual chic ensemble consisting of a black blazer, a black a line dress and a pair of flat black Mary Jane pointed pumps. The stylish mother-of-two and stepmother to husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi 's son from a previous relationship opted to leave the blazer open, which showcased a row of decorative gold buttons. She accessorised the look with a tan leather clutch bag featuring both a top handle and an adjustable strap. Meanwhile her only jewellery of choice for the occasion was a pair of miniature stone encrusted hoops. The royal's famous auburn hair was styled with loose curls and a middle part, and fell loosely around her shoulders. Meanwhile her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, 35, looked equally chic in monochrome, albeit her look depicted a more laid back fit. For the engagement, the fashionista, who shares two children with husband Jack Brooksbank, donned a black wool jumper, a black maxi satin skirt and a pair of chunky-heeled leather boots. Eugenie teamed the look with a large black leather tote bag, a gold necklace and a pair of stone encrusted hoops - almost identical to those of her sister, with the items differing only in size. The royal's nude wool coat made for the perfect dash of glamour, while its addition completed a striking colour palette also worn by that of her sister, Prince Beatrice. The sisters appeared to have planned their looks, as they both sported all black with just a touch of nude. And if they didn't plan to coordinate their fits, perhaps the coincidence can be put down to uncanny sister's intuition. Eugenie and Beatrice appeared to be in high spirits as they smiled for the cameras before making their way into the establishment. Prince Andrew 's daughters were among a list of celebrities who attended the lavish grand opening of the Mr Porter Steakhouse. Formerly the location of the popular Trader Vic, the steakhouse describes itself as 'extravagant yet modest', and a restaurant that 'fearlessly explores the borders between dinner and sinner'. Guests can expect to dine on premium steaks, lobster, chips and 'perfectly poured' cocktails. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are no strangers to donning their fashionable best, as they did for the Royal Family's traditional Easter Sunday service in Windsor last week. Princess Beatrice was seen making a striking fashion statement in a stylish gold patterned headband as she chatted with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in the grounds of St George's Chapel ahead of the seasonal service. The princess looked stunning in the gold and black headpiece, which kept her famous auburn hair neatly pinned back for the religious service. It also featured a black-coloured bow which was fixed towards the back of the accessory, and made for a stylish touch. The princess teamed the striking headgear with a form-fitting forest green midi dress that cinched at the waist courtesy of a wide-set belt. The dress was contrasted by a block of white pearl buttons placed across its front and along its sleeves. And the royal accessorised the look with a pair of green satin Mary Jane heels and a dark blue clutch bag with a decorative jewelled handle. She was pictured arriving at the Easter service hand in hand with her husband Edoardo, 41, who donned a suave blue linen suit and yellow tie. Meanwhile her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, looked elegant in all white and a matching veiled headpiece. Eugenie also opted for a bold choice for the engagement as the elaborate headgear, whose veil covered a large portion of her face, was sure to capture attention at the service. The royal fashionista completed the ensemble with a white longline belted coat, nude suede pointed pumps and a nude tote bag. She appeared to be in high spirits as she smiled and chatted away with her husband Jack Brooksbank, 38, and her mother Sarah, Duchess of York. At one point before the service she was spotted entering the grounds with her uncle, Prince Edward, along with his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and their 17-year-old son, James, Earl of Wessex. The sisters looked delighted as they were captured in various photographs with their family members. The presence of their father, Prince Andrew, at the service also turned heads. He attended the Easter service alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family.

America's Love Affair With Crab Rangoon Goes Supernova
During the first two days Sidedoor Bagel in Indianpolis sold its Mr. Krabs Rangoon special — crab-flecked cream cheese and a fried egg inside a spicy everything bagel studded with Sichuan pepper flakes, sweet chile sauce and wonton strips — there were more than 100 orders, making it the shop's most popular special to date. 'The creamy, sweet and spicy components make it so loved by everyone,' said Josh Greeson, the owner of Sidedoor Bagel, who grew up eating crab Rangoon from the Chinese American restaurant in his rural Indiana hometown. 'It translates well to experimenting with different cuisines.' The crab Rangoon is neither from Rangoon (present-day Yangon, Myanmar) nor reliably made with real crab. Imitation crab, also known as surimi, and cream cheese are tucked into wonton wrappers — perhaps the dish's only Chinese component — and deep-fried. That it first appeared on menus in California in the late 1940s at the vaguely Polynesian-influenced Trader Vic's chain only muddies the waters. But those details are mere trivialities to the chefs who have turned their love for Rangoons into mozzarella sticks, pasta, melts and more. 'It sounds like someone drunk on mai tais made it,' said Grace Lin, the author of 'Chinese Menu: The History, Myths and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods.' She explained that many Chinese restaurateurs looked to American tastes to come up with appetizers, which are uncustomary in Chinese cooking except at banquets. 'Since crab Rangoon was popular and already considered Asian, they seized the opportunity and claimed it as their own in order to survive.' In Des Moines, King Ying Low, the oldest Chinese restaurant in Iowa, closed in 2008 and reopened the following year as Fong's Pizza, which serves Asian-inflected pizzas inspired by dishes like General Tso's chicken and banh mi sandwiches. But Fong's kept the Rangoon on the menu, albeit in the form of a pizza made with a cream cheese base, imitation crab, mozzarella and Asiago cheeses and crushed wonton strips. It's the restaurant's 'most popular pizza by four or five times,' said Chris Mendenhall, a managing partner. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
