Princess Beatrice hasn’t exactly had the smoothest ride as a fashion icon.
But the princess turned it into something positive.
Further cementing her place as a fashionista is a best-dressed list that the princess topped in 2024.
Scroll on to see Princess Beatrice’s full style transformation.
It was peak Y2K fashion.
As teen years usually do, the period also brought significant unease into Beatrice’s life.
Other royal events like Trooping the Colour and the Royal Ascot gave viewers some more gold moments.
Notwithstanding the fun royal women have with them, these accessories are more than just showpieces.
They are a time-honored tradition.
Up until then, she had been a relatively inconsequential player in the royal fashion game.
Memes and trolls swooped down on the princess almost immediately and her fascinator became a viral internet joke.
Her sister Princess Eugenie and her feathered hat were not spared either.
Consider, for instance, her appearance at the Epsom Derby races in 2013.
Clearly, she had a thing for florals.
She was no longer the 22-year-old with the funny pretzel hat.
A piece published by theIndependentin 2016 eulogized Beatrice’s fearless fashion sense.
She stepped out in a semi-sheer dress held together only by a humble nude-colored slip.
But the simple-looking Alberta Ferretti gown supposedly held deep symbolism.
The high-neck collar was also reminiscent of vintage royal fashion popularized by her ancestors like Queen Elizabeth I.
Or the monochromic pink dress with billowing sleeves she wore to King Charles III’s coronation a year later.
This inclination toward neutrality hardly means that Beatrice has discarded her printed outfits.
If anything, that pile seems to be growing just as her newer fashion sensibilities are.
But under the tutelage of her stylist Olivia Buckingham, she has been pulling those designs off with panache.
Who knew Princess Beatrice would be named Britain’s best-dressed in 2024?
We couldn’t agree more!
