The final details of the dress included a high neckline and slight fabric ruching at the subtly cinched waist. Given the intricate pattern of the dress, Princess Beatrice opted to complete her look with a pair of beige leather pumps by Kurt Geiger.

During the event, Princess Beatrice previewed various pieces of art and posed for photos alongside Mr. Brainwash, born Thierry Guetta. Art pieces included various framed paintings with street-style flair.

Princess Beatrice’s latest ensemble serves as an ideal example of the qualities the royal’s approach to fashion possesses. The granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II often gravitates toward prints and whimsical styles, as evidenced by her recent showing at 2024 Royal Ascot.

The royal was among several guests who fashioned florals during the annual event. Princess Beatrice wore a linen and silk dress with Hibiscus floral detailing by Zimmermann. She coordinated with a floral pink hat by Juliette Millinery as well.

Princess Beatrice’s approach to style over the last several years consistently demonstrates a proclivity for patterns and appreciation for whimsy and ornate designs. The royal often stands out at events like Buckingham Palace’s garden parties and other nonroyal events, embracing elegant silhouettes without sacrificing her own personal touch.
