At just 15 years old, Princess Elisabeth’s sense of style is mature beyond her years. Queen Mathilde and King Phillippe of Belgium’s pretty teenage daughter looked lovely as she attended the 80th birthday party of Queen Paola with the rest of her family on Thursday, wearing a pretty pale blue shirt dress. However, this was not the first time this dress has been seen of late. Elisabeth’s £280 frock by French designer Maje has in fact been seen modelled on none other than 33-year-old Pippa Middleton, who wore it during her honeymoon in Australia at the beginning of the month.

It is clear to see why the pretty 'Rafina poplin shirt dress' was popular with the young royal. The suitably smart design made it an ideal choice of outfit when it came to attending a family event. The long-sleeved number features a pretty skater skirt embellished with a vibrant colour-pop pattern in tropical hues of orange, navy and sky blue.

The now sold-out design was also an ideal choice of attire for Pippa to dress in while travelling through Perth airport during her honeymoon with James Matthews. Pippa teamed her outfit with her favourite espadrille sandals by Spanish shoe brand Castaner, valued at approximately £100, and a straw basket-style bag by SensiStudio. The cool piece, crafted in toquilla straw and adorned with a vibrant hand-painted design, retails at £230.

It was estimated that Pippa’s honeymoon wardrobe totalled almost £19,000 judging by the dozens of fabulous outfits she was pictured in. However, the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister is also a dab hand at finding a bargain. This week, she attended a charity do with her husband James at Bunga Bunga Covent Garden in London in a dusty pink ruffle jumpsuit from Warehouse. The popular high-street store’s design originally retailed for £69, but now costs just £35 in the sale.
