Princess Beatrice looked pretty-in-pink to attend the Easter Mattins Service at St. George's Chapel on Easter Sunday, donning one of her most-worn Emilia Wickstead dresses

The royal mother-of-one, 34, arrived at Windsor Castle beside her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39. The couple joined several members of the royal family to enjoy the bright spring sunshine ahead of the first Easter Sunday service of King Charles’ reign.

Princess Beatrice's pastel pink crepe dress featured an elegant crew neckline, a retro bell skirt and black lace embellishing the sleeves. The royal cinched her waist with a slick black belt adorned with an oversized bow, complementing the ebony accents of her feminine frock with a coordinating black fascinator. 

Beatrice's famous auburn mane fell past her shoulders in a sleek straightened style, while she complemented her flawless complexion with a rosy blush and bronze eyeshadow.

If you recognise the Princess' Barbiecore pink dress, it's because it's not the first time the late Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter has donned the candy-coloured ensemble. 

In 2019, Princess Beatrice turned heads when she stepped out wearing the fit-and-flare creation at Trooping the Colour - though it has also been seen on her aunt, the Duchess of Edinburgh

Duchess Sophie memorably wore the Emilia Wicksted number to Royal Ascot in 2018, leading royal fashion watchers to speculate whether the royals occasionally share their most-prized wardrobe wears.

It wouldn't be unlikely if the Duchess of Edinburgh had lent her niece her dress, given their close relationship and similar royal style. Both royals are also keen advocates of recycling fashion, having re-worn many an outfit and statement accessory through the years. 

Princess Beatrice and Princess Kate have also been known to share clothes. Back in September last year, the Princess of Wales was dressed to the nines in a spellbinding, 50s-inspired blazer dress from one of her go-to London-based labels, Self-Portrait. 

The figure-skimming tailored gown featured a fitted bouclé jacket with a waist-cinching belt and a lace-trimmed pleated chiffon skirt - and Princess Beatrice had worn the same one just days before.
