Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are fans of nap dresses – you know, the Instagram famous summer dresses with smocked bodices and tiered skirts that are so pretty (and comfortable!) we’ll never give them up.
Stepping out for a London event post Coronation, Princess Beatrice showed the all-season versatility of the wardrobe staple, layering her $150 ‘Ellie’ nap dress by Hill House (the label that holds the ‘nap dress’ trademark), over a collared blouse for the chillier weather.
Bea’s exact Hill House dress print isn’t available, but the good news is the Hill House look comes in a color or print to suit just about any taste – 20 in total! – from stripes to solids, florals to gingham.

I wore it to a baby shower but I will be living in it all summer. I am normally an XL but I [sized] down to a large and that’s perfect. Super comfy and flattering.”
Another fan said they are “obsessed” with the look. “This dress is amazing - and it looks great on! These may be my new go-to dresses!”
Princess Eugenie's Hill House nap dress look
Princess Beatrice’s sister Eugenie also rocked a Hill House Ellie dress as she left the hospital after welcoming her son August with husband Jack Brooksbank in 2021.
© Photo: RexThe dress is so stretchy and roomy that it’s also pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly! So now that Princess Eugenie’s expecting baby #2 we wouldn’t be surprised to see her wearing one again.
So the nap dress isn’t just ubiquitous on social media, but it has the royal seal of approval, too.
