Royal Style Watch: From Princess Kate’s pink gown to Princess Beatrice's rare tiara

The Princess of Wales

The Princess of Wales was the picture of elegance as she arrived at the royal wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif on Thursday – looking stunning in a blush pink Elie Saab gown with lace details.

Adding a neutral clutch bag to her look for the royal occasion, Kate styled her hair in bouncy Hollywood curls and sported her usual natural makeup.

The Princess of Wales arrived at a formal banquet later that day to celebrate the royal wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and his bride Rajwa Al Saif, looking beautiful in a shimmering pink gown by Jenny Packham.

Kate, accompanied by her husband Prince William, chose the dazzling Lover's Knot tiara to accessorise her look, adding more beautiful jewels with the late Queen's sparkling Greville Chandelier earrings.

The Princess of Wales served up quite the inspiration for everyday summer dressing. The royal visited the Windsor Family Hub to hear about the important work the organisation carries out to provide support to families across Windsor, Maidenhead and the surrounding areas. Naturally, she looked lovely as ever for the occasion.

The 41-year-old slipped into the sweetest baby blue gingham blazer which was layered over a simple white tank top and some dark wash blue trousers. Swapping her signature stilettos for a more practical design, the royal stepped out in a pair of navy point-toe ballerina flats, tapping into the overriding Balletcore trend of this season.

 The Princess of Wales paid a visit to Maidenhead Rugby Club to discuss the Shaping Us campaign and the role the community plays in supporting children. For her sporty outing, the royal put her styling skills to the test, formulating an activewear aesthetic perfect for a day on the pitch.

The 41-year-old sported a pair of baby slim-fit joggers with an elasticated waist and a slightly cropped silhouette. She paired the trousers with an aqua-toned T-shirt featuring the English rose and a pair of white sneakers.

The Princess of Wales stepped out in Nuneaton on Thursday, meeting with health visitors who have been taking part in the trial to evaluate the use of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) in the UK. 

Dressing for the summer sunshine, Princess Kate, 41, rocked one of her boldest outfits to date as she slipped into a green and white 'Petra' dress from Cefinn cut from lustrous leopard-print silk. The royal's turquoise ensemble comprised of a tie-fastening waist for a cinched silhouette, elegant puffed shoulders and a button-down design, which the Princess teamed with towering white pointed-toe heels from Jimmy Choo.

The royal looked elegant in a monochrome ensemble at the official reopening of the National Portrait Gallery. As part of her visit to the capital’s famous gallery, the princess viewed Yevonde: Life and Colour, a portrait exhibition by pioneering female photographers, and met with award-winning artist Tracey Emin, who was commissioned to create artwork for the gallery’s new doors.

She opted for a midi dress by her beloved Self-Portrait and a pair of sling-backs that she has worn on several previous occasions. The elegant piece, designed by the luxury London-based label, featured a fitted bouclé jacket torso. The thickly woven fabric provided a sense of structure, extending out into a finely pleated chiffon skirt. 

The Princess of Wales stepped out in Southampton to officially open Hope Street - a pioneering residential community for women and children. Continuing her ongoing love affair with polka-dot print, Princess Kate looked effortlessly elegant to attend a tour of the impressive new facility and meet staff, supporters and partners of the new scheme.

Recycling one of her most-famous Alessandra Rich dresses, the royal chose to rewear her £1,335 peplum-bodice, fit-and-flare frock that she first debuted at Wimbledon in 2022. The formal dress embodies timeless glamour, complete with a Peter Pan collar, pearly buttons and a feminine, vintage silhouette.

Just 24 hours after the Princess of Wales once more proved her penchant for polka-dot print by recycling her beloved Alessandra Rich dress for a moving engagement in Southampton, the royal served up another contender in the style stakes. Princess Kate stepped out in London to officially open the Young V&A (formerly known as the V&A Museum of Childhood) in Bethnal Green, ahead of its opening to the public on Saturday 1 July.

Looking the picture of sartorial elegance, the wife of Prince William wore a blush pink tea dress from Beulah London. The 'Ahana' dress, which she first debuted at Wimbledon in 2021, is crafted from wool crepe and boasts a flattering fit-and-flare silhouette.

Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice delighted fans with her surprise appearance at the wedding. The British royal arrived at the St Regis hotel in Amman alongside her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and other royals including Queen Rania of Jordan, who witnessed another of her children tie the knot on the big day. Princess Beatrice turned out a true Cinderella moment for the occasion, dazzling in Needle & Thread’s ‘Celia Gown.'

The gown, which currently retails online for £450 (down from £675) features tiers of crystal blue ruffle tulle, long embellished sleeves, delicate button fastenings, sheer panels and ruffle-trimmed hems. Princess Kate is also a fan of the statement frock, owning her own version in radiant red.

Later that evening, Beatrice attended a special wedding banquet, hosted at Al Husseiniya Palace. While she looked radiant in an embellished number by Reem Acra, all attention fell on her jewellery choice – a rarely-seen York Tiara.

The York tiara, a floral-shaped diamond scroll headpiece designed by Garrard, was famously worn by her mother Sarah Ferguson for her 1986 royal wedding with Prince Andrew. It was believed to be a present from her in-laws, the late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh. 

Princess Beatrice oozed sophistication as she joined senior members of the royal family for day one of Royal Ascot. The royal, 34, joined the likes of King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Zara and Mike Tindall.

For the special sporting occasion, Beatrice donned a stunning ivory silk crepe de chine dress dotted with pink rosebuds. The garment – a creation of royal favourite Beulah – featured a fitted bodice, a floaty, draped skirt, a high neck and billowing sleeves. Her enchanting 'Sonia Bud Dress' currently retails online for £495 – and we expect it will be a huge summer hit.

The Princess attended an event for Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice alongside her husband. The Forget Me Not Children's Hospice supports children with life-shortening conditions, their families and families living with the loss of their child across West Yorkshire.

For the touching occasion hosted by The 3 Acres Inn in Yorkshire, the royal sported a vibrant new aesthetic complete with stripes galore. Beatrice wore Jasper Conran’s ‘Blythe Full Skirt Shirt Midi Dress,’ featuring long sleeves, a classic collar and a retro printed yellow and cream colour palette. The piece, which retails for £250, was coolly styled with Zara’s ‘Maxi Bomber Jacket with Pockets in Ecru,’ which retails for £89.95.

Zara Tindall

Zara and Mike Tindall enjoyed a sun-soaked day out on Saturday as they attended the races at Epsom. Zara opted for a playful yet polished look as she joined her husband for the event, sparking excitement for summer dressing within us all

The 42-year-old looked refined in a white shirt-style dress featuring vertical black stripes, half-length rolled-up sleeves and a belted waistline. The number also boasted a peasant collar and a midi silhouette, which led the eye down to her elegant footwear.

The F1 Grand Prix of Monaco welcomed a whole host of celebrities and royals to enjoy race day on Sunday, including Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall at the event. The pair were snapped on the sidelines looking loved-up as they watched Red Bull's Max Verstappen race his way to victory. 

Zara was dressed to perfection wearing one of her favourite Zimmermann dresses. The 'Honour' midi dress has been seen before, but this time she added a brand new accessory - the Aspinal of London micro Lottie bag in Ivory Pebble. 

Zara reigned supreme in the style stakes at Royal Ascot, stepping out beside her husband Mike in a stunning botanical print dress from Australian brand, Leo Lin. The former Olympian was dressed to the nines in the 'Cecelia Linen Midi Dress' which was adorned with an oriental print crafted in beautiful pastel hues.

Zara arrived on day two of the races sporting a dramatic puff-sleeved dress crafted from rich petrol-blue satin. Her flattering gown featured a plunging neckline, A-line skirt and delicate plaited waist belt which she paired with towering heels. 

Princess Anne

Princess Anne is renowned for being the hardest working member of the royal family, racking up a record number of public engagements in 2022, but her wardrobe works even harder.

The Princess Royal put in a smart appearance at the 30th Anniversary Parade for the Royal Logistic Corps in Winchester on Thursday, dressed to the nines in a pretty pastel coat and coordinating hat. The 72-year-old royal caught the eye in a smart fit-and-flare coat in a pretty mint green shade, boasting silk button detailing and a demure knee-length cut. 

Princess Anne wore a bold teal dress underneath her statement outerwear and set off her elegant attire with a wide-brimmed hat embellished with ribbon detailing.

The Duchess of Edinburgh

She may have been born in the sixties, but the Duchess of Edinburgh was, and remains, a seventies girl at heart. Prince Edward’s wife debuted a soulful look on Wednesday as she visited the Shallowford Trust 'Farm to City' Event at Providence House in London.

The royal rocked a pair of printed flares by Sportmax, coined the ‘Dolly Ed Flared High-Rise Stretch-Cotton Trousers,’ which were coolly paired with a fitted white Chloe blazer. Sophie’s luxury ensemble was topped off Soler London’s ‘Amanda Silk Crepe de Chine Top,’ which boasted the prettiest shade of bubblegum pink.

Royal protocol ensures that style among the family remains relevantly unvaried. Yet, this is no bad thing as the Duchess of Edinburgh recently proved. The royal borrowed style notes from Queen Camilla on Thursday, stepping out in a floral frock we have seen before.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited Royal Ascot Golf Club in Berkshire to cut the ribbon on the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Wood. 

For the occasion, Duchess Sophie wore ME+EM’s ‘Flower Silhouette Drawstring Maxi Dress,’ featuring an earth green colour scheme, long sleeves, a drawstring waist and a collarless design. The shirt-style dress was paired with Penelope Chilvers’ ‘High Catalina Cotton Espadrille in Stone’ to craft a summer-ready aesthetic.

The Duchess of Edinburgh attended Royal Ascot alongside Zara Tindall to enjoy a day at the races. For the prim occasion, the royal decided to shake up her formalwear collection, stepping out in something nobody expected. The mother-of-two wore a heavenly white dress featuring striking bow detailing that protruded from the rounded neckline of the garment. The number also featured button-down detailing, long sleeves and a belted waist.

The Duchess of Edinburgh paid a visit to Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary in Essex, sporting an outfit that has broken her signature sartorial mold. The mother-of-two looked collected in a sleeveless khaki wrap dress by Alexander McQueen, one of the Princess of Wales’ favourite luxury labels. Coined the ‘Belted Asymmetric Wool and Cotton-Blend Twill Midi Wrap Dress,’ the contemporary garment featured a nipped-in waistline, single-breasted detailing, and a military design.

The Duchess of Edinburgh looked elegant as ever as she joined King Charles and her husband Prince Edward at a reception hosting the recipients of the King's Awards for Enterprise.

Sophie wore one of her favourite floral dresses by Beulah London, adding a pretty hair clip to add interest to her look. 

Queen Camilla

Queen Camilla made a change from her usual tailored dresses when she appeared at a reception for the Queen's Reading Room Literary Festival at Hampton Court Palace.

The royal chose a chic jumpsuit with ultra wide-leg trousers for the occasion, teamed with her signature bouncy platinum blonde blow-dry and a navy blue clutch bag. The all-in-one outfit is a custom piece by one of Queen Camilla's go-to designers, Anna Valentine, which she previously wore to the coronation concert in Windsor in May. 

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's appearance on the first day of Royal Ascot was filled with references and tributes to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was a lifelong fan and regular attendee of the racing event during her reign. But the Queen Consort also paid a subtle tribute to her husband's late grandmother, the Queen Mother, with her choice of outfit for the occasion.

Camilla, who looked elegant in a cream coat dress and matching hat and gloves, accessorised her ensemble with the Queen Mother's Courtauld Thomson Scallop-Shell brooch, which was also a favourite of Queen Elizabeth's.

Princess Charlene of Monaco

Princess Charlene of Monaco served up timeless glamour as she attended the grand opening of the Grimaldi Historical Sites in Monaco - leaving royal fans beguiled by her "unrecognisable" look.

The mother-of-two attended the festivities with her husband, Prince Albert of Monaco, and their two children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jaques. Rocking a fabulous concoction of khaki green, the former Olympian donned a striped silk shirt and a pair of ultra-wide trousers from Polo Ralph Lauren. 

Princess Charlene of Monaco  served a serious power move when she switched up her signature platinum blonde pixie cut for glossy, chocolate brown tresses earlier this month.

Rocking her new head of brunette hair, the wife of Prince Albert of Monaco had a seriously glamorous moment at the "Nymphes D'Or - Golden Nymphs" Award Ceremony during the 62nd Monte Carlo TV Festival.
