As predicted, Princess Beatrice looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day, and in the new photographs released by the palace, it appears that she opted to keep things very simple and elegant with her bridal beauty look.
The royal bride chose to wear her signature strawberry blonde hair in loose curls around her shoulders - an unusual choice considering updos have been popular among other royal brides such as the Duchess of Sussex and her sister Princess Eugenie. She completed the look with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara and wore her makeup natural, opting for a fresh complexion and peachy lip.

Beatrice, who has always loved having fun with makeup – rocking everything from bold red lips to smokey eyes – looked completely timeless in the happy photographs. Her beauty look certainly complemented her stunning vintage gown by Norman Hartnell, on loan from Her Majesty The Queen, which was made from Peau De Soie taffeta and featured organza sleeves, a geometric checkered bodice and was encrusted with diamanté details.
It's not yet known whether Beatrice worked with a hairdresser and makeup artist for her special day, or if the stunning look is the result of her own handiwork – much like the Duchess of Cambridge, who did her own makeup for her royal nuptials.
