Blushing Bea! When Princess Beatrice's outfits stole the spotlight

She's had so many iconic looks over the years. - by Catie Powers
  • 09 Aug 2021

If there's one royal who knows how to deliver an iconic fashion moment, it's Princess Beatrice. The radiant red-head is always providing us with a new frock to fawn over before desperately crawling the web for a replica. 

WATCH: Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s love story

That's right, when she's not busy preparing to welcome her first child with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Bea, 33, is busy dropping jaws with her elegant numbers.

From her billowing sleeves, to breathtakingly beautiful and borrowed wedding gown, Bea never fails to turn heads at any royal engagement.

We've taken a look back at the Princess' most iconic fashion moments.

Fashion for a cause

In 2007 when she was just 19 years old, Princess Beatrice took the runway with her mum, Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, for the September Fashion For Relief show during London Fashion week. 

The mum and daughter rocked near-matching black frocks and stunning sapphire necklaces. Their red locks were carefully curled over their shoulders as they strutted their stuff to much applause.

Stealing the spotlight

Four years after Bea's runway moment, the Princess nearly stole the spotlight from the future Queen's Consort, Duchess Catherine, on her own wedding day!

Indeed, on April 29 2011, Beatrice rocked up to Prince William and Kate Middleton's famous royal wedding donning a pale pink dress by Valentino Couture with a statement headpiece. The polarising look divided fans at the time.

Glammed up for the gala

While the Met Gala has come to be known as a celeb hotspot in recent years, the royals have also made an appearance on the red carpet. 

On May 7th 2018, Princess Beatrice joined the likes of Zendaya and Rihanna at the Heavenly Bodies-themed gala, turning heads with her bold and billowing purple number. 

Pairing it with simple black and silver accessories, Bea sure looked like the Belle of the ball.

Another wedding and another spotlight-stealing number.

On May 19th 2018, Princess Beatrice attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding. And, boy, did she look stunning. 

Donning a cobalt-blue frock with bead detailing and flared sleeves, Bea sure made a statement as she watched the Sussexes' tie the knot.

Blue is Bea's colour

Blue is Bea's colour and she knows it. And apparently it's ripe for a wedding as Beatrice rocked this stunning navy and lace number by Self Portrait to Lady Gabrielle Windsor and Thomas Kingston's big day on May 18th 2019. 

Paired with tall beige heels and a flowery white headpiece, the Princess looked radiant as she watched the nuptials unfold.

Like grandmother, like granddaughter

Another blue number - we're sensing a theme. But can you blame the royal when it suits her so well?

This light blue floral-patterned dress by Jonathan Simkai was donned at the 2019 Royal Ascot on June 18. The mum-to-be's sky-blue outfit matched her grandmother's (the Queen) elegant coat dress.

Bea also rocked one of her signature head pieces; this time, it was a wide-brimmed blue hat with some simple red detailing to tie the look together.

An elegant engagement

On September 26 2019, the official royal family Instagram account announced that Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were engaged, to much fanfare from royal fans. 

As well as the news itself, what also got tongues wagging was the outfit Bea was rocking in the announcement photo. 

Simple but classy, the green floral frock by Aussie label Zimmermann donned by the princess was accompanied by basic gold jewellery including, of course, her shiny new engagement ring. With her stunning red locks curled over her shoulder, Beatrice looked radiant as she stared lovingly into her fiancé's eyes.

Becoming the bride

After threatening to steal the spotlight at all those royal weddings with her gorgeous frocks, Beatrice finally had all eyes on her for her big day. 

Bea and Edo were married in a small and private ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor on Friday 17th July 2020. 

In photos shared to the official royal family Instagram account, fans marvelled at the vintage gown, originally worn by The Queen and designed by Sir Norman Hartnell, donned by Beatrice on her big day. The floor length number with puffed sleeves and silver detailing looked custom-made for a fairytale and the princess glowed as she stood hand-in-hand with her new husband.
