Princess Beatrice looks blonder than ever in new cinched Royal Ascot look

Princess Beatrice was a vision in summer 2025’s best fashion trend on Tuesday as she stepped out for day one of Royal Ascot.

The eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, 36, was seen in a new pink and white gingham dress with puffed sleeves. The ensemble cinched at the waist with the peplum style top and rocked the A-line skirt, a classic Ascot silhouette.

The look with the check print (this summer’s hottest style) was collarless and belted. Beatrice accessorised her look with a white clutch, cream hat, and nude heels.

The outing follows Beatrice’s comparatively low-key outing in a navy dress and ballet flats to host a talk with Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, during London Tech Week.

Royal style muse

Princess Beatrice is not the first royal to rock the gingham fashion trend this season. To view the flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in May, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore a near-identical coat dress to Beatrice’s Ascot look.

However, the original royal style icon, Princess Diana, rocked the trend first. In 1989, the late Princess of Wales was seen wearing a pink and white checked coatdress with a matching wide-brimmed veil-adorned hat during a visit to St Albans Cathedral.

Princess Beatrice at Ascot

Princess Beatrice can be relied upon to pull out her best looks for a day at Royal Ascot. Last year, the royal went for full florals with her A-line dress by Zimmermann with a pink flower-adorned headband.
