Princess Beatrice’s Royal Ascot Looks Evolution: Florals & Fascinators

Princess Beatrice is a mainstay at Royal Ascot. The annual affair, which takes place every June, welcomes prominent members of the British royal family to the five-day horse-racing event at the Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.

Over the course of more than a decade, Princess Beatrice, a granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, styled fashionable frocks with coordinated, statement-making hats and fascinators. Ahead, WWD breaks down some of Princess Beatrice’s most memorable Royal Ascot looks before the 2025 edition of the event.

In 2024, Princess Beatrice wore a floral print dress courtesy of Zimmermann. The midi dress featured long sleeves, rounded shoulders and a belt at the waist encrusted with shimmering details for an added defined silhouette. On the ivory base fabric of the look, pink florals and botanicals featured. Princess Beatrice coordinated the look with pointed-toe pumps by Roger Vivier and a statement headband in a soft pink shade courtesy of Juliette Millinery.

Princess Beatrice opted for florals the year prior as well, wearing a Beulah London midi dress.
