1. Princess Beatrice of York

Princess of Perfection

The master of this fashion feat? Princess Beatrice of York. Once the subject of much jest thanks to that Philip Treacy hat at the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding (the masses weren’t ready for millinery that marvellous), Beatrice has since become a beacon of sartorial elegance, pairing vintage-inspired cuts with fresh-from-the-catwalk glamour. Resplendent in Richard Quinn, mesmerising in Monique Lhuillier or beaming in Beulah London, the princess is the pinnacle of contemporary splendour.

But you don’t need a title or tiara to rule the red carpet, royal weddings or the steps of The OWO, the hottest landmark in town, where dazzling dresser Anu Hinduja proves that today’s sovereigns of style conjure palace-worthy grandeur while playing by their own rule book. Fashion favours the brave – and the bon vivant.

To see the full list of 25 style stars who made the cut, pick up the September 2024 issue of Tatler, on newsstands 1 August.
