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.

Her long auburn hair looked longer than ever and super blonde on the ends, while her makeup look featured a shimmery eyeshadow and pink lip.

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.

Sophie's Suzannah London look featured double-breasted buttons down the front and was styled with a pink boucle headband.

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.

Her look was elevated by a pair of buckle-adorned heels, and her red-toned hair was worn in loose waves.

Two days later, the royal went for a green moment, donning the green floral 'Brita' dress by Emilia Wickstead paired with butter yellow accessories, including Aquazzura pumps.
