Princess Beatrice may not have graced the royal box yet at this year's Wimbledon Championships, but that hasn't stopped us reminiscing about her spectacular 'strawberries and cream' inspired look.

Cast your minds back to 2022, the royal, 37, attended the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in a minidress of dreams by royally-loved brand, Vampire's Wife.

We are completely obsessed with Beatrice's pink and cream look

The gown in question was the 'mini gloria' dress, which featured a ruffled hem and puffed sleeves, a winning combination to show off the royal's flawlessly tanned legs.

The design was an elegant floral pattern, the base of the dress off-white and the floral fleurie design in a warm hue of pink, the colour combination reminiscent of the famous strawberries and cream served at the championships every year.

Princess Beatrice added a Wimbledon boater hat and sunglasses

As for her hair, Beatrice stared with the long fiery locks down, styled impeccably straight, but shortly tied up her trademark auburn locks into an elegant ponytail to battle the beating sunshine.

Beatrice also added a Wimbledon boater hat - an accessory kept under the seats in the royal box should - to combat the soaring temperatures. The royal also slipped on a pair of stylish sunglasses.

Surprisingly solo tradition

Despite Beatrice's bond with her younger sister, Eugenie, the pair have never attended the iconic tennis competition together.

In fact, Eugenie has only attended once, in 2014, when she attended with her then-boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie looked fabulous in a vibrant coral dress

For the occasion, Eugenie chose to grace the royal box with a coral pink dress, which she matched with a cropped cream jacket. 

She also donned a fabulous hair transformation for the outing, the mother-of-two sporting ultra-dark raven tresses.

The pair stepped out at the championships four years before their royal wedding

Since then, Eugenie hasn't returned to the championships despite her elder sister's regular attendance.

Confidence is key

While it may seem daunting to step out at such high-profile public events, the sister duo previously revealed that they find confidence in each other.

Opening up about how they help each other stay confident, the York sisters got candid in an interview with Vogue back in 2018.

Beatrice and Eugenie are each other's 'rock' when it comes to confidence

"We're each other’s rocks," Eugenie said. "We're the only other person in each other’s lives who can know exactly what the other one is going through.

"There was a horrible article that had been written about Beatrice and she got really upset. We were just about to step out [at a royal garden party], and she had a bit of a wobble and cried. I was looking after her. And then about an hour later, I had a wobble and started crying and Bea was there for me."

Eugenie said, "When we were younger, I always used to make her go into parties first. I'd hide behind her and she'd make the first move, then I'd get louder and louder as she made me more confident.”
