Princess Beatrice's fashion archives are ones we gladly pore over, and this noughties look may just be our favourite yet.
While nowadays we look to Harper Beckham as the current ultra mini-fashionista in the making, we cannot forget that Princess Beatrice was once an upcoming It-girl, and we have the evidence.

Rocking a boho-style belt and killer shades, Beatrice was a 2000s vision, pairing the iconic accessory with a drop-waist pleated mini-dress in white. She added a girlie baby-pink cardigan to complete her look, adorned with white lace.
As usual, Beatrice's flowing auburn tresses couldn't go unnoticed; her luscious mane was styled poker-straight (likely the work of everyone's other favourite noughties accessory, GHDs), complete with of-the-era face-framing layers.

One of our all-time favourite Beatrice fashion throwbacks has to be the dress with a thousand lives, which could seriously serve as heatwave evening glam inspiration.
The dress in question was a plunging patterned sundress which featured a chiffon skirt adorned with a lilac and green floral pattern. The stylish summer dress was complete with contrasting gold sequin trim.

But this wasn't the first time Beatrice had worn the fabulous dress, debuting the flowing creation while attending Elton John's eighth annual white tie and tiara Ball for the AIDS Foundation in 2006 when she was 18.

For both occasions, Beatrice was accompanied by her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, which is just how the royal pair like it, especially when it comes to parties.
"We're each other’s rocks," Eugenie told Vogue. "We're the only other person in each other’s lives who can know exactly what the other one is going through.
Eugenie added later: "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."
