Future queen fashion: all of the best style moments from Europe’s future queens

The future
queens of Europe are starting to become more active in their royal
duties, and this year I’m looking back at a few of their fashion
highlights as they step into the spotlight!

THE LADIES WHO STOLE THE SHOW IN LUXEMBOURG

How do you choose between Princess Catharina-Amalia in a
juniper tulle and sequins Monique Lhuillier ball gown and Princess
Elisabeth in a silver embellished Jenny Packham evening gown? They
might have just
stolen the show from all the other royal ladies in attendance
at the gala dinner for Grand Duke Guillaume’s accession in
October!

Maybe I’ll give the win here to Princess Catharina-Amalia, and
give Princess Elisabeth the win for the swearing-in ceremony
earlier in the day. The blue Nattan couture dress with dramatic sleeves
and embellished waist was a marvel of design!

PRINCESS INGRID ALEXANDRA IS TRÈS BIEN IN VIVIENNE
WESTWOOD AT THE FRENCH STATE BANQUET

Both of Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s major style wins this year
came at state banquets.
When French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Oslo in June,
the future queen of Norway was there to participate in the
events.

At the French state banquet on the first night, her burgundy
satin Vivienne Westwood gown gave high style with the draped
shoulders and corseted waist.

 PRINCESS LEONOR SHOWS QUIET ELEGANCE IS HER
CALLING CARD

Okay, maybe it’s impossible
for the namesake to steal the show at the Princess of Asturias
Awards, but this plum H&M dress against Queen Letizia’s black
gown and Infanta Sofía’s red jumpsuit made her stand out in the
crowd.

PRINCESS ELISABETH, THE STAR

Stars and sparkle are part and parcel of the holidays, and when
Princess Elisabeth returned to Belgium for Christmas one of the
only public engagements she undertook was attending the annual
Christmas concert at the Royal Palace. With the unofficial dress
code black and gold, Princess Elisabeth married the two with this
Rebecca Vallance dress—black, sleek, dramatic sleeves, and crystal
stars arranged on its bodice.

ICY BLUE FOR PRINCESS INGRID ALEXANDRA’S FIRST STATE
BANQUET

Days after completing her 15-month military training,
Princess Ingrid Alexandra participated in her first state
visit—from Iceland’s President Halla Tómasdóttir—and arrived in
an ice blue gown from her mother’s closet with the Pearl Circle
tiara she received as an 18^th birthday gift.

LOVELY IN LAVENDER: PRINCESS CATHARINA-AMALIA AT THE
OMANI STATE BANQUET

Of all the future queens, Princess Catharina-Amalia had the most
opportunities to attend state functions. We could’ve done a post
focusing entirely on her, truth be told. But let’s narrow it down
to one stately look: the short-sleeved cape gown worn at the Omani
state banquet in April. This lavender gown was the perfect
springtime look, and it was
a full-circle moment for the future queen, tiara-wise!
