Princess Beatrice wowed royal fans by wearing a maternity dress, four months after giving birth to baby Athena.

The Princess of York made a stylish appearance at the 2025 Matrix Awards in New York City, delighting royal fans with her chic ensemble.


The eldest daughter of Sarah Ferguson wore a black cocktail dress adorned with embellished silver bows by Rebecca Vallance.

In a photograph alongside Spotify's chief public affairs officer, Dustee Jenkins, the royal demonstrated her great fashion sense.

Known as the 'Eliana' dress, the style featured puffed sleeves and a chic, waist-defining shape.

Cut with a mid-length hem, it proved perfect for the prestigious awards ceremony.

Beatrice last wore the dress in October 2024, just three months before she gave birth to her second daughter, Athena, in January 2025.

At the time, the royal was pictured at an event at Gaia, Mayfair, where she celebrated with socialite Nicky Hilton as part of her Rebecca Vallance collection launch.

The 36-year-old wore the same frock, except she paired it with Roger Vivier shoes that featured a bejewelled brooch on the toe, and a matching clutch bag.

Her confident choice to re-wear a maternity dress demonstrated Beatrice's practical approach to fashion and pregnancy wardrobe choices.

By wearing a maternity dress after giving birth, Princess Beatrice has helped normalise a stigma that many women face.

The 36-year-old's elegant choice at the Matrix Awards showcased her continued commitment to sophisticated styling at high-profile international events.

Princess Eugenie's older sister added a pair of black suede heels by Jimmy Choo and simple fine gold jewellery, as well as her diamond engagement ring.

Her auburn locks were styled in loose, laid-back waves, creating an effortlessly elegant look.

This marked the second time in under two weeks that the wife of Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi had worn the label Rebecca Vallance.

She also wore a red dress by the brand when she joined her uncle, King Charles, and his wife, Queen Camilla, at the Elephant Family's 'Wonders of the Wild' event earlier this month.
