When it comes to fashion, many royals go with what they know: classic shifts that never go out of style, skirt suits that can be reworn, and the occasional elegant yet modest dress while attending a fancy event. But Princess Beatrice is a tad more trendy than the other ladies who share her same title. For the 2016 Angel Ball, she skipped the classics and turned to a designer that today's It girls love: Tommy Hilfiger, who put Beatrice in a long navy and gold embellished gown.

Beatrice's choice was the perfect mix of regal and fashion-forward, as it was polished and nonrevealing, but at the same time, something we'd expect to see on Gigi Hadid. Perhaps this means she's been paying attention to the model's outfits? Scroll through for a better view of Beatrice's look, then cross your fingers and hope she shares some tips with pal Kate Middleton.
