Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, the Duchess of Brabant, is known for her style agenda that is elegant and sophisticated yet completely fashion-forward.
As the heir to the Belgian throne, the 22-year-old’s style combines the latest trends with timeless, classic elements appropriate for her royal status.
While she generally favours classic and understated outfits with neutral ‘quiet luxury’-esque colour palettes as her go-to, she Elisabeth occasionally experiments and makes bolder choices, particularly for significant events. She also opts for a wide range of labels from Dior to Dries Van Noten.
This year the princess will study for a two-year master’s degree at the prestigious Harvard University in Boston after studying history and politics at Lincoln College at England’s University of Oxford.
Whilst we wait in anticipation for her American college campus outfits, take a look at some of her best fashion moments of all time…
