The King and Queen of the Netherlands are back to their royal duties. Following their summer vacation, the family is celebrating Prince's Day, an important occasion observed every third Tuesday in September, marking the official start of the parliamentary year. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were joined by their daughters Amalia, Alexia, and Ariane, as they rode a ceremonial carriage through the streets of La Hague until reaching Parliament. For the occasion, Princess Ariane wore a gorgeous Victoria Beckham gown.

The Queen and her daughters all looked stunning, showcasing some of the trendiest outfits and their own personal styles and flourishes.
Princess Ariane made her debut with a stunning gown. While her sisters had previously attended Prince's Day celebrations, this marked Ariane's first outing, a prospect that excited many viewers. The Princess looked elegant in a Victoria Beckham gown, made out of a satin fabric and having a stylish drape around the waist. The dress is valued at 1,150 Euros and can be purchased through her website.

The dress is designed to highlight the wearer's figure and has become a staple amongst celebrities and royals. Ariane opted for the dark blue version, but in the past Queen Letizia of Spain has worn the same look in a pistachio color.
While Ariane opted for a long version of the dress, adding a more elegant edge, the Queen of Spain opted for the midi length, making the look less formal.

She also wore sapphire earrings and a light makeup palette, allowing the dress to be the star of the occasion.
