Princess Catharina-Amalia looked effortlessly regal as she stepped out in a luxurious green ballgown during a gala in Luxembourg.
The daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, 21, attended a dinner at the Ducal Palace on Friday evening to mark the Abdication of Grand Duke Henri, 70, and the accession of his 43-year-old son, Crown Prince Guillaume.
And the royal certainly turned heads with her wardrobe choice. Putting her best fashion foot forward, the heir to the Dutch throne donned a stunning jade off-the-shoulder ballgown embroidered with glittering diamantes.
It was designed by Filipino creative Monique Lhuillier and retails for an eye-watering £7,600.
Amalia paired her head-turning look with metallic heels from Aquazzura, a silver clutch bag and emerald drop earrings which belong to her mother.
She wore her golden blonde tresses up in a low bun, making room for the heavy Queen Emma Diamond Tiara, which sat elegantly on her head, perhaps giving the young Princess an idea of what is to come when she is crowned Queen of the Netherlands.
The sparkling tiara has three centrepiece diamonds that can be detached and replaced with other stones and is thought to be the royal’s favourite.
It appears that Princess Amalia decided to opt for a more scaled down version of the headpiece, as it can be topped with five other diamond stars, according to Tatler.

The tiara belonged to her grandmother former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, who has taken the heirloom around the world on state visits.
Following in the footsteps of her mother, Princess Amalia opted for glamorous makeup for the occasion, which included shimmery eye-shadow, blush and pink lipstick.
During the glitzy gala, which was attended by numerous European royals, Amalia was seen curtseying to Stéphanie, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, 41, upon her arrival at the palace.
Alongside the Grand Duchess was her husband, Grand Duke Guillaume, 43, and Princess Elisabeth, 23, who is the heir to the Belgian throne.
Elsewhere, Princess Amalia’s parents, Queen Maxima, 54, and King Willem-Alexander, 58, were also at the event.
The King looked typically dapper in a white-bow tie and polished shoes and his wife opted for a stunning navy blue sleeveless patterned frock, which she paired with the Dutch Sapphire Tiara.
The showstopping headpiece is made up of 33 sapphires and 655 diamonds and was originally purchased in the late 19th century by King Willem III of the Netherlands for his wife, Queen Emma.

On Friday, Luxembourg installed a new head of state, with Grand Duke Henri, 70, abdicating the throne and his son Guillaume, 43, taking his place.
Henri revealed in a shock announcement last December that he would be bringing his then-24-year reign to an end.
On Friday, having reached 25 years as head of state, he stepped down during an event at the Grand Ducal Palace.
Then, Guillaume was crowned during a ceremony at the palace, where he also swore an oath to Luxembourg’s constitution, in front of the 60 elected members of the parliament, known as the Chamber of Deputies.
Following this ceremony, the gala dinner was then held in Luxembourg City, attended by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
The grand duke role filled by Henri – alongside his Cuban-born wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa – is a largely ceremonial one.
During Henri’s time as head of the state, the government steered the country through various troubles – notably the 2008 financial crisis, the greatest shock to Luxembourg’s economy since the 1970s.
Henri was educated in France, Switzerland and at Sandhurst military academy in Berkshire.
