Princess Alexia of the Netherlands may keep a relatively low public profile, but whenever she steps into the spotlight, she makes her fashion choices count. Her latest appearance offered another example of why the 21-year-old is emerging as the Dutch royal family\u2019s style wild card.<\/p>\n

Alexia joined her parents, King Willem-Alexander and Queen M\u00e1xima, at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort on August 23. While the occasion marked an emotional farewell to the Formula 1 event, the young royal brought an unexpectedly glamorous note to the racetrack in a sleek, all-black ensemble.<\/p>\n

\"Princess\u00a9 Dutch Press\/The Grosby GroupPrincess Alexia embraced her reputation as the Dutch royal family\u2019s fashion wild card in a strapless Alice + Olivia jumpsuit at the Dutch Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The princess wore the Alondra jumpsuit by Alice + Olivia, featuring a strapless neckline, an asymmetric draped bodice and relaxed wide-leg trousers. The contemporary silhouette felt noticeably different from the polished dresses and tailored separates traditionally associated with royal appearances.<\/p>\n

Alexia made the look even more distinctive with S\u00e9zane\u2019s Esm\u00e9e belt, a gold-tone chain design decorated with colorful resin details. Worn low around her waist, the accessory gave the monochromatic jumpsuit a playful, fashion-forward finish.<\/p>\n

\"M\u00e1xima\u00a9 Zuma Press\/The Grosby GroupThe princess elevated her all-black look with a playful gold chain belt by S\u00e9zane and brown Gianvito Rossi boots.<\/p>\n

She completed the ensemble with brown suede knee-high boots by Gianvito Rossi, a Cartier Tank watch and a gold smiley-face necklace by Rosa de la Cruz. The whimsical necklace was a particularly revealing choice, adding a youthful touch to an otherwise sophisticated outfit.<\/p>\n

The royal family\u2019s fashion risk-taker:<\/p>\n

As the second daughter of the king and queen, Alexia occupies a different position from her older sister, Princess Catharina-Amalia, who is heir to the Dutch throne.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Princess\u00a9 Patrick van KatwijkPrincess Alexia is not afraid to experiment with color, texture and modern fashion trends.<\/p>\n

While Alexia remains second in the line of succession, she is not currently preparing for the same future role as Amalia, potentially leaving her with more room to experiment with fashion.<\/p>\n

She has used that space to develop an eclectic wardrobe that moves easily between accessible brands and luxury labels. Zara, Mango, COS and Massimo Dutti sit alongside Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Delvaux and Gianvito Rossi in her closet.<\/p>\n

\"For\u00a9 Patrick van KatwijkFor Prinsjesdag 2025, Alexia embraced dramatic elegance in a cape gown by Solace London, styled with Zara and Casta\u00f1er accessories.<\/p>\n

Her styling is similarly unpredictable. For King\u2019s Day in 2025, Alexia layered a black faux-leather biker jacket from Massimo Dutti over a Bardot-neck top and pleated skirt by Maje. Burgundy Mary Jane heels from S\u00e9zane and a Delvaux clutch borrowed from M\u00e1xima completed one of her edgiest royal looks.<\/p>\n

At the family\u2019s 2026 summer photo session, she changed direction in a sleeveless green Reiss dress styled with a wide Mango obi belt and brown Gianvito Rossi boots. The look was feminine and polished, but the oversized belt gave it the kind of dramatic twist that has become an Alexia signature.<\/p>\n

\"The\u00a9 Patrick van KatwijkThe Dutch princess paired a green Reiss dress with a statement Mango obi belt and Gianvito Rossi boots for the royal family’s 2026 summer photo session.<\/p>\n

Green is another recurring element in her wardrobe. She previously selected a breezy green COS dress for the 2025 summer photo call, pairing the affordable design with Zara espadrilles and a woven IBELIV bag.<\/p>\n

A new generation of royal style:<\/p>\n

Alexia\u2019s appeal lies in that unpredictability. She does not rely on a single uniform or attempt to make every appearance feel traditionally regal. Instead, she experiments with leather jackets, asymmetric shapes, bold belts, playful jewelry and pieces from her mother\u2019s closet.<\/p>\n

\"Alexia\u00a9 Andreas RentzAlexia\u2019s wardrobe combines timeless elegance with bold silhouettes and unexpected accessories.<\/p>\n

Her latest Grand Prix outfit captured that balance perfectly. The black jumpsuit delivered the glamour, the chain belt made it current, the smiley necklace kept it youthful and M\u00e1xima\u2019s bag connected the look to the family\u2019s royal fashion legacy.<\/p>\n

Alexia may appear in public less frequently than some of Europe\u2019s other young royals, but her rare outings are quickly becoming ones to watch. If her latest look is any indication, the Dutch royal family\u2019s fashion wild card is only beginning to define her style.<\/p>\n
