Royal blue! Princess Elisabeth of Belgium looks perfect in vibrant dress as she attends Christmas reception with her family
Princess Elisabeth of Belgium was effortlessly stylish in an azure dress as she joined her siblings and parents for a Christmas reception at the Royal Palace in Brussels.
The young royal, 22, posed for photos with King Philippe, 63, Queen Mathilde, 50, Prince Emmanuel, 18, and Princess Eleonore, 15, as the family got into the festive spirit.
The palace welcomed around a hundred volunteers, staff and people supported by organizations the King and Queen have been involved with over the years for the event.
It replaces the annual Christmas concert, which cannot take place this year due to renovations to the hall.
The royal family took a group photo with the guests, and in other sweet snapshots of the family they can be seen near a decorative Christmas tree – and later among the red seasonal flowers.

Elisabeth was elegant as ever in a cobalt blue dress with a turtleneck and some simple black boots.
She kept her makeup festive and fun with a smokey eye, and wore her loose waves down for the occasion.
Meanwhile, her mother, Mathilde, lit up the room in a glitzy gold coat embroidered with floral motifs.
She buttoned it up over a pair of chic black culottes and stiletto heels, styling her blonde locks back.
Her youngest daughter Eleonore showed she was following her family's fashion sensibilities with trendy red pants and a black sequin top.
She used her sister's glitzy eye makeup and kept her blonde locks styled in loose waves.
Elsewhere, Philippe opted for a navy suit with a colorful paisley print tie, matching his son Emmanuel's simple yet formal look.
The royals also have a second son – Gabriel, 20 – who is currently enrolled at the Royal Military Academy of Belgium, and did not appear to be present at the event.

It comes as Philippe and Mathilde recently enjoyed a Christmas market together.
The happy couple visited the festive stalls of Dresden's Frauenkirche earlier this month, where they soaked up the lively Christmas atmosphere.
The pair were accompanied for the fun trip by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer. The group was photographed enjoying a festive drink together.
Mathilde seemed cheerful as she held up her teacup with a broad smile on her face.

Mathilde combined the brightly colored dress with a matching hat in a similarly bright shade.
She dressed for the cold weather, adding a caramel-colored cape with a fur lining and a pair of practical leather gloves.
Meanwhile, King Philip looked dapper in a warm black overcoat, which he paired with a gold-patterned scarf.
The area is known for its spectacular Christmas markets, where cheerful visitors can expect an array of stalls selling pottery, glass ornaments and Vogtland lace, according to the market's website.
