It may be a shocking revelation that Kate Middleton, what with her perfect blowouts and parade of pastel coats, is not the best-dressed royal in the world. Nor is it Prince George, despite his expertise at pairing elbow patches with tiny backpacks. Instead, according to vigorous and highly scientific photo research, that honor must officially be bestowed upon Princess Estelle of Sweden, who as of today, is four years old.

In order to prove said hypothesis, here are Princess Estelle's most on-trend, perfectly styled outfits thus far, beginning in chronological order with this avant-garde bonnet she wore during the King's 66th birthday celebration:

There was her christening dress, which she appeared real psyched about:

Here she is modeling a functional headpiece designed for maximum coziness on her mom's 35th birthday:

And here, she's wearing a utilitarian jumpsuit at the Nordic Ski World Championships, which was probably designed by like, Hood By Air or something:

Here, we can safely assume Estelle is ironically appropriating the trope of the baby sailor outfit:

Not to be upstaged by her mom, she even dared to wear white to a wedding (!!):

Here, she debuts a highly on-trend monochrome ensemble:

Even at boring grown-up events, she managed to flash the baby version of Blue Steel:

There was the time she rode a swan in entirely gingham:

And the time she had to watch a different baby wear the same christening dress she wore:

Pretty sure Lana Del Rey wore this exact outfit once:

She wore jeans, a cardigan, and Adidas in the summer of 2014, right at the height of normcore:

There was this baller ski suit (again, 99% chance that it's made by some high streetwear brand):

Which was swiftly upstaged by this coat:

She then perfected the art of the umbrella-cessory:
