Through it all, they have one another to lean on.
This is a part of British royal family tradition that can be traced back to the 1950s.
“There has to be a hat, it’s part of the social fabric.”
And this is a rule that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice take to heart.
Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re opposed to other styles of headpiece.
That said, the princesses' dresses did have one thing in common: they were absolutely stunning.
For her nuptials, Princess Beatrice leaned into family tradition.
She borrowed her dress from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The classic dress featured silver detailing, puffy cap sleeves, and a full skirt.
Needless to say, it was a wedding dress fit for a princess.
Princess Eugenie’s wedding dress, on the other hand, was not an heirloom piece.
Rather, it was designed for the royal by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos.
Unlike the off-white frock worn by her older sister, Eugenie’s gown was a crisp white.
It featured a unique bodice with the sleeves folding down and forming a V-neck.
On the second day of the races, Princess Beatrice opted for an elegant floral midi dress by Zimmerman.
The style features full-length puff sleeves and a bedazzled sash around the waist.
She finished the highly feminine and delicate look with a pink floral fascinator affixed to loose curls.
In comparison, Princess Eugenie’s pink ensemble was much less fussy.
She sported a short-sleeved midi dress with a simple collar and button-down bodice.
The ribbed fabric added texture to the look without any extra frills or embellishments.
She finished the chic ensemble with a matching pink hat and tassel for a polished and festive appearance.
More recently, at the 2024 Royal Ascot, Beatrice displayed her love for floral prints again.
On the contrary, Eugenie often dazzles when she wears chic, comfortable, and understated styles.
TheAmor Knit Dress by Gabriela Hearstretails at $1,550.
Eugenie wore the light gray version, though the design comes in several colors.
Despite the neutral color, the ribbed pattern and soft fabric keep the dress from seeming basic.
Instead, it perfectly strikes the balance between timeless and modern.
The cashmere silk fabric also fit her perfectly, so it looks like it was made for her.
And the simplicity of the knit, collared dress allowed her to appear both polished and casual.
She also kept her makeup and hair fairly subdued, with her brunette waves kept down around her shoulders.
For example, she wore a white maternity dress with puff sleeves and black dots to Wimbledon in 2021.
We hope to see much more of this playful aesthetic, which Beatrice executes so well.
Her dotted frocks make a statement while feeling youthful and energized.
Perhaps that’s why we love seeing them on Beatrice.
She looked particularly elegant wearing an olive green dress as a wedding guest in 2024.
The understated but luxurious look was ideal for the occasion.
She accessorized with a handheld gold clutch, delicate gold necklace, gold rings, and a netted hat.
The classic style was perfect for the summer wedding, as she looked flawless without distracting from the bride.
These sophisticated dresses are surefire sartorial wins.
What’s more, Eugenie isn’t exactly the biggest fan of stomping around in heels all day.
“I wear a dress and boots to work.
I’ve started wearing high heels, which is so grown-up.
Back in 2009, Eugenie arrived at meet and greet with Chelsea F.C.
The garment was hard to miss in a good way thanks to the vibrant red hue of the material.
The fit and flare style was perfectly fitted to her bodice, with mid-length sleeves and a v-neck.
The dress cinched her nicely at the waist before coming down into a full-pleated skirt.
She finished the tailored look with a small handbag and matching hat with red flower details.
That said, they haven’t let that get in the way of taking style risks.
Both royals have worn unique and daring looks that have caught the attention of the public and the tabloids.
Some of those risks have paid off, while others have led to public backlash.
Fortunately, the sisters have each other to lean on when handling the tough feedback for their style.
“We’re each other’s rocks,” Princess Eugenie said to British Vogue.
“There was a horrible article that had been written about Beatrice and she got really upset.
We were just about to step out and she had a bit of a wobble and cried.
I was looking after her.
This sisterly bond sure deserves a tip of the fascinator.
