Princess Eugenie is a member of the British royal family.
She’s the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the niece of King Charles III.
As of 2024, the princess also stands 11th in line to the throne.
But it took her time to achieve the level of confidence and style prowess that she has today.
Royal weddings have a particular dress standard, which includes women wearing hats.
However, the princesses wore a smaller headpiece style called a fascinator that completely missed the mark.
“A fascinator makes you more noticeable,” he said.
But they are not as sophisticated.
Amongst the absolute creme de la creme in British society, no one would wear a fascinator."
Unfortunately, her dress was terribly unfashionable and old-fashioned.
She wore a collared white shirt with a matching full skirt featuring a unique and colorful print.
Specifically, the peplum style was quite trendy in the early 2010s.

The dress might have been a cute look for the year had it just featured the peplum.
Like many of her outfits, it was poorly tailored, making the ensemble less modern.
The simple cut of the dress was very classic and flattering but a bit archaic.
The bodice and sleeves also didn’t appear to fit well and could have used more careful tailoring.
Eugenie did, however, accessorize the outfit well.
The slight variations in tone gave the ensemble a well-thought-out appearance without being too matchy.
“She is almost there, but not quite,” Holder said.
Once again, the look is dated and aging," fashion expert Miranda Holder told The Daily Mail.
Along with the hat, the matching blazer didn’t do Eugenie any favors.
“[It] is a very heavy look that completely overpowers the Princess,” said Holder.
However, in many cases, like this one, her choices detract from rather than elevate the look.
The loud purple and green colors made her instantly noticeable, but unfortunately, not in the best way.
The traditional cut of the top looked boxy, even with the white belt cinching her waist.
Another mark against the outfit was that she tied it together with nude pantyhose, of all things.
Seeing the nude tights on Eugenie at a summer event simply made her whole outfit more stuffy and passe.
Although the outfit’s coordination clearly took some thought, it made the princess look dated beyond her years.

Finishing the look with a fitted blazer and sheer pantyhose made it look more formal and less fresh.
Apart from the asymmetrical neckline, the dress featured a traditional style and silhouette.
This matched the traditional feel of the simple nude pumps and slim headpiece.
However, the waistband’s trendy pattern interrupts the classic look in a jarring way.
“This can be a good thing, but in this case it looks a little haphazard.”
“The cap sleeves [are] too severe and unflattering,” she explained.
“The on-the-knee skirt length is also a bit matronly.”
Eugenie’s unique outfit featured a notched boat neckline, fitted waist, and flared skirt.
The mid-knee hem length and high neckline gave the frock a very modest appearance.
This isn’t a bad thing, but it can easily look stuffy or old-fashioned unless carefully styled.
What’s more, the neutral colors of the dress added to the conservative feel.
She also covered her legs with nude pantyhose, which added to the overall outdated appearance.
The upside about this fashion moment is that the neutral tones brightened Eugenie’s skin tone and hair.
Eugenie wore this form-fitting outfit while attending a wedding in Alnwick.
