I know this is really unkind but Beatrice and Eugenie looked like the 2 ugly sisters

Wash my mouth out for saying it but their wedding outfits were completely unflattering. Someone should offer them style advice.

No they both looked hideous. Stupid hats, and Eugenie's dress was vile.

SoupDragon · 29/04/2011 16:08

I agree completely. I think they normally look nice. heaven knows what they were thinking when they planned what to wear.

UpJacobsCreek · 29/04/2011 16:08

Eugenie clashed with Anne's dress too.

microfight · 29/04/2011 16:08

Beatrice's dress wasn't so bad but all the rest was just awful on the two girls

TakeItOnTheChins · 29/04/2011 16:09

They've both inherited their awful mother's fashion sense, unfortunately.

Even more unfortunately, along with lack of fashion sense they have also inherited her arrogance and ignorance, which means that a thousand people could tell them that their outfits don't flatter them, but they would still think they were right and everyone else is wrong.

HRHShoesytwoesy · 29/04/2011 16:09

I don't think they are ugly, just seem to have no taste or style

ILoveYouToo · 29/04/2011 16:09

WTF were they thinking with those hats???? Confused

SoupDragon · 29/04/2011 16:09

Eugenie's dress was shockingly bad - bad shape, awful fabric.
Beatrice's hat was just jaw droopingly awful. She looked like a Dr Who monster.

MayBankHoliday · 29/04/2011 16:11

Why does it matter what they looked like?

SoupDragon · 29/04/2011 16:13

Because, generally speaking, if you are going to be seen by billions of people worldwide and have your appearance recorded for all history, you would make an effort to look nice.

PureNewWoolWithPerfectStitches · 29/04/2011 16:15

LOL! I said the same to dh. I never know which one is which but the one with the horns hat had horrendous make up too. It's hard to believe that people with so much advice and money at their disposal can get it SO wrong. They could have looked gorgeous but they looked ridiculous.

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 16:16

I think they are far from ugly, they are both very attractive girls, however they have both inherited their mother's build and need to take care in how to dress. The dresses were frightful and made them look bigger than they are.

The hats are also unspeakable. I don't care if it is by philip Treacy, my daughter could knock up better hats out of fimo and pipe cleaners.

MayBankHoliday · 29/04/2011 16:16

Maybe they're just not too bothered about appearances? Good for them I say :) They seem like down-to-earth nice young women who were there today to support the happy couple, not to take part in a fashion show.

MigratingCoconuts · 29/04/2011 16:17

I would love to know what went through their heads when they first put the outfits on, looked in the mirror and thought, yes! that's the one!

Clary · 29/04/2011 16:17

Can't find a pic online (didn't watch it all as so busy!)

Now I want to see them tho!

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 16:17

though at the poor sods being the fall guys for today's event, general concensus is yes, they look bloody awful, but imagine 'ugly sisters' about you all over the place.

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 16:18

I think they are concerned about appearances though. Princess Anne genuinely couldn't give a monkeys I don't think, wears something she wore to Gatcombe Horse trials in the mid 80s Grin

MarshaBrady · 29/04/2011 16:19

I'm not keen on the fashion of plugging the hat on the forehead. Treacy should have done something prettier for them.

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 29/04/2011 16:20

here they are poor things

MarioandLuigi · 29/04/2011 16:20

They both have great legs though.

breathing · 29/04/2011 16:22

They are only kids still though arent they

PureNewWoolWithPerfectStitches · 29/04/2011 16:23

YY mario. They do have great legs [cenvy]

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 16:24

Yes, fantastic legs.

And they are facially very pretty, I think. They could look wonderful.
