Eugenie's evening dress was incredible!

I've never seen a more beautiful dress - I'm completely in love with it. It looks like a 40's film stars! The colour, the tiny v waist, the voluminous pleats - you never see dresses so generously made.

Oh wow, she really rocks that look!

lottiegarbanzo · 14/10/2018 09:36

Superhero chic!

IcedPurple · 14/10/2018 09:38

It's a gorgeous dress but too tight on the boobs and the colour is a bit drab. However, I'm guessing it's the type of colour which looks a bit washed out in photos but is probably beautiful in 'real life'.

PrimalLass · 14/10/2018 09:38

It looks like her boobs have leaked though. Why on Earth didn't they photoshop that out?

Growingboys · 14/10/2018 09:38

I thought the bust area looked weird

lottiegarbanzo · 14/10/2018 09:39

Actually, the combination of a princess in a superhero cape would completely wow small dd.

Emperors New clothes, what a shame. Even the tiny headline pic.makes it look as if there are huge sweat marks under her breasts. Blown up and that is still what it looks like, it pushes them towards her stomach, dress is a nasty pinky-beige, sleeves too long again and those lovely shoulders are suddenly huge. But she can't see it so is still happy, thankfully.

I hope it is just a terrible photo and it looked fine in real life - but photographer has made her a joke, even if the dress designer hasnt. Get the lightbulb changed in the dressing.room, Eugenie!

I thought the same, absolutely beautiful, so stunning. That's a dress that'll go down in history. So elegant.

GloriousGoosebumps · 14/10/2018 09:51

Her wedding dress was beautiful, particularly the back, but the bust on this dress just looks wrong because her breasts are so prominent, however the colour is very glamourous. I do love the fact that she is absolutely beaming in all her photographs.

MaggieMcGill · 14/10/2018 09:54

fluffy doesn't make it right though! 3 dresses costing three quarters of a million pounds! That's mental! They'll never even be worn again Smile

Methe · 14/10/2018 09:54

I’d like to see a different photo of it I bet it doesn’t look like that normally - I can’t see that anyone close to her would have let her wear it.

It’s probably just the photographer being an arsehole.

user1499173618 · 14/10/2018 09:56

It’s beautiful and unusual and super sexy without showing lots of flesh.

TomHardysNextWife · 14/10/2018 10:03

It was a beautiful dress - in fact both dresses were.

She looked so happy.

Chickoletta · 14/10/2018 10:05

Beautiful gown. In that photo she looks likes her boobs have drooped into her gravy at dinner though. Not that I'm speaking from experience....

LaDaronne · 14/10/2018 10:18

Presumably the photo was released with her consent though.

VickieCherry · 14/10/2018 10:25

Beautiful dress, amazing cut - I liked her wedding dress but she should have worn this instead. Her boobs look fantastic, you can tell it's just shadows in the photo. Boobs do not have to be round globes propped up to the chin - they're sitting in a perfectly normal place on her body and the dress fits her perfectly.

Those complaining about her spending money - she's something like 9th in line to the throne and was born into a family who are wealthy beyond most people's wildest dreams. Why wouldn't she spend a fortune on her wedding day? There are plenty of insanely rich members of the aristocracy who spend the same without anyone knowing. Absolutely not a royalist, just amused that people think this is unusual in her world!

Trouble is, often what you see in the mirror isn't what you see in photos.

So unless someone took a picture when she was trying it on at the fittings no-one would realise that it wasn't that flattering over the bust.

On the whole though, she looked wonderful. Not entirely sure about the photography for the official photos, but I'm not a professional so that's just a 'What do I know?' opinion.

artemisdubois · 14/10/2018 10:33

Stunning dress, but I don't think it looks quite as wonderful on her as her wedding dress, which was perfection.

As for the cost of it and the wedding in general, my opinion is that if we have a monarchy, we have to properly fund their protection at big public events. Personally I'd get rid of the lot of them, but since most people apparently don't want that, put up with the cost.

As far as Eugenie's 'importance' as a royal, she's 9th in the line of succession (Harry is 6th, so not really much more important) and a granddaughter of the Queen. She's right up there and deserves a big wedding as much as any of the others. She's a bloody Princess!

EnidButton · 14/10/2018 10:34

I follow Zak Posen on Instagram and he is the designer

Ah! That'll be why I love it. His gowns are incredible.

I think the bust thing is the material reflecting the flash and creating a shadow underneath. It's just the photo. Although it's not that bad anyway. It's a bloody amazing dress and fits her perfectly.

Haahhpy · 14/10/2018 10:36

She looked incredible, fantastic choice of dresses.

GemmeFatale · 14/10/2018 10:40

I love it. Wish I could find a photo of the back.

specialsubject · 14/10/2018 10:42

we all have bad photos from our wedding day. Those are the ones you don't put in the album and certainly don't put on line.

Even if the dress looks better in real life (hope so!) the boobs-in-the-gravy thing absolutely shouts out - she's paid a fortune for the dress and the photographer and has been really ripped off. Why can't people see it? Why didn't anyone say 'not that photo, love - look...'

Proofer · 14/10/2018 10:43

I don't understand why people keep saying her boobs look odd, it's clearly just shadow, has no one heard of it?

amymel2016 · 14/10/2018 10:44

I love it, she looks absolutely stunning
