In honour of Princess Eugenie's 34th birthday on 23 March, we're taking a look back at her fashion evolution.
Like us ordinary folk, the royal has gone through her own style transformation over the years.
In her twenties, she rocked satin mini dresses with skyscraper heels and statement necklaces, while her go-to for formal occasions was a fitted shift dress with a blazer.
In the lead-up to her royal wedding to long-term love, Jack Brooksbank, in 2018, Eugenie favoured floral designs by Erdem and Whistles, and bold frocks from Vivienne Westwood – who was one of the designers tipped to design her wedding dress.
That honour went to British fashion designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos of British-based label Peter Pilotto, who created a beautiful jacquard-print gown, with an open back so that Eugenie could proudly display her scoliosis scar.
Since becoming a mum to sons August and Ernest, born in 2021 and 2023 respectively, we've seen Eugenie sport couture looks by Fendi for the red carpet and her trusty patterned coats and sports leggings for day-to-day.
Take a look back at Princess Eugenie's style evolution through the years.
2010

2011
© GettyEugenie and Beatrice's outfits for William and Kate's royal wedding divided opinion. Whatever your view, the Princess's blue and green Vivienne Westwood two-piece will always be iconic.
2014

2016

2017

2018

2018
© GettyBride-to-be Eugenie was the epitome of Sixties chic at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding in May 2018. She donned a powder blue shift dress by Gainsbourg and a cream pillbox hat.
2018

2019
© GettyIn recent years, Eugenie has adopted her late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's trick of sticking to a block colour for major events. She looked so elegant in this forest green number and a feathered hat at Royal Ascot.
2022
© GettyOrange isn't the easiest hue to pull off but Eugenie looked absolutely incredible in this bold fit-and-flare dress by Emilia Wickstead for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
2023
