I find that her formal evening wear is more on trend. I think she feels freer to express herself at these evening functions as they are usually more private and there will be less press photography and hence less potential critical comments from the press and public.

Realistically, she is involved with a member of one of the most conservative families of the British aristocracy and she naturally feels pressure to conform( whether that pressure is emanating from the courtiers or from herself). I think most of us would do likewise in the same circumstances.
