Princess Anne's Fashion & Style, Part 2: September 2010 - April 2012

Sorry, I think she looked like a clown. The hat is just awful and piled on top of her hiar mound. It is a pity, since she got something new, that it just didn't suit her.

[CrownPrincess5]

She did look like a clown.

That was my first thought, as well, CrownPrincess5!! Who would design an outfit for the PR that made her look like a clown.. and couldn't Anne see that she looked ridiculous? It just boggles my mind.

Has anyone seen a full length picture of what she wore to the evening reception? It look like from what little you could see of it inside the car that it didn't look too bad.

I loved her whole wedding outfit!

Picture of Anne at pre wedding dinner please?

[QueenElizabeth]

I did not like Anne's outfit on the wedding, but she was majestic in the evening look on the pre-wedding dinner at the Mandarin.

[Lindy]

One of the fashion critics on TV called her Princess "An"tifashion. LOL

After viewing the purple wedding oufit it looks like Anne still had Easter on her mind.

[CrownPrincess5]

That's what I was thinking!

She looked...I hate to say it....hideous at the wedding. She'd be a good character in a horror movie

[blujean]

While I don't think she belongs in a horror movie CP5 the outfit def. would have been gr8 for the Easter mass last weekend.

After looking at a lot of her outfits, I will say she is fairly consistent in choosing garments many would think odd. Maybe she is anti-fashion, but if she, she is consistently choosing the same types of shoes, hemlines, cuts, and offbeat color combinations. The wedding outfit was calm and well coordinated compared to some of what others wore - or what she sometimes wears.

It did remind me just a bit of the female floral version of camo.

I don't mean she's ugly or like that. She's just so severe! She lacking gusto and she acts like a zombie at times.

I've would've sworn it was recycled or refitted. It just looks so.......1980s! Purple and green are good colors for her, and a good color combination in general. Her hairsytle though made her look frumpy, and she's too old for that style of hat. Someone I know thought Beatrice & Eugenie looked like Cinderella's Ugly Stepsisters and Anne was the Wicked Stepmother. They truely made Catherine look like a Princess.

Her wedding outfit may have been a better choice for Easter only due to the colours, but I don't think it's a bad outfit for a wedding.
The floral coat is pretty and coordinates nicely with the purple dress underneath. The nude toned shoes were a good choice for the brightly coloured outfit.

[MissByrd]

The outfit that she wore to the wedding on Friday was styled like one that Lucille Ball wore back in the 50's.
And, I really would like to know why she wears her hair in that style. It seems like she is making a statement, rather thumbing her nose at us.
In her younger pictures, her hair looks shiny and soft. Can hair really change that much?

[blujean]

The dress and coat are okay. The biggest problem iis the hat. I don' know why they plopped that silly looking hat on top of her big hair. It looks ridiculous!

[Opal]

Well I do agree she would have looked better with a simple wide brimmed hat that would have hid some of her hair which everyone complains about. :rollseyes:

[tea-n-tiaras]

I am sorry, but Princess Anne's outfit was absolutely HORRID. She looks like she is wearing someone's sofa cushions or grandmother's housecoat. And that hat! I think the fashion blog Order of Splendor said it best, "This is Eliza Doolittle, pre-makeover. I'm a little afraid Anne's going to start heckling people in a cockney accent." If she is "anti-fashion" that is a shame because she only lessens the impression others have of her. She certainly has people around her who could help her look more elegant and more befitting a Princess Royal. Her daughter seems to have some fashion sense. Surely Zara didn't look at her mother and say,"Mum, that ensemble really complements you. You look spectacular." How can people with so many resources look so awful?

On a side note..... I have NEVER understood her hair. She does not make the best of her features. Her hair ages her by about 20 years and is too severe.

[udyusa]

Finally someone has written a post that I Totally agree with 100%. Well done, t-n-t! I could not have said it better if I tried... And I have tried!

Welcome to the Forums!

I enjoyed the footage of all the lovely attire that was at the wedding. Remember a lot of fashion is avant garde and garish to get a reaction. Obviously you remember the fashion and designer if you notice it. The most surprizing thing to me were the hats. Frilly, silly, large and wild like at the Kentucky Derby. Funny, HRH prefers a smaller, more refined hat as does Her Majesty. I cannot wait to see what other fine fashions that we will see. The entire event looked very fun and full of precious moments. Most importantly I cannot wait to see what the Duchess chooses as her profession and charities. I would have recommended a hoop for carrying the dress later in the day but it was lovely. It was a much shorter dress, bustle and train than others but it was absolutely right.
