Well, she's trying! 
I like the black evening outfit very much. It looks early 50s to me. I like the hairstyle. I think it suits her to have her hair back off her face and it suits the dress very well. I like the shoes, too. I think the are appropriate for the era the look is based on, and I think the wide straps are in good proportion to the dress, and they look comfortable. All in all a very good effort.
Unfortunately the beige outfit makes her look like a mushroom, I think, but again she's trying and maybe it will look better in other photos.

And I thought Eugenie's hat for trooping the colour was lovely - especially viewed from the side. Her dress was flattering IMHO. But that's the thing about taste - it's all just our opinions. No one can ever be "right" or "wrong."

Princess Eugenie's hat was almost identical to one worn by Diana in Australia in the 80s. Diana's was burgundy with a white stripe and at the time was considered quite chic.

Like someone said, she looks like a mushroom. What the heck?
Someone mentioned a similar hat Diana had. I dislike that one too. Looked like a mushroom.

The colour does nothing for her it's very meh. That hat does make her look like a mushroom it's all too bland and the dress doesn't fit her well at all. Another miss for me. And Beatrice wasn't there? that is unusual we normally see her at these events.

 Well this outfit isn't all bad. She is trying, don't like the neckline then I never like necklines like that on anybody, the color is okay with her dark hair, and the hat...........omg, it is ugly. All the comments about a chinese wok, yes it sure does look that way.

No like. It looks bunched up around the waist and why is she wearing a coat dress?

The only thing I like about this look is the color. It suits Beatrice. Otherwise, not very flattering.

The fit is off on the coat, and so it doesn't look special.

All my life I've seen people that could put on a potato sack and it looks totally wonderful on them and there's other people that make it look like well.. a potato sack. I'm one of the latter. I think I could have a dresser and spend thousands on outfits and still not have the panache to carry it off.
Although I do think the York girls do try and think about what they're wearing, I don't think that their outfits and makeup and their figures and whatnot are their top priorities in life.
What I admire more about Beatrice and her sense of wardrobe is how she handled "that hat" fiasco. You got a lemon, you make lemonade with it.
