Beatrice's outfit makes her look huge, and it seems really disjointed again. She just looks like she's trying too hard. Any one of the pieces by themselves would have been great, but together they are odd.

In general, I liked both of their outfits for Day One although wasn't the biggest fan of Eugenie's hat. I like Beatrice's outfit today, the colours were nice and summery. Not a huge fan of Eugenie's outfit however. She looks a little underdressed for the event due to the coat as IMO it looks like a coat one might wear on a casual walk in the countryside.

The jacket makes Beatrice look a mess. Eugenie..I have no explanation for what she's wearing. It looks like she was wearing the white dress she work a few days back. Then she decided she wanted to go to Ascot and through the trench jacket over it.

Another disaster for both girls. Is there no hope?

I agree about Eugenie's coat. It just doesn't seem to go with the rest of the outfit. She's trying, though.
I like Beatrice's outfit today. I have a feeling that one of the panels on the hat matches the orange/tangerine of the skirt and as the shoes match the jacket I think the combination works well and looks good on her. I like the bright and summery feel of it.

Really liked Beatrice. Posters on here can be odd. Criticising some royals for being boring, not edgy enough. Then a young 25 year old experiments and its classified as a mess or disaster. I do like it, and I really like the hat.
I am more bothered by Eugenie. Blah beige wrap round coats tightly belted. What isshe hiding? Cos thats what itl looks like. The weather is glorious so she cant be cold. I have imagined a tattoo shes hiding from Granny lol.
But I really liked her hair up earlier this week

I did not like any of the outfits on both days on both Princesses.
I disliked most Beatrice's bracelet paired with a lace dress, her shoes paired again with the lace dress on day 1, her tangerine hat on day 2, and Eugenie's trench coats on both days. Anyway, though being cute and never dressing in a scandalous way, I can't see any hope that one day they will ever be consistent fashion wise (not really a problem) or elegant wise.

Have to agree about Eugenie's coat. Not sure quite what she was trying to achieve there, however her hat and shoes were a delight.

. . . . . I have to agree with the attitude on this thread. Some posters put Cruella to shame. I am sure it is a pure kneejerk reaction. Beatrice? Eugenie? Trash talk!

I actually liked Beatrice's outfit today. Love the orange on her...And the jacket was very cute, though it would have looked a little more pulled together if she had zipped the sleeves. However, it didn't look very Royal Ascot-y.

Oh gee my first thought was she had a bannana on her head then I thought it looked like orange peel it isn't a flattering hat or outfit. Eugenie looks like some sort of spy both girls really need to either getting advice about what they wear or just go for more classical looks. Many women can't get away with wearing orange and Beatrice is one of them it's too jarring on her it clashes with her hair and pale skin. Is Ascot really the place to experiment? By now she should have a good idea what suits her and what doesn't and stop giving the excuse she is only 25 that is more then old enough to know your own style. She isn't 18 or 19 she has more access to fashion then most girls her age and the money. They are reminding me more of their mother she wore some real shockers at Ascot in her day. Doesn't she advise them?

While I applaud Beatrice for experimenting, I just don't think this outfit works. The color and style of the skirt is gorgeous and the shoes are cute, but the top half throws the outfit off. I also dislike the hat.
Eugene's entire outfit is a miss. I'm not sure why she keeps wearing these ill-fitting coats and jackets.

Beatrice looks so much like one of my cousins. That cousin is such a great girl/young woman. Maybe it is for that reason that I have a soft spot for Beatrice. She has such a sweet face. I liked the skirt but the combination of the jacket and skirt is rather odd. Eugenie well this is not nice and does not do any favor to her body type.

Some women don't find their style til much later in their 30's it depends on the woman. I think these young women are trying and having fun with fashion. Fashion should be fun your only young once so you get it wrong at least you tried something different.

It may be that Beatrice has found her style, and that it's in the Vivienne Westwood section of the fashion spectrum. I like her sometimes quirky approach. I prefer quirky to boring.
Eugenie? I have no idea.
