Princess Eugenie channels her inner party girl in loudest skirt

King Charles’ niece brought party girl energy as she was spotted at a Philippa 1970 dinner in London hosted by Princess Christian of Hanover

rincess Eugenie has been keeping a relatively low profile after her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was officially stripped of his royal titles and honours on 3 November. However, on 12 November, she got back to the party girl aesthetic that put her style on the map in the early 2000s as she stepped out in London. The 35-year-old royal, whose mother is Sarah Ferguson, 66, made an appearance at a dinner hosted by Alessandra de Osma, Princess Christian of Hanover, for her fashion brand Philippa 1970, which she co-owns with Pablo Galán.

According to Royal Fashion Daily on Instagram, King Charles‘ niece was seen wearing Philippa1970’s ‘Alaia’ skirt, which featured a bold geometric print with a cinched waistline and shin-skimming length. It was paired with a simple slim-fit black long-sleeved top, and she carried a black handbag. For her jewellery, Eugenie added a pop of personality with her mushroom-shaped earrings by Sophie Lis and a pendant necklace. Her hair was swept back away from her face, and her makeup look featured apricot-hued cheeks and a matching lip.

“This look is a standout example of modern eclecticism done with real finesse,” Gabrielle Mai, a global fashion stylist with seven years of experience, tells us. “The ‘Alaïa skirt’ from Philippa 1970 is the undeniable hero piece, its tapestry-inspired motif and deep indigo palette create drama without overwhelming the silhouette, thanks to its beautifully structured A-line cut. Pairing it with a simple fitted black top is a smart, grounding choice that lets the artistry of the skirt take centre stage while keeping the overall silhouette clean and balanced.”

Also in attendance was Lady Marina Windsor, the granddaughter of the Duke and late Duchess of Kent, as well as jewellery designer Theodora Warre and shoe designer Jennifer Chamandi. It comes after, just hours after her father was stripped of his titles over his continued links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she broke cover, stepping out for a casual stroll with her sister Princess Beatrice in Mayfair.
