Alexandra Shulman’s fashion verdict
ZAC POSEN is an American designer who is in love with the golden days of Hollywood. Hence Eugenie’s gown, which could easily be imagined on Joan Crawford or Bette Davis. But it’s a curious choice for a young woman.
It’s a glorious peachy colour, which Posen attributes to the English Rose, but a pleated bodice of pin-tucked plissé for anybody who has a bosom, as Eugenie does, will never do you any favours.
The corset shape and tiny waist cleverly echoed her wedding dress. I just wish she had exposed more of her lovely skin rather than covered it in a heavy layer of silk.
