Princess Eugenie Steps Out in Chicest Outfit Yet at Paris Fashion Week
King Charles’ niece was joined by guests Kate Moss and Rita Ora at the event on Saturday. Princess Eugenie surprised the fashion world this week by making an unexpected appearance in the front row at Christian Dior’s menswear fall/winter 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week. The royal stunned in an all-Fendi ensemble that Hello! Fashion called “her chicest outfit ever,” proving her style is entering a new era of cool-girl elegance.
Eugenie’s Paris Fashion Week outfit certainly turned heads thanks to its mix of classic silhouettes and modern accents that created an ensemble both fashion-forward yet timelessly regal. At the event, Princess Eugenie wore a black Fendi wool jersey dress with a logo buckle belt, which she paired with Fendi First slingback heels and a black tuxedo coat. Eugenie accessorized her outfit with Fendi’s Peekaboo ISeeU handbag as she sported a cat eye and a berry red lip.
Over this chic LBD, Eugenie wore a longline wool coat, casually allowing it to hang off her shoulders in the ultimate nonchalant Parisian styling move. The coat featured contrasting black satin lapels that mimicked the look of a tailored tuxedo jacket while adding a menswear-inspired edge. She completed the monochromatic look with classic black court shoes.
The mix of traditionally feminine silhouettes – the LBD and heels – with borrowed-from-the-boys details like the tuxedo-style coat demonstrates Eugenie’s ability to blend styles in a way that feels modern, relevant, and undeniably royal-worthy. Princess Eugenie was joined at the weekend show by guests Kate Moss, Rita Ora, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams.
That this surprise front row appearance was for Dior Homme, the menswear arm of storied French fashion house Christian Dior, feels significant as well. The Maison has a special history with the British royal family, having been worn by style icons like Princess Diana and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Eugenie herself even has her own relationship with the brand, having attended a Dior book launch in London previously.
The princess sitting front row at this show proves her passion for fashion extends into the realm of menswear as well. It also shows her support for Dior Homme’s creative director Kim Jones, who shares the top job at Fendi – the designer label behind Eugenie’s showstopping look.
With her impeccably tailored ensemble, Eugenie demonstrated to the fashion elite her innate understanding of how to take a brand’s aesthetic and make it her own. Combine this sartorial prowess with her already packed schedule of philanthropic engagements, and it’s clear Princess Eugenie has stepped fully into her moment as an inspirational modern royal.
