Princess Eugenie Wears Bold Skirt with Geometric Print to Royal Dinner—and Anyone Can Copy Her Party Look

In the wake of her father’s official exit from royal life, Princess Eugenie (and her sister, Princess Beatrice) haven’t exactly been out and about. But this week, Eugenie was pictured making a rare appearance out in London to attend a dinner hosted by Alessandra de Osma, Princess Christian of Hanover—and she was dressed to impress. Her style recipe? A bold skirt (similar here, $160) paired with a neutral top. Here’s why it may turn out to be the easiest way to feel pretty and put together this holiday season.

For one thing, a bold skirt—like the style worn by Eugenie—is a showstopper. (Swipe to slide 5 above to see Eugenie’s look.) It’s not exactly the same as a one-and-done dress, but an A-line skirt with an eye-catching pattern does take the guesswork out of figuring out what to wear. In other words, you don’t need to add much else to your look before you walk out the door. In the case of Eugenie, she styled hers rather simply with a black long-sleeve shirt and a pendant necklace—that’s it!
