Princess Eugenie Pulled Off a Fashion Move That No Other Royal Bride's Ever Done Before

On Oct. 12, Princess Eugenie stunned everyone when she walked down the aisle in a stunning gown created by British designer Peter Pilotto. While the full skirt, the beautiful embroideries, the incredibly long train, and the lack of veil might have been the first things that you noticed, there is one detail that is sure to go down in history: her back.

When working with her chosen designer, Princess Eugenie specifically requested an open back in order to display the scars she was left with after going through corrective surgery at the age of 12. The bride explained in a pre-wedding interview that she "had an operation on my back when I was 12 and you'll see on Friday, but it's a lovely way of honoring the people who looked after me. It's a way of standing up for young people who also go through this."

On top of having a special meaning to Eugenie, this choice also meant that she became the very first British royal to wear a backless gown on her wedding day. Over the years, royal brides have stuck to traditional dresses featuring a lot of lace and very little skin, including Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, who both wore long-sleeved gowns.

Read on to get a closer look at Eugenie's wedding dress details, and then take a closer look at the beautiful tiara she wore on her big day, along with the Charlotte Olympia heels.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
