You'd Never Guess What Eugenie's Daring Wedding Gown Shares With the Mother's

It's been over 32 years since Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson (or Fergie, as she is popularly known) walked down the aisle, but Fergie's dress - made with ivory duchesse satin and featuring heavy beading - is still considered iconic '80s fashion. No one expected Prince Andrew's fiancée to stun on her big day, as fashion experts consistently criticized Fergie's figure and supposed lack of style, but then-unknown London designer Lindka Cierach created a gown that was unanimously considered a triumph, and just two hours after the bride appeared, replicas of the dress could be found in shop windows throughout London.

While Fergie's flamboyant dress was very indicative of the time, the stunning dress her daughter Eugenie chose to wear for her big day was a bit more understated. Unlike her mother, Eugenie chose to eschew the traditional veil, and her dress featured a daring low back that no other royal bride has ever pulled off before. While working with designer Peter Pilotto, Princess Eugenie specifically requested an open back in order to show off the scars she was left with after going through corrective back surgery as a child.

The two royal gowns do share a number of similarities, however. Both dresses have meaningful symbolism embroidered in their gowns, as Fergie chose to include her family coat of arms, as well as anchors and waves to represent Andrew's sailing background, and Eugenie's dress featured a garland pattern laced with special meaning. Both mother and daughter also had long, gorgeous trains, with Fergie's even including a letter 'A' for her new husband. Check out the gallery to see a side-by-side comparison of the two equally head-turning gowns.

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...
