Rebel princesses. What did the wedding dresses of royals who challenged traditions look like?

Since the days of Queen Victoria of England, it has been customary to wear a white wedding dress, but progressive rebels like Princess Charlene of Monaco and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom have decided to go with the times. Rumor has it that there are certain rules and regulations that royals must adhere to before agreeing on a wedding dress design.

They include white color, conservative neckline, long sleeves that cover the shoulders. However, the royal brides were ready to challenge traditions, writes HELLO.

Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie not only ditched the traditional veil to show off her scar during her wedding ceremony to Jack Brooksbank, but she also wore a second wedding dress by American designer Zac Posen, unusual for monarchs.

The pink shade was inspired by the beauty of Windsor Castle and the blush of an English rose. Inspired by Grace Kelly's beautiful dress in the 1955 film To Catch a Thief, Sarah Ferguson's daughter wore a light dress with a structured bodice and cape, as well as modest long sleeves.

Princess Stephanie of Monaco

Princess Stephanie, daughter of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III of Monaco, married her ex-husband Daniel Ducre in 1995 in a rebellious short dress. Stephanie, who already had two children with Daniel, chose a lace mini-dress with a neckline and sheer sleeves for the ceremony. She wore minimal accessories, refusing to wear a veil or tiara.

Marina Ogilvy

Marina Ogilvie, daughter of the English Princess Alexandra of Kent, announced her pregnancy in 1989 and the following year had an unusual wedding with photographer Paul Mowatt. At the time, the 23-year-old wore a black velvet dress that covered her 5-month-old baby bump. She paired the midi dress with a red bolero jacket decorated with gold bells, a wide-brimmed hat, transparent tights, and black shoes.

Princess Anne

After choosing a traditional wedding dress for her first marriage to Captain Mark Phillips, Princess Anne deliberately wore a more modern outfit when she married her second husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, in 1992.

The royal princess fled to Scotland, where the church did not object to the remarriage of divorced people. The found photos show that she chose an ivory knee-length dress with a matching coat and black shoes.

Queen Camila

When Queen Camilla married King Charles in 2005, she wanted to make sure her wedding dress was a reflection of the fact that they were both divorced. For her civil ceremony at Windsor Town Hall, Camilla wore a white gown and then changed into a blue silk gown by Robinson Valentine, hand-embroidered with gold threads, for her religious blessing.

Princess Charlene

Princess Charlene of Monaco married Prince Albert II on July 1, 2011, and a religious ceremony took place the next day. In total, she showed off three outfits during the three-day celebrations, but it was her first wedding appearance in a chiffon set by Karl Lagerfeld that caught everyone's attention. Abandoning the classic white color worn by most brides, the former Olympic swimmer impressed with an aquamarine ensemble, including a strapless top, wide leg pants and a jacket with matching lace trim.

Princess Beatrice

On her wedding day, Princess Beatrice appeared in her grandmother Elizabeth II's dress. With the help of the late queen's trusted dressmakers, she made a few changes to give the dress a new lease on life when she married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, including adding puff sleeves. But the shorter length and the fact that it had no individualized hidden meanings were a departure from tradition.
