FaithManor Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well, my take on this is that they are two party girls determined to remain single. This just had to be an attempt at keeping serious pursuers at bay and I would have to conclude that it might work. The other thing it could be is that they are two very damaged little girls inside womansize bodies who are so desperate for attention having spent their childhood dealing with a ridiculous situation, in the shadow of Harry and William, too many eyes on them and not enough attention from the right people - Fergie does not appear to have been the kind of mother that Diana was - and just generally unhappy. If one cannot get attention in a positive manner, one will get it in a negative manner and this worked. There will be more photograph and talk about them for their gaudy attire than there ever would have been if they'd shown up beautiful and appropriate. Maybe it is a combo of the two.

Jenny in Florida Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 That hat is awful!! She desperately needs to hire a stylist. I promise I'm not trying to be either dense or snarky, but I have to ask, "Why?" She clearly thought the hat was fun or attractive or appealing. It's not my style, but I don't think a hat is actually terribly important. Why would something like this be important enough to merit spending money hiring someone to tell her how to dress?

Check out the one she wore to her cousin's (?) wedding: :lol: She looks like she's being attacked! I think they're not any different than young American celebrities who do/wear this kind of thing. The hats and makeup are hideous, but so what? I agree with whoever said above that they're party girls, and they're probably grateful not to have the kind of scrutiny on them that William and Harry do. They can just be rich and ridiculous. (I admit, though, that every time I see a picture of Eugenie, the mom in me has to fight the urge to say, "Stand up straight already!")

Abigail4476 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well, first of all, my girls thought that the pinkish hat was cool--although I can't figure out why. It's definitely horrendous! :glare: However, my thought was that they probably inherited Fergie's bratty sense of humor and wore obnoxious hats on purpose (like the butterfly hat linked a few posts back). I really don't think it's that serious of a matter, or that we can garner a good psycho-analysis based on the ridiculous hats. You'd have to sweep half of London into your *bad childhood/attention-grabbing* dust bin. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 She said at least the princesses wore hats whereas Beckham's hat looked like a unicorn horn. Anyway,aren't hats worn for such events meant to be fashion statements rather than practical? Though I think I'd have worn a hat with a brim wide enough so that no one would know I was faking singing or how bored I might have been.

RanchGirl Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I didn't think their hats were that bad. British hats are pretty crazy in general.

And they seemed to act respectful, despite their mother being snubbed, so what's the big deal? :iagree: While the hats (and maybe the makeup) were a bit wacky and perhaps a bit unusual for a royal wedding, I think it's reading too much into their choice of attire to say they are acting out or have an ulterior motive. And, speaking of hats, my teen (who collects and wears vintage hats) and I had so much fun looking at all the gorgeous (and even those that were not, in our opinion ;)) hats this morning. I say hats off to milliners! :001_smile: I'm wondering if millinery will be making more of a comeback after this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
