Princess Eugenie of York made quite a fashion statement on her wedding day as she wore a backless dress that had revealed a long-forgotten triumph held by the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The ninth in line to the British throne wore a dress by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, co-founders of the brand Peter Pilotto, for her marriage to Jack Brooksbank reported USA Today .
The princess specifically asked for a low back on her gown, which would show off a scar from her childhood battle with scoliosis.
She noted her decision to show off her scar during an interview with ITV .
“I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars,” she remarked. “I think it’s really special to stand up for that.”
The princess’ dress also included meaningful symbolism: a Thistle for Scotland as Eugenie and her groom share a love for Balmoral; a Shamrock for Ireland, which represents Eugenie’s maternal side of the family; the York Rose; and ivy, which alludes to the pair’s dwelling.
Instead of the traditional veil, Eugenie donned a sparkling Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara. The gorgeous statement headpiece was loaned to her by her grandmother, the queen.
Princess Eugenie worked hand-in-hand with the designers to create her stunning wedding day look, noted a press release from the royal family.
