Sarah Ferguson took her heels off at Princess Eugenie’s wedding – and every woman can relate
THE Duchess of York made for a stylish mother-of-the-bride at Princess Eugenie’s wedding yesterday.
Sarah Ferguson, 58, looked chic in a pea-green wrap dress by Emma Louise Design, one of her favourite labels, a vintage Manolo Blahnik bag and nude stilettos as she arrived at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
But it seems the towering heels proved too painful for Fergie as she changed out of them five hours later.
The Duchess was spotted in a pair of nude flats as she waved Eugenie and new son-in-law Jack Brooksbank off from their afternoon reception.
The pair left in an Aston Martin DB10 designed and engineered in the UK and made for the James Bond film Spectre.
“See Fergie has taken her shoes off,” commented one eagle-eyed Twitter fan, while another said: “If you look in the background – Fergie’s got her flat indoor shoes on – I love that.”
As well as her shoe change, Fergie's Jess Collett hat attracted a lot of attention.
This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes joked that it "looked like a venetian blind".
Others piled in, saying: "Why does Fergie have a snitch on her hat?"
Bride Princess Eugenie wowed in a low-backed bespoke gown by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vo.
The Queen's granddaughter, 28, married her boyfriend of eight years Jack, 32, who popped the question against the dramatic backdrop of a sunset volcano in Nicaragua back in January.
Eugenie, who works as an associate director at a London art gallery, wore her childhood surgery scars with pride, in a gown which exposed signs of a spinal op she had at the age of 12.
The princess had major surgery to correct a curvature of her spine, known as scoliosis, and had steel rods inserted into her back.
