- Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's engagement shoot looked different from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's.
- The Princess of York went for a bright, floral Erdem gown that cost $5,175.
- Meanwhile, Meghan Markle wore a dark green PAROSH dress that cost $531.50 (€434 Euros).
- Princess Eugenie's dress was also different from Kate Middleton's engagement announcement dress.
On Monday morning, Princess Eugenie announced her engagement to Jack Brooksbank — and her dress was eye-catching.
Although Meghan Markle has made headlines for reportedly breaking royal protocol with her outfit choices, Princess Eugenie's outfit for her engagement announcement photos seems to be quite untraditional.
While Kate Middleton and Markle both wore dark dresses to announce their royal engagements, Princess Eugenie went for a distinct, colorful look.
The Princess of York, who famously wore an extravagant hat to Prince William and Middleton's wedding, went with a $5,175 floral Erdem cocktail dress to officially announce her engagement. She previously wore the dress for a 2016 interview with Harper's Bazaar.
Princess Eugenie finished off her look with a pair of statement Jimmy Choo heels, tightly curled hair, and her pink sapphire engagement ring, which matched the details on her dress.
And while the Princess looked polished, her colorful, fit-and-flare dress was different from what Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton wore for their engagement announcement pictures.
In November 2017, Meghan Markle wore an understated ensemble to announce her engagement to Prince Harry.
While Princess Eugenie wore a dress from Erdem, a popular designer among the royal family, Markle opted for subtle pieces from under-the-radar designers.
The former "Suits" star wore a now-iconic wrap coat from a small Canadian designer called LINE and a $531.50 (€434 Euros) green shift dress from the Italian designer PAROSH. She topped off her outfit with a pair of understated yet trendy beige, lace-up heels.
Although this outfit reportedly broke royal protocol because Markle seemingly didn't wear nude stockings, it was pretty similar to what Middleton wore to announce her engagement to Prince William in November 2010.
Middleton went with a dark, gemstone-hued dress from a little-known designer called Issa and simple black pumps. At the time, Middleton's sapphire dress cost $620, according to E! online. Like Princess Eugenie, Middleton seemed to match her dress to her engagement ring.
When lined up side-by-side, each woman's outfit shows how she subtly reconciles her individual personality with royal traditions.
Although it's not a dark wrap dress, Princess Eugenie's dress is sure to be an instant classic, too.
