Wardrobe Malfunctions At Royal Weddings

While some may worry about the possibility of rain occurring during an October wedding, Princess Eugenie and guests found themselves fighting off serious winds on her big day. The princess was married on October 12, 2018, which was right in the middle of Storm Callum's sweep over the UK. Wind gusts as high as 86 mph reached parts of Wales, while heavy rains caused flooding on the coasts. Luckily, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's nuptials weren't affected by any rain, but the high winds stemmed over into the outskirts of London — right where the wedding was taking place at Windsor Castle.
The winds caused quite a few wardrobe malfunctions for guests entering the chapel. English model and singer Pixie Geldof, for example, had to hold on tightly to her yellow fascinator as her pink frock blew about. Demi Moore, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks all had similar issues and were photographed clutching their fascinators while holding their dresses in place.
However, it wasn't only the celebrity guests who found themselves grappling with the elements. Catherine, Princess of Wales, was also spotted having what looked to be a very Marilyn Monroe-esque moment as the winds whisked up her skirt. Quick to avoid any potential exposure, Catherine held her skirt down. Now, we do know that Catherine makes a point of having weights sewn into the hems of her dresses and skirts to keep garments from flying up. Perhaps she needed heavier weights on this particularly blustery day.
