Princess Eugenie was glowing today as she stepped out for the Coronation Big Lunch.
The heavily pregnant princess wore a £2,359 white maxi Gabriela Hearst dress which she posed for selfies with onlookers at Chalfont St Giles village green.
The monochrome dress has puff sleeves and a flowing skirt for a flattering silhouette.

And yesterday, for the Coronation itself, Princess Eugenie also cut a super chic figure, in a sleek navy number.
The mother-of-one, who is expecting her second baby in the next few months, wore a deep blue smock dress – topped with a matching overcoat and headpiece.
The piece was a FENDI creation by Kim Jones custom-made navy silk and satin mid-length dress, finished with a plisse side-panel.
As for jewels, she wore the Albemarle White Gold and Diamond Collar Necklace – which costs £130,000 – and White Gold and Diamond Drop Earrings, which are worth £26,000 from Garrard.
Any mum or mum-to-be out there will no doubt have struggled at some point during pregnancy wondering what on earth you’re going to wear.
Your pre-pregnancy wardrobe can be all kinds of uncomfortable, and yet, you still want to feel stylish and like yourself.
When creating an elegant maternity look, personal stylist, Lindsay Edwards, says there are three fundamental things you should look for.
‘When it comes to choosing maternity outfits, the most important factors to consider are comfort, value and style,’ she tells Metro.co.uk.

‘Just like Princess Eugenie, it’s always worth considering non-maternity clothing which still has ample flexibility with sizing due to a naturally loose fit. This can then be cinched in to fit your shape.
‘This simplistic, classic dress from Gabriela Hearst isn’t maternity wear, but fits Eugenie beautifully.’
Lindsay says that selecting the right type of material is also important when considering pregnancy outfits.
‘Opt for clothing in soft, breathable fabrics with enough stretch to allow for the expansion of your growing bump.’
Princess Eugenie has created the comfort effect by wearing an a-line maxi dress.
In the later stages of pregnancy, there may be other secret accessories that could have helped Eugenie feel comfortable.
A support belt is a tool which can help relieve tension on the lower back while maternity tights can also support the bump and create comfort.
Heels can also be problematic due to pregnancy-related foot swelling and softening of the ligaments, so wearing arch support insoles can help with heel stability and prevent overpronation.
Lindsay Edwards also shares, ‘Although maternity wear has improved a lot in recent years, access to a variety of styles remains limited.’
‘If you struggle to find an outfit that truly represents your style, you can reflect your personality through the clever use of accessories such as jewellery, bags and shoes – the added bonus with these items, of course, is that they’ll always fit!’
‘And, for ultimate value, you want to increase the cost of a garment per wear by choosing items that you can wear frequently throughout your pregnancy and also postpartum.’
