While she has carved out a space all her own, not all her ensembles hit the mark.

These are the most inappropriate outfits worn by Sarah Ferguson.

The gown the duchess chose was a rich blue hue and featured a full-bodied skirt.

Sarah Ferguson speaking at event

We think she looks fire, but we’re not royalty.

Eugenie looked absolutely gorgeous in a full-bodied ball gown, and Princess Beatrice looked lovely in blue.

First and foremost, Fergie’s hat was the center of a lot of conversation.

Can you think of a time when they showed their knees, period?

We love a daredevil.

And while we think she looked stunning, the royal rules broken were obvious.

One, black is reserved for funerals, and two, strapless gowns are a no-no.

Still, Diana charged ahead and wore her gown despite receiving flack from her soon-to-be husband.

When it comes to strapless gowns, the royals have to follow a number of protocols.

With that said, it appears as if Sarah Ferguson took a play from her sister-in-law’s book.

She paired the look with white full-length gloves, sparkling jewels, and a fun updo.

We love a royal rule-breaker.

Not as encouraged as you might think.

It was functional and served a purpose, but never spoke over her own role and message.

Other royals, like Sarah Ferguson and Princess Diana, certainly let their wardrobe speak for them.

She paired the look with black opera gloves, bold jewelry, and a fun beehive-inspired hairdo.

The look was certainly inappropriate by royal standards.

She showed knee, shoulder, curves, you name it but we think she looked great.

She has often been spotted cycling on royal grounds, keeping fit and enjoying the outdoors.

Her love for biking was even commented on by bike experts Leisure Lakes Bikes, who toldHello!

Magazinethat Fergie looked 100% the part.

We think that she should’ve stuck with the spandex and rocked that event like the athlete she is.

If anyone truly embodied this decade when it came to their style, it was Sarah Ferguson.

Fergie threw these expectations to the side with this look, and her grin says it all.

Have you ever noticed that the late Queen Elizabeth II was almost always in soft, cotton-like clothing?

Even Princess Catherine sticks to cottons, wools, and natural fibers, as does Prince William.

The look was definitely inappropriate by royal standards, but we love that she kicked expectations to the curb.

“Disrobing in public is perceived as distasteful according to royal protocol.”

Such a rule seems entirely bonkers, and Fergie didn’t seem to mind breaking it.

Inappropriate by royal standards?

Definitely, but we’re so here for it.

When it comes to anything sheer or remotely see-through, royals simply cannot play.

And if they do, they can expect some serious heat.

Take Meghan Markle, for example, who wore a beautiful Givenchy skirt and a matching top in 2018.

The black ensemble featured a corset-like top with see-through paneling covering her decolletage.

While a bit inappropriate and definitely a look that raised some eyebrows, Fergie looked chic and confident.

Before we break it down, let’s recap.

Pretty much anything see-through or sheer in any capacity is off the table, and leather is a no-go.

Stockings should be worn on most if not all occasions, and modesty is the best policy.
