Hey, quick question: what, exactly, does a person wear to their famous ex-boyfriend’s wedding? One that is televised across the world? And one in which you, as someone who once dated this very famous person, will be under a decent amount of scrutiny?
What very well may be a worst nightmare for some was a reality for two of Prince Harry’s most notable ex-girlfriends — Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas — both of whom made an appearance at his wedding to Meghan Markle.
And, it should be noted, they both looked pretty great.
Davy wore an all-navy outfit paired with a small cape and Bonas chose a multicoloured, textured dress from British designer Eponine London. Both women also topped off their looks with feathered fascinators (aka small ornamental headpieces) that complemented their gowns.

Both Davy and Bonas appear to be relatively friendly with Harry — at least, friendly enough to be cool with showing up to his wedding.
Davy dated Harry on-and-off for about seven years, from 2004 to 2011. The pair met in boarding school, according to The Sun, and seem to still maintain the same friend group. In 2016, Davy told The Sunday Times, “I think we will always be good friends,” regarding her relationship with Harry.
Bonas, an actress and model, dated Harry for about two years following his split from Davy. Both Davy and Bonas were said to have struggled with the amount of public scrutiny that went along with dating Harry — and it still seems to be affecting Bonas. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Bonas said, “I have to be really careful what I say because...people love putting people into boxes and into stereotypes, especially in this country.”
In any case, neither Davy nor Bonas seemed put off in any way by the proceedings of Saturday’s Royal Wedding. Perhaps, after all those years of being in the public eye, they’ve nailed that Royal Wedding etiquette.
