THE claws are already out.

Antlers, a tv aerial, Snow White's wicked stepmother's mirror, an octopus, a Predator costume and even an attempt to become Britain's Lady Gaga.

These are not the words one would hope to inspire with one's wedding outfit, but they were all used to describe the bizarre headpiece Princess Beatrice wore at the royal wedding.

Amidst the pomp and circumstance of the big day, the eyes of the world were on what people wore, and while the general consensus is the bride and her maid of honour looked beautiful, the royal cousins have taken the crown for worst dressed.

The outfits of Princess Eugenie and Beatrice have been branded fashion flops with the young princesses opting for brave but unflattering creations.

Beatrice's drab Valentino Haute Couture dress and coat were barely noticed as all eyes were on the headpiece.

From the instant she appeared on screen, social networks lit up with brutal assessments.

The fascinator already has its own Facebook page, Princess Beatrice's Ridiculous Royal Wedding Hat, with members posting thrown-together photos of the princess with monsters on her head.

Beatrice's sister Eugenie also copped criticism. The blue and green Vivienne Westwood suit was illfitting and awkward, with a pouffy taffeta skirt that did little to flatter.

The Daily Mail pleaded with the Princess to "pick a colour" as her Philip Treacy headpiece sprouted beige feathers, maroon flowers sitting in a blue boat-shaped hat.

The outfits were a far cry from the princesses' appearance at the Queen's pre-wedding gala dinner, where the sisters turned heads with their glamorous attire.

The girls were not alone in the clothing condemnation however.

British Prime Minister David Cameron's wife Samantha drew fire for choosing not to wear a hat.

Victoria Beckham was criticised for her funereal black dress, and girlfriend of Prince Harry, Chelsy Davy was slammed for her aqua minisuit and mismatched accessories

The praise was mostly reserved for the beautiful bride Kate, and her sister Pippa who looked elegant in a simple Alexander McQueen gown.
