However, the 26 year old had asked permission from the royal bride  before she stepped out in the informal look.

Speaking to Hello! magazine about her outfit choice, Cara said: "Eugenie has been a friend of mine since I was a kid and I've always wanted to wear tails.

"I texted her, as I wasn't sure about it."

But Eugenie was totally fine with Cara's outfit choice and knew the Suicide Squad actress would break the fashion rules.

Asked what Eugenie's reaction was, she replied: "She was like: 'Of course, I expected nothing else from you!'"

The dress code on Eugenie's wedding invitations stated men wore a morning coat, while women were asked to don a day dress with a hat.

Other celebrity guests followed the strict rules, such as Kate Moss and Demi Moore.
