Sarah, the Duchess of York's best ever evening dresses over the years

Fergie's frocks are magnificent...

It's no secret that Sarah, the Duchess of York has a stellar sense of style; whether she's on mother-of-the-bride duty, or out shopping with her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, we're always impressed with her sartorial looks. But we have to say, it's her red carpet dresses that really stand out from the crowd. The former wife of Prince Andrew doesn't play it safe with her style - she doesn't choose long black evening gowns or simple designs for every occasion, she likes colour, she likes bling, she likes lace and she's partial to a va-va-voom sexy number from time to time. Ready to check out Fergie's fanciest frocks?

It'll be all white on the night

When Sarah wore this exquisite white evening gown to a Dubai gala in December 2017, we oohed and aahed over the gold embellishment.

OOH! You've got to see Sarah's sheer black dress with fitted bodice

Lady in red

Sarah Ferguson loves a red dress - it matches her hair (and the red carpet!) perfectly, we have to say. For the 'Filming Italy Sardegna Festival' gala dinner at Forte Village Resort in Italy, Sarah opted for this red gown by Tiziana Rocca which she teamed with a statement clutch bag and diamond drop earrings.

Orange is the new black

When Sarah attended amfAR's 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala in France, she looked the best she has ever looked in this orange v-neck gown.

Gorgeous and glitzy

You just can't beat a glitzy frock, and thanks to the diamond-encrusted spaghetti straps on's simple black dress, she looked ready to hit the dance floor. Sarah was showing her support at the 2011 Women For Women International Gala at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Luxe velvet

Did you know that Sarah Ferguson is a red carpet-regular at the Golden Globes?! She has been a fair few times. The former wife of Prince Andrew looked incredible when she mingled with the A-list in green velvet back in 2010.

Swit swoo

This corset number is giving us major Madonna vibes when Sarah attended an event with Kanye West. The 2006 New York bash saw Sarah rock a whole new look.

Wonderful in white

We've gone through the archives with this look! When Sarah attended the 65th American Ballet Theater Spring Gala at Metropolitan Opera House in New York, she looked like she could be heading down the aisle again. Beautiful!

Lush in lace

The glam hair, the long gloves, the tight lace dress - this is one hell of a look Sarah was serving at the 61st Annual Golden Globe Awards. We approve.

And don't forget this one!

We can't document Sarah's best red carpet looks and not show you this photo of Sarah and her then-husband Prince Andrew when they attended a gala charity performance of Barry Humphries' show 'Back With A Vengeance' in 1988. She was pregnant with Princess Beatrice at the time. Oh, we can't get over this one.
