Not sure about the sleeveless black dress for a formal occasion- but still a lovely dress. But the silver evening one - wow. Stunning.

Not sure about it. The embroidery looks a bit cheap, maybe because it looks so satiny.

I think she has such a lovely figure everything seems to suit her Envy

loved the black dress - finally she looked like she was dressing her age. and finally wore a nice pair of shoes.

I hate the black dress. It's an odd length

I hate this dress, it's like something Camilla would wear. The colour is so aging. And I usually love Kate.

I like the black one but this one just made me think, "Let it Go, Let it Go..." - maybe she's freezing him out after his holiday?! Wink

I liked the black one, she finally had an illusion of curves :)

This one is nice too, but so severe looking.

Is there a link to the black one?

She looks lovely in anything but the silver dress is tacky I think. I haven't seen the black one.

She could wear anything, she's got the figure and the money, and she always looks so old and frumpy :(
That 50s coat with the flippy skirt.... she looks like a hair hostess from 40 years ago....

I have arm envy!!

Black one is a weird length and the ankle strap shoes look cheap.

The pale dress is awful. 4 grands worth of tacky eBay flammable cruise ship tat.

I love the silver evening one, think she looks beautiful in it.

I think she looks lovely in both dresses

The silver one is aging in her and I agree it looks cheap.

I love the McQueen dress. Finally she wears something vaguely fashionable! Gorgeous length on her and looks absolutely fab. Apart from the accessories. Not a fan of the jewels (but love the shoes too).

Not sure about the necklace she was wearing with the black dress. it was really out of keeping with the little frayed bits on the dress, it didn't go with it at all I thought.

Great arms though.

boy oh boy does she need a stylist!
Black dress - length was wrong, needed to be below knee. Costume jewellery Balenciaga pearls looked like they came from Debenhams and wearing the full set far too matchy matchy. Just think of the vaults of fabulous jewels she has to choose from and she picks those 🙄
Blue Jenny Packham looks so boring and bog standard and yes, cheap but to be fair I think it looked shinier in the pics than in real life as the flash photography bounced off the satin underslip.
British ambassador's wife looked terrifically chic at both events so I'm giving her a 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh yes, ambassador's wife's evening dress was fab. Very chic. I think Kate need to cut her hair I think it adds to the frumpy look.
