VB looked like a sulky prize twonk. As per.
I don;t think she looked stylish, she just looked daft and out of place, perticularly with that hat stuck to her forehead.

TPT is being raved about over here.....they don't know who she is, but she's just won the Italian prize for best frock.I keep shouting at the telly that it's Tara Parpy Pumpkin Person but they can't hear me.

VB looked like VB would be expected to I suppose. What struck me is how ill at ease she seems compared to him.He chats away to everybody in the queue and she just pouts and looks at him as if to say "Cam an Die-vid,get a move on".

I don't see how hard it is to look stunning if you are a guest, given that your budget would be huge.

And still so many got it so wrong.
SamCam's frumpdress was £500. I can ( and do) look better in a £50 one from All Saints.

VB looked very nervous while waiting to go in the abbey, I loved Camilla's outfit and Carole's.

OMG she looks fucking awful!

AmyStake · 29/04/2011 14:14

Sad that VB can't even smile once for everybody on a day like today. I know she doesn't like her smile but still! Also looked a lot like she was dressed for a funeral.

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 14:17

I love TPT's dress, that colour looks wonderful on her. She looks incredibly self conscious though bless her, re the nose.

Miriam Gonzales wins a prize for me, soo stylish.

Princess Letizia also looks wonderful, as does Zara Phillips.

As per usual VB flung her arm around Davids shoulders when she entered the Abbey, we know you're married to him you miserable sod.

VB looked a state, I am so fed up with her having a face like a smacked backside, she has no money worries, she has 3 beautiful healthy children and another on the way, she has a loving husband, she has a lot to smile about but never does, she always reminds me of a petulant child

I've just seen TPT's outfit in full. She looks like a cross between an air hostess and a Thunderbird. Too much blue. :(

TandB · 29/04/2011 14:38

I am going against the flow here. Grin

I thought TPT looked bizarre and I thought Samantha Cameron looked nice.

VB's outfit was too close to black for my liking - it looked a bit attention-seeking, as though she knew everyone else would be in light colours and deliberately chose something that would stand out. And can't she ever smile?

laughalot · 29/04/2011 14:39

My cousin reckoned tpt hat looked like a giant vagina Grin stuck on her forehead.

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 14:39

I have a bit of sympathy as VB hates her smile apparently - i never smile in public as am grouchy bint I loathe my teeth.

MarioandLuigi · 29/04/2011 14:40

TPT looked like an old film star - I thnk the gloves were a bit OTT but I liked the dress - Hat was odd though.

alistron1 · 29/04/2011 14:43

I thought samcam looked lovely. Nick Cleggs wife looked like she was in fancy dress. And as for Beatrice and Eugenie - WTF???!

jalopy · 29/04/2011 14:49

Her hat only served to point at her nose.

BalloonSlayer · 29/04/2011 14:51

Just what I was going to post jaolpy

She should have worn a hat like Princess Michael of Kent's one. It was about three feet across and must have been able to pick up TV programmes being broadcast in Uzbekistan. I loved it.

Stiefeliblue · 29/04/2011 14:55

i don't know why everybody keeps going on about Victoria Beckham not smiling... i don't smile on pictures because my smile make my face go wonky... she might think the same thing or that she do not like her smile.just because you have no moneyprobs, a wonderful husband and 3 1/2 Kids does not mean you have to grin like a loon all the time in public...

Meggles76 · 29/04/2011 14:58

I have always thought that VB is a revolting woman. The black dress was dull and predictable and further highlights her obsession with appearing ultra slim (even when pregnant apparently). It was also embarrassing when she grabbed hold of David and started pouting as soon as she saw a camera on them. Today was not about you VB!!

Yes, Beatrice and Eugenie - my eyes, my eyes, my poor eyes.

Samcam looked good and the colours she chose really worked together.

juneau · 29/04/2011 16:22

I loved Sam Cam's dress, although I thought she should've worn a hat. And Carole and Camilla looked very elegant. VB looked funereal and miserable - silly cow. And Beatrice and Eugenie both looked horrendous. Beatrice's dress was okay, but that hat? Ridiculous.

unsurevalentine · 29/04/2011 16:28

Ahhhhhh STILL laughing at "smurfs shoe" [cgrin]

ivykaty44 · 29/04/2011 16:36

I don't think anyone is asking for VB to smile like a loon all the time, just to at least look happy as its a happy event not a flipping funeral, she dressed her clothes and face for somber sad event and it shows when everyone else is looking happy around her. If you are that vain that you don't like to smile ever, it is rather sad in itself Sad
