Royal wedding outfits (because they are the best bit!)

Without being bitchy about actual physical attributes, who looked great and who didn't quite make the grade?

I thought the bride's mother's outfit was lovely. Amal Clooney's yellow dress looked fab. Pippa Middleton's dress was v pretty. I liked Victoria beckham's too. Some lovely hats here:

But Eugenie and Beatrice bless them both seem to have gone for quite unflattering dresses in my personal opinion. They are young, slim, pretty, have lovely shiny hair and have an unlimited budget - how do they manage to get the dresses wrong?!

The gum was annoying me I wonder what it was about, I notice Tom Hardy chewing too

Janina Gavankar had the standout outfit of the day for me. I loved it when those 3 amazing women rocked up. I didn't know who she was before and had to look her up. I could watch that strut over and over

I liked the floaty floral dresses best. There were some very pretty ones. Very appropriate for the weather and the occasion, without looking as if they were trying to make a statement.

Dee03 · 20/05/2018 14:02

Charlotte Riley looked very pretty

junglebookisthebest · 20/05/2018 14:40

is there a link to the evening outfits - I haven't seen any other than Serena's...

Rainatnight · 20/05/2018 15:40

This is an excellent rundown of the outfits! (Though the very funny commentary does not pass the OP's rule about not being bitchy!)

The length of Princess Bea's dress suits her with her slim legs and ankles but it should've had a sweetheart neckline and fitted 3/4 sleeves.

She'd look great in more fitted vintage styles.

I have to make a confession. Fascinators give me the irrational rage.

The80sweregreat · 20/05/2018 16:58

No gum rule should apply I agree.

Tom Hardy looked strange with his bald head chewing away.

MrsJayy · 20/05/2018 17:15

Tom hardy looks like a giant baby with his bald head and pouty lips Confused I know it is for a film but he needs hair

The80sweregreat · 20/05/2018 17:26

Mrsjsyy - these actors suffer for their art!

LassWiADelicateAir · 20/05/2018 17:33

Was Sarah Chatto in the blue hat and dress ? If so she looked very chic and elegant

I see this has been answered- I thought that was a beautiful dress.

The standout awful ones for me were Serena Williams and Oprah Winfrey's hideous bandage pink coloured dresses otherwise there were some wonderful outfits , the 3 women from Suits in particular

MrsJayy · 20/05/2018 17:39

I know 80s giant baby though Grin

MrsWhirly · 20/05/2018 17:41

Amal all the way - simply stunning outfit, worn so well.

Mmmmmmmchips · 20/05/2018 17:48

Standout
Sofia Wellesley (James blunts wife)
He dress was amazing

Total thumbs down
Priyanka Chopra
Apparently her dress only came at midnight and it was appalling and ill fitting

Mmmmmmmchips · 20/05/2018 17:49

Amal Clooney was a close second after sofia

KarenW · 20/05/2018 17:56

think that they all chew gum as they are so thin from not eating that their breath stinks! Just sayin!! Chloe Madeley was inappropriately dressed too, shocking. Think Doria nailed it. elegant and such a lovely colour too.

The80sweregreat · 20/05/2018 18:01

Giant baby! ..He did look odd and grumpy.
They were all probably hot and bothered I guess. And cramped in those seats.
I wonder if they put the gum under the stall seats ? Yucky thought!

cherrytrees123 · 20/05/2018 18:04

Kitty Spencer is just... stunning. Words fail

MikeUniformMike · 20/05/2018 18:07

I think that Lady Louise is so pretty. Her brother is good-looking too.
The CoW always looks perfect IMO.
Beatrice and Eugenie are both pretty and look like they would be fun.

The80sweregreat · 20/05/2018 18:08

Kitty Spencer is gorgeous.
I don’t know much about her but I think some of her siblings are just as stunning?
She must get lots of attention.

midsomermurderess · 20/05/2018 18:20

I liked Eugenia's sixties-style outfit, it really suited her and I liked Beatrice's too. The few photos I saw of Sarah Ferguson, she looked great.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 20/05/2018 18:20

I think it was Eugenia who was in a powder blue dress and matching hat - I thought she looked like an air hostess.

There were some lovely dresses there - I was particularly struck by the Princess Royal’s dress - I lived that fuchsia and purple fabric, and I thought she looked great.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 20/05/2018 18:23

I was wrong - the hat didn’t match, but definitely trolley dolly outfit.

The Spencers were all lovely. I like Eugenie’s style too but Beatrice’s not so much.
