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?!

Ok, I've seen the photo. No joy yet.

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 16:11

She is in most pictures of JB , but no name anywhere I can find, and hearty googling has so far failed to source the frock, I really want it !

YearOfYouRemember · 28/05/2018 16:24

I'm not having any luck either.

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 16:45

It is so lovely of you to try and find out.

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 17:09

I’ve trawled through all the midi dresses on the Harrods website. Can’t see anything even very similar. It is vaguely Roksanda, vaguely Roland Mouret, vaguely Dolce, but no obvious similar thing. ☹️

YearOfYouRemember · 28/05/2018 19:44

She must be a friend of MM.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/05/2018 20:02

Just send aJames Blunt a tweet and ask who the lady was and where she got her dress from. His twitter account is hilarious!

Photo is from Perez Hilton's Twitter feed. Pink dress lady was with a man and was walking behind James and Sofia. They might not necessarily know her.

And agree his twitter feed is funny.

YearOfYouRemember · 28/05/2018 21:07

I think I've found it

theladiesmaid.com

Petalflowers · 28/05/2018 21:40

Yippee, that’s it, and now off to google Gabriela Peacock!

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 22:27

I can’t click on that and noth8ng is coming up when I google ?

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 22:34

I found a site theladysmaid but can’t see the dress anywhere so maybe wrong site. Will carry on googling.

Petalflowers · 28/05/2018 22:38

link

Try this link.

If that doesn’t work, go,to The Lady’s Maid site, then go onto the three line tab at the top, then recent posts, and then Best dressed Roayl wedding guests.

SirVixofVixHall · 28/05/2018 23:16

I have looked at the site. Oh bloody hell her dresses are incredibly expensive. Even by designer standards. I haven’t found the actual dress yet, I’m about to browse her site.

JessieMcJessie · 28/05/2018 23:57

Gabriela Peacock appears to be some sort of diet guru for toffs.

HasAnyoneGotAProblemWithThat · 29/05/2018 06:27

Some amazing dresses there!

Movablefeast · 29/05/2018 06:40

I wasn't keen on Eugenie's look, especially as I actually really like her figure and think she could full off some cheeky numbers. She is like a Royal barmaid. Unfortunately the dated sixties look with high neck gives her a uni-boob and makes her matronly. She needs scooped necks and structured clothing.

Movablefeast · 29/05/2018 06:47

I wish Beatrice and Eugenie would just take their reputation as wild hat-wearers and run with it a la Isabella Blow. There is too much boring and tasteful fashion around.

The80sweregreat · 29/05/2018 07:42

Daily mail yesterday had a pic of DoC with two of her children ‘in a £39.99 Zara dress’

I love how they mention the price of the dress as they do the price of the houses the people live in.

YearOfYouRemember · 29/05/2018 08:12

Glad to have found it. I'm stubborn. Wasn't going to give up. Hopefully appreciated. Happy shopping!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/05/2018 08:14

So the pink dress is Emilia Wickstead

YearOfYouRemember · 29/05/2018 08:25

SirVix it's ladies spelt ies not y's.

AntiqueSinger · 29/05/2018 08:51

Ahhhh you found the dress!Wine I had a really good try, ended up on reddit searching discussion on every outfit but that one just did not appear! Well done Year shows you its good to persevere. Its a beautiful dress. I'm suprised it was overlooked by the general coverage!

Yes there's a lot of tasteful and hence less daring fashion move but who wants to criticised by the press the next day? The DM were merciless to E&B at W&K's wedding. And there's no one interesting personality wise like Dame Barbara Cartland anymore. I used to love her overly flouncey and romantic clothes.

JessieMcJessie · 29/05/2018 14:34

Emília Wickstead might be reducing her stock soon, she’s currently getting a load of flack for suggesting that MM’s wedding dress was ripped off from one of hers!
