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?!

Fergie's dress was lovely, but what's with the one glove Michael Jackson impression??

I thought Victoria Beckham looked lovely, I love navy and those shoes with the dress made it!

itchyknees · 19/05/2018 16:54

One glove? Didn’t clock that.

Frazzled2207 · 19/05/2018 16:55

Yep Sarah Ferguson got it right but her daughters. I thought Beatrice's was ok with much better headgear than that infamous toilet seat effort but Eugenie's was unflattering.

Also Zara must have been hot in that dark green coat.

Amal Clooney and Countess Spencer were among the best. Also Kate M but we didn't get that good a look of her.

GalwayWayfarer · 19/05/2018 16:56

Totally agree re Beatrice and Eugenie, they both looked quite frumpy IMO when they could be so glam. Thought Kate looked lovely and elegant and understated and loved the queen in green - I always like her in brights!

Harry and William were SO smart, loved seeing them! And MOB looked so lovely and elegant.

Frazzled2207 · 19/05/2018 16:57

Ah Yes and blue polka dot lady though I don't know who she is.
Doria was understated but very nice.
Camilla looked great too.

Graphista · 19/05/2018 16:57

I love kitty Spencer's outfit inc pattern and Sarah rafferty's.

Eugenie and Beatrice really need a good stylist they've good figures but never get it quite right. The high necklines don't work at all.

Bluelady · 19/05/2018 16:58

Kitty Spencer and Amal Clooney were the stand outs for me.. Princess Royal looked as if she was wearing her dressing gown. Loved Camilla's hat, the rest of the outfit was pretty ordinary.

Chewbecca · 19/05/2018 16:58

Really liked Kitty Spencer and Amal Clooney.

Did not like Chloe Madeley's dress, she really needed a jacket for the church. Also thought Pippa desperately needed bra intervention.

diddl · 19/05/2018 16:59

"but a woman who was walking with Priyanka Chopra"

Abigail Spencer?

eggsandchips · 19/05/2018 16:59

Eugenies dress was probably the most boring there.

I thought Sarah Ferguson looked fab, unlike her daughters who seem to have a very peculiar taste in clothing.
Thought Pippa looked average. Princess Anne looked very elegant.

raisedbyguineapigs · 19/05/2018 16:59

I really loved Kitty Spencer's outfit. It really stood out for me. There were lots of pregnant women there. Who was the one in the bright pink who was with the flower girls?

SubtitlesOn · 19/05/2018 17:00

I liked Countess of Wessex (the top part especially)
Princess Anne
Meghan's Mum
Sarah Ferguson
Zara Tindall - for heavily pregnant mum to be looked amazing
Obviously The Queen
Lady Louisa is quite an amazing young lady, I remember her on Queen's 90th going to talk to the public completely independently from other Royals, I mean she went to different areas of the crowds alone and she was just 12 years old - no way could I have done that at 12, even the other Royals sort of stuck together in a group. She is also an accomplished horse carriage driver

Graphista · 19/05/2018 17:00

I cannot find a pic of Sarah Ferguson can someone post or a link?

mydogisthebest · 19/05/2018 17:00

I liked almost all the outfits. I loved Amal's dress and the one the Timeless actress wore. I also thought Serena Williams looked lovely.

Not that keen on Princess Anne's outfit or Kate's although Kate did look nice just old fashioned.

Idris Elba looked gorgeous as always - well even more gorgeous today actually in his suit.

Oh and I loved the Queen's outfit too.

CassandraCross · 19/05/2018 17:01

Countess Spencer in the purple outfit was my top pick, thought she looked stunning, closely followed by Gina Torres, Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Amal Clooney and Kitty Spencer.

George Clooney seems to be one of those men that always look effortlessly elegant in whatever they wear - Thierry Henri is another.

I thought that overall everyone I saw looked fantastic, unlike at Pippa's wedding where the dress code seemed to be to look as awful as possible.

SubtitlesOn · 19/05/2018 17:02

Yes agree about George Clooney looking amazing SmileSmileSmile

ZiziJeanmaire · 19/05/2018 17:03

Amal.

HolyMountain · 19/05/2018 17:03

Off on a tangent Grin but Kitty is such a great name, love it!

TonTonMacoute · 19/05/2018 17:04

Eugenie was beyond frumpy. She looked like an extra in Heartbeat.

Can I throw Serena Williams into the mix? She looked absolutely amazing!
