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?!

Apologies if this has been said already, James Blunt's wife is Sofia Wellesley Granddaughter of the Duke of Wellington, James was her plus one.

Pippa definitely needs a new bra.

QueenOfTheAndals · 19/05/2018 19:16

@Mrsmadevans Yes, she was in dark blue - short-sleeved full-skirted dress and a wide-brimmed hat. She may not have her mother's looks but she's inherited her elegance. Princess Margaret remained glamorous well into later life.

Idris Elbas wifes outfit was hideous....who in gods name wears a long naff cardi to a wedding??
Not keen on Victoria Beckhams either...too plain and didnt like the sleeves...didnt like the dress with the huge white collar either.

katseyes7 · 19/05/2018 19:21

l thought Amal Clooney looked stunning. Very elegant and very Joan Crawford! My favourite was Priyanka Chopra's beautiful Vivienne Westwood suit. lncredible tailoring, and a gorgeous colour.

check out Serena's evening do frock

Serena's evening dress is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing photos of tonight's outfits too. Apparently Meghan has a different dress for the evening reception.

EachandEveryone · 19/05/2018 19:23

Gorgeous. Megans is sublime but plain. I thought she might be bolder.

EachandEveryone · 19/05/2018 19:24

Its on sky news

Mrsmadevans · 19/05/2018 19:27

Thank you Queen of the Andals . Sarah Chatto looked so elegant She reminded me of Audrey Hepburn.

LOVE serena's evening dress, she looks beautiful

I thought Meghan’s dress was lovely for her. It was elegant and classic.
Kate looked lovely. Fergie surprisingly looked really good.
My favourites ; Earl Spencer’s wife Karen and his daughter Kitty
Idris Elba’s fiancee Sabrina.
Suits stars Gabriel Macht’s wife Jacinda looked alright as well.
I didn’t like Princess Beatrice’s outfit.
Pippa needed to wear a better fitting bra.
Like Pippa, Delfina Blaquier needed to wear a better fitting bra and the cut of her dress emphasised her long boney feet which looked rather unattractive.

If I was going to a royal wedding I think I would definitely show my mum the outfit I was wearing.
Why Judy Finnegan didn’t tell Chloe she needed her shoulders covered in church is beyond me......

Kate has worn her chiffon lemon coat 3 times before including Charlotte’s christening.....

I loved the outfits of

Sophie Wessex
Camilla
Amal
Kitty

Hated what Eugenie wore. High necks are flattering on no one with boobs and who are short.

gabsdot · 19/05/2018 19:35

I really liked the queen's outfit. The colours were lovely.

The80sweregreat · 19/05/2018 19:38

Looked on line and Meghan is wearing Stella McCartney evening dress and it’s lovely! I know nothing about fashion , but she looks great.

RosinaAlmaviva · 19/05/2018 19:39

@SirVixofVixHall yes, the Queen and especially Princess Margaret looked lovely back in the day.

Watching the highlights and remembering how relieved I was that when the archbishop asked about impediments, none of Meghan's rellies burst into the chapel shouting about fake fairy tales.

QueenOfTheAndals · 19/05/2018 19:41

From the Mail's Royal reporter:

'Meghan’s evening dress is designed by Stella McCartney and is a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe.
She is wearing shoes from Aquazurra made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue.'

Crunchymum · 19/05/2018 19:43

Fergie was the show stealer for me.

Crunchymum · 19/05/2018 19:45

Where did you see the evening dress The80s ????

The80sweregreat · 19/05/2018 19:47

Looked at the daily mail website as I don’t have subscription for the other papers online.
It’s worth a look - nice dress.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 19/05/2018 19:48

Meghan & Harry leaving for their evening reception looking like 007 and a Bond Girl

Aworldofmyown · 19/05/2018 19:48

I thought Zara Tindell looked beautiful.

Amal Clooney looked absolutely amazing, that saffron shade complimented her beautifully. Victoria Beckham look dour and miserable. David Beckham - wow

The80sweregreat · 19/05/2018 19:51

Harry looks better in an evening suit.
