And to wonder if that is not a look best avoided?

The hat is a bit dodge. Pippa needs to stop with the drop waists, she has a long body & they just highlights it.

I must admit to being very confused by Meghan carrying gloves. Do you think someone at KP told her it was normally very cold in English churches................ Grin.

UrsulaPandress · 09/07/2018 20:00

I thought Kate's headband looked as if it would be very hot.

She did look joyously happy.

Missbrick1 · 09/07/2018 20:01

Liking Megan in the olive/khaki though.

ProperLavs · 09/07/2018 20:06

she wore gloves to slap the peasants if they got out of order.

I thought she looked lovely even though the gloves weren’t appropriate. It’s as if she’s dressing for a role and some wardrobe person thought right oh, we need gloves with that because Audrey wore them with a similar outfit during late autumn 1960.

MadeleineMaxwell · 09/07/2018 20:07

Love love love Meghan's outfit, such nice, clean, elegant lines and she can't half pull off khaki.

Kate looks really happy, but I'm pretty sure she found that hat in the back of my granny's cupboard.

whatwouldkeithRichardsdo2 · 09/07/2018 20:08

It's a beautiful piece of millinery showcasing British design. It's striking yet feminine, Catherine looked radiant today and her big smile helped carry it off. I thought it was wonderful.

A christening is not a fashion parade.

Rory786 · 09/07/2018 20:16

I wish Kate would wear other colours, she wears cream a lot!

halfwitpicker · 09/07/2018 20:17

Tis for some people, allthesaints

halfwitpicker · 09/07/2018 20:18

Meg has obviously been reading the S&B threads

Yambabe · 09/07/2018 20:18

Don't like Kate's hat, it's a bit 60s posh housewife no?

Also wondering what is going on with Meghan and the slash necks?

And puff sleeves on any dress? Just no ffs!

Agree they all look happy though, and that's what counts.....

viques · 09/07/2018 20:21

I like Meghan's outfit , I didn't at first , then I realised that half of it belonged to a Bishop who was wearing a similar shade........... Once I saw her without the bustle it looked great.

Kate's hat reminded me of the funny little half hats women wore in the 50s, often made of petals or feathers, I had a few in my dressing up box, very handy for when I was being a ballerina as I thought wearing one made me the spit of Margot Fonteyn. I was always an over imaginative child.

Agree Pippa needs better bras, maybe she was expecting her pregnancy boob bonanza to have kicked in by now!

Yambabe · 09/07/2018 20:21

In fact a bit Month Python!

Rory786 "I wish Kate would wear other colours, she wears cream a lot!"

Well for goodness sake give Kensington Palace your contact details, so that she can consult you on what she should be wearing. The silly woman probably thinks she can choose her own clothes, so the sooner she knows it's your decision not hers, the better.

Undercoverbanana · 09/07/2018 20:28

I thought Kate looked really nice. I loved the French Hood!

Meghan looked great too.

Pippa’s dress was horrible. Looks like something from the Next sale.

NicoAndTheNiners · 09/07/2018 20:28

Both Kate and Pippa dress like women in their 50s. Kate is aging terribly, but then so is William. I’m sure neither of them give a stuff. If I was going to be Queen one day I probably wouldn’t give a shit either!

WigglyBlossom · 09/07/2018 20:28

I thought more Wallis Simpson than Ann Boleyn. Very 1940's looking style.

sheldonesque · 09/07/2018 20:32

I thought she looked beautiful. The happiness was shining out of her.
Meghan looked lovely too.

Pippa? Not so much. But she is still more elegant and beautiful than me.

I look like waynetta with my elasticated trousers and chin hair. I've no business commenting on anyone.

Clionba · 09/07/2018 20:36

sheldonesque ha ha 😂!!
I thought Kate looked absolutely thrilled to bits with Louis, radiant! Meghan looking chic and elegant.

Fluffyrainbows · 09/07/2018 20:36

I thought she looked lovely. And very natural and happy. I don't think she copies Diana. Diana's look was nothing like Catherine and generally pretty bad.

gabsdot · 09/07/2018 20:40

The men are all matching. Shiny blue suits and light blue ties.

AnneWiddecombesHandbag · 09/07/2018 20:41

I might be mis remembering this but I'm sure I read somewhere that Kate is actually a distant relative of Anne Boleyn.

GruffaIo · 09/07/2018 20:42

Kate may have been very happy but she often grins, even at very sombre events. Saral Hammel in 2016 suggested this was to conceal the way her face has aged, and the impact of botox and fillers. Who knows. IMO her face looks much more lovely with a little more weight on.
