What do we think of last nights dress? dm all in a flap as apparently she was braless.

Horsemad · 27/10/2015 15:11

Hmmm, not sure about last night's dress Hmm

squoosh · 27/10/2015 15:12

It's a bit billowy, the skirt is fine but the top looks a bit droopy.

I liked the back of the dress at the top, but thought from the front it appeared a bit shapeless.

Cerseirys · 27/10/2015 16:45

It had a nice aesthetic to it but I think a richer jewel-toned blue would've looked better.

TheCraicDealer · 27/10/2015 20:01

Dislike. Looks like there's way too much material around the bust, arms and waist and the bit at the back is a half arsed attempt at being 'daring'. Considering it's bespoke it's just really blah and the colour does nothing for her. Those floaty pale dresses always look poop on dark, wet, windy nights.

Wtf is she wearing tonight?Shock

The Erdem? I liked it. The bold colours suited her and it was nice to see her in something non-boring. The dust ruffle hem I could've done without though.

It is nice up to a point
and that point is the hem
at which point it looks like a curtain
a not very nice curtain

The pattern is too busy for a dress with that much material.

I like it, it makes a nice change from her plain colour, safe clothes. I hope this is the beginning of a brave new Kate. Sometimes she will get it wrong, sometimes she will get it very right. I think she looks fantastic, standing tall and proud among a sea of safe clad women. For the first time since her wedding, I am looking forward to seeing what she will wear next.

I love tonight's dress (it's very similar to the lovely Erdem Sophie Hunter wore) but oh, how I wish she'd worn her hair up! It would have looked miles better and really shown off the dress properly.

CheckedMate · 28/10/2015 00:41

The hair, the hair, the hair. Too much hair!!

FeelsLikeHome123 · 28/10/2015 00:50

Liked Kate's hair and makeup but didn't like the flowery dress. Harry is getting a little chubby and the beard doesn't really suit him. Wills seems to be putting on a little bit of weight too. They almost seem a little too 'normal' sometimes to be royalty Smile

TheDowagerCuntess · 28/10/2015 04:06

Love it. Beautiful colour.

SeveredHeadsDragOnTheFloor · 28/10/2015 07:27

All that floral dress needed was a frill round the neck and it would look like a 1980/90's bridesmaid dress. The tiered skirt ruined it completely.

susannahmoodie · 28/10/2015 07:59

Yes liked the dress except for the hem. Also thought she has looked more gaunt than usual of late - look at her face here

susannahmoodie · 28/10/2015 08:02

Oops here

Is it that she is gaunt or that the hair has just got MASSIVE? Serious question!

I can't decide if it's she who isn't listening to her style advisor, or if it's the hairstylist who's encouraging her to go bigger and bigger, more and more with the extensions??

Scattymum101 · 28/10/2015 08:44

I love her but think she's aging more quickly because she looks so gaunt. I think she looks older than 33!

susannahmoodie · 28/10/2015 08:52

She looks like Liz Hurley here. Who is beautiful. But 50.

SixtyFootDoll · 28/10/2015 08:57

Would have looked better with hair up. The fringe needs thinning, either do a fringe properly or not at all.
I liked the dress, more age appropriate and fun, but the hair and make up looked to casual

GreenHamNoeggs · 28/10/2015 08:58

I think her weight ought to be ringing alarm bells. She looked emaciated in that blue chiffon dress Sad

CallaLilli · 28/10/2015 09:15

The hair is extensions, right? I can remember photos of her from years ago and it wasn't as thick and full. There's only so much a good blow dry can do!

AliciaMayEmory · 28/10/2015 09:18

Gaunt?!!! She really doesn't look gaunt! And emaiciated? Ffs! She thin. Its a natural body type. (And the sad face of faux concern doesn't make comments any less horrible). So what if she uses hair extensions? As far as I am aware, she doesn't go round saying that she is 'all natural' like some celebs do who have obviously had much work done. Jeez, I've never seen such bitchiness about a woman who is just getting on with her life.

susannahmoodie · 28/10/2015 09:41

Alicia- are you Amanda Platell?
