Kate's Clutch Bags

145 replies

WipsGlitter · 11/04/2016 16:15

I was reading a bit of a mean article in the Daily Mail (obviously) about how unstylish she was. I don't agree with all of it but i do think the wee teeny clutch bags don't help. I know she can't manage a shoulder bag but maybe something a bit bigger might look better and less buttoned up.

I also can't believe she has tights on she must be roasted!

That £50 dress was so going in the bin after she wore it!

Pisssssedofff · 12/04/2016 22:29

Pippas hardly a style icon either though and no excuses unlike Kate. Those girls just seem utterly bland .... What I'd do if I had their money sigh

NNalreadyinuse · 13/04/2016 08:10

I liked the £50 dress much more than the £1K + ones. The coloure was lovely on her and she looked comfortable in it.

PennyHasNoSurname · 13/04/2016 08:28

My favourite so far is the mint dress, though it looked nicer before the modesty panels were put in (understabdable they were added though!).

She looked really relaxed on the safari this morning and I do like those little boat shoes she wears.

WipsGlitter · 13/04/2016 08:28

Another shoe mistake though with the Anna Sui dress and the wedges. Looked totally wrong.

Loved her casual look for the safari. Apart from the shoes.

But did you see those Zara jeans from the back on the DM ??

They went up her bum so far you could make out her undercarriage! Blush How can someone think that spray on jeans are appropriate for rural India???

I dont want to be a fussy old cow, but its not on, its really not. They looked like they were going to split.

Why not just wear regular khakis???

ElspethFlashman · 13/04/2016 13:04

(Quite apart from the....er.....clagginess in that heat, as Sarah Millican would say)

Confused
WipsGlitter · 13/04/2016 16:20

Hmmm they are quite a "snug" fit indeed!!

TheCraicDealer I've also wondered about her toes... awful shoes, I wish she just looked a bit more ruffled sometimes. I prefer Pippa's style at least she seems to dress herself an seems a bit more "real".

GreenHamNoeggs · 13/04/2016 17:02

Golly. Those trousers are tight.

Pisssssedofff · 13/04/2016 18:24

They've actually taken a close up of the future queens Arse 😳
She needs to do more squats but that's hardly the point

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/04/2016 23:18

Why does she need to do more squats?Confused

They are very, very tight, 'sprayed on' as my mum used to sayGrin

Pisssssedofff · 14/04/2016 11:03

She's got no arse, very flat .... I can't believe that we know this about the future queen though, seems a bit wrong

AdrenalineFudge · 14/04/2016 11:16

I'm not her biggest fan by a long shot but the DM really need to fuck off with their disparaging articles about her. They really seem to have an axe to grind, no wonder she opts out of occasions as they all know that it will be overshadowed by what she's wearing, or not wearing. Having said that, I'm quite surprised that she's managed to lose half her weight and maintain it.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/04/2016 14:46

I'd love an arse like hersGrin

WipsGlitter · 14/04/2016 21:35

Looks amazing in the Tori Burch dress tonight with sandals!!

While I dislike the way the press have it in for KM at the moment, she has definitely lost her style "mojo" recently. Could it be that having two babies in quick succession has worn her out a bit or just put fashion statements down her list of priorities?

mrsvilliers · 14/04/2016 22:29

I know I loved the sandals too! Maybe she thought ok to get the toes out as the Queen of Bhutan had sandals on earlier.

lem73 if this is her version of skinnies and oversized tops then she's doing well Grin

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 15/04/2016 10:04

I'm seriously impressed by her ability to hike for hours in the boots she had on.

BitOutOfPractice · 15/04/2016 10:52

Bloody hell. She had that amazing Bhutan inspired outfot on doing archery and she was wearing those fucking plain nude court shoes again!

Seriously, does she only have one pair of shoes?! They looked awful with that outfit

BitOutOfPractice · 15/04/2016 10:59

As an aside, doesn't Bhutan look amazing? The traditional costumes of the men and women are just stunning. And Kate could learn a thing or two about interesting footwear from the king (and queen!)

Libitina · 15/04/2016 11:10

I wish she'd do something with her hair, it just hangs all over her face and swamps her. She looks much younger and prettier when it's tied up. I wish she'd tone down the eyeliner a bit too during the day, it's fine for evenings out.

ElspethFlashman · 15/04/2016 13:17

Bhutan looks like Heaven. Literally!

I want those boots but suspect they can only be worn by the very very skinny of leg. She looks really really thin in that waistcoat. I really cant imagine she's anymore than a size 8 and she's bloody tall. But I guess if I were that scrutinized I'd make sure I was as skinny as a rake too. She's obviously healthy as a horse though.

member · 15/04/2016 13:34

I noticed in a pic of her p.a and stylist the other day that one was wearing the wedges Kate is known for, the other the navy courts. Wonder if there are shoe swaps to cut down luggage?

And yes to the courts looking ridiculous with the Bhutan skirt - at least the courts themselves aren't those platform patent ones she kept wearing!

There are certain photos where Kate's smile looks a bit like Camilla imo, anybody else noticed that?
