Kate's dress - Stockholm visit

Your thought please.
I think she normally dresses very well but this looks like her suitcase was lost in transit and somebody in the Palace in Stockholm very kindly offered to run her up a dress from curtains ( a la The Sound of Music ) that they were donating to a charity shop.

Interestingly earlier in the day her Swedish counterpart was in a very floral number.

Victoria is Prince Charles's counterpart, and one of several European female heirs to the throne. She is very educated and accomplished.

OldBlueStitches · 31/01/2018 14:09

Queen - yes you're right in the literal sense. I meant her counterpart in the fashion stakes - nobody's starting threads or taking photos of what the men are wearing!

Annabelle4 · 31/01/2018 14:12

It's hideous.

I don't think she gets much say in what she wears during royal duties though.

She looks amazing for 7 months pregnant though Shock

MadTea · 31/01/2018 14:52

It does look awful but it is up to her what she wants to wear.

SamanthaBrique · 31/01/2018 14:54

I don't think she gets much say in what she wears during royal duties though.

I guess she does have to be pretty conservative but you can do conservative and chic - see Rania of Jordan!

Couldn't she have got something similar in (the housecoats section in) M&S. They'd fly off the racks.
Waves cheekily at the Daily Liar.

While I'm glad to see she's wearing something a bit different I think that is absolutely hideoous. I bet it cost a fortune but it looks like something off a market. The valance frill at the bottom is particularly nasty and cheap-looking

I bet she's got those fucking same court shoes on under it too

Yup, William's trousers are too short.

Have just looked at today's pictures. I like Kate's houndstooth coat except for the spacing of the buttons - they look to me slightly like extra nipples when they are spaced at that width. Like the maroon bag and shoes (and actually would have preferred that bag to the one she carried yesterday with the green coat) but not the gloves. I would love to see that outfit with narrower buttons and white gloves eg: Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada

William looks too informal for Kate today. I like Prince Daniel's look but feel like the coat should be slightly longer. Love Princess Victoria's salmon coat, not sure about the rest.

WipsGlitter · 31/01/2018 15:51

Glad to see her try something different but she looked a bit overdressed compared to the rest of them.

She also has boring hair that jars with the trendy dress.

eloisesparkle · 31/01/2018 16:11

Definitely a suitcase was mislaid as I said in my original post - why else would you pair a burgandy bag with a bright red and white coat ? Smile

WipsGlitter · 31/01/2018 16:24

It matched her shoes though!

eloisesparkle · 31/01/2018 16:26

That's true but she may have borrowed a bag and shoes from Viktoria Grin

When is she due? May?

MakeItStopNeville · 31/01/2018 16:39

She looked so tired and kissed off in the fugly dress photos. She definitely wanted to be home in her pjs eating chocolate.

MidLifeCrisis2017 · 31/01/2018 16:40

If Joules did curtain material...

MakeItStopNeville · 31/01/2018 16:47

That coat is totally a nipple coat. I liked Princess Victoria’s pink one though.

Marvellousmarge · 31/01/2018 19:00

She used to look good -
She now looks at least ten year solder than she is. Every outfit for this tour screams frump - especially the hideous blue thing today!

And why has she had so much of her glorious hair cut off? Now its a boring long bob , the same as very other woman over 35 ....

Lonelynessie · 31/01/2018 19:05

It awful and does nothing for her.

Glitterspy · 31/01/2018 19:08

Gorgeous, like something Beyoncé would wear.

splitmum · 31/01/2018 19:14

Gosh another offering from the Erdem Upholstery department
However at the bottom of the article, she looks sensational in the white chanel shift.
She should stick to her signature style which is classic shifts, tailored for her pregnanacy. She is so slim, that she is probably wearig a size 12, non maternity erdem, but the proportions are just not flattering

BuzzKillington · 31/01/2018 19:23

Gosh The blue Erdem dress is bloody awful too!

Poor Kate, who is advising her? Agree, she looks lovely in the shift dress.

I don't like her hair up, either.

octonaught · 31/01/2018 19:27

Kate could do worse than taking some style tips from Princess Mary of Denmark

She's 9 years older than Kate, has 4 kids but comes across as mpre youthful. Kate is trying to hard to be classic staid

QueenOfTheAndals · 31/01/2018 20:03

Oof that blue dress is not good. I like CPV's red blouse and black skirt though. I just read that she suffers from face blindness, which must be quite a hindrance in her role.

Pupsiecola · 31/01/2018 20:07

It's all very Margot Leadbetter isn't it? That budget; what a waste!
