Spencer Wedding style

This was the wedding of the niece of Princess Diana; Celia McQuorquodale, whose mother is a Spencer.
I am not going to mention the most high profile female guest.
However I do like the frocks at a society wedding. I thought the mother of the bride Lady Sarah looked lovely. I think it gives us an idea of how the late Princess would have dressed.
Lady a Kitty looked great, although I thought floral print on her dress was over scale. I loved her hat.
Also lovely to see the Spencer Tiara on another bride.

I think MM should wear more Stella McCartney. That evening reception dress was the best thing I’ve seen her in.
I also thought she looked good in Emilia Wickstead, but I suspect she is persona non grata now, by claiming the Givenchy Wedding dress was a copy of her work.
MM also seems to be wearing a lot of beige / cream. Light colours are fine, like her Blush Trooping of the Colour dress, but she needs a bit more colour, bless her.

Kitty Spencer is absolutely stunning in general. There was a lot of uncomplimentary chat about her outfit for H&M’s wedding but honestly the woman could wear a nun’s habit and she’d still look fantastic.

Off topic, but Interesting what @CurlyWurlyTwirly says about how Diana would have attended as a glam guest of honour- I’m not so sure. Sadly I think the RF PR machine would have been successful turning her into a Fergie-figure post divorce.

@CurlyWurlyTwirly I think the caped dress she wore to the Variety Performance was Stella too. Also loved her McQueen trouser suit, it was just so stylish. She doesn't appear to be a big fan of colour anymore - everything I've seen her in recently has been either black, white or beige/neutral.

And the lovely Diana might have succumbed to the plastic, bland Botoxed look typical of so many celebrities nowadays.

QueenOfTheAndals · 19/06/2018 21:54

Imagine what Diana could've done with Twitter?!

VanillaSugar · 19/06/2018 22:08

I think that the senior royals are told to co-ordinate their clothes colours so that they look good in photos. DoC was slated for wearing a cream/yellow dress to H&M's wedding but the official photos look amazing and thought through. Same with Ascot this week.

Kitty looked divine!

Earl Spencer's wife Karen should've worn a looser dress.

SheStoopsToConker · 19/06/2018 22:10

Karen's dress was so tight you could see the outline of her navel through it! No harm in going up a size...

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 19/06/2018 22:20

Yes Countess Spencer was probably wearing a full length Spanx to keep it all in. I’ve never seen a dress so tight you could see the wearer’s belly button.

I wonder whether when the Queen is no more, other Royals will adopt her zingy colours. The last Royal who wore any colour on a regular basis was Diana. Although Kate cracks open the colour on overseas visits.

The clothes Kate wore on their India trip were a refreshing departure. The relaxed boho vibe and bold colours she sported suited her so much better than the matronly stuff she wears over here.

petrolpump28 · 20/06/2018 09:27

wow Kate looks great in those clothes. Although I thought she looked amazing at the wedding too.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/06/2018 15:27

That Tory Burch dress with the orange wrap is one of the few things from her wardrobe that I wish I owned.

Clionba · 20/06/2018 19:54

Sophie is always so elegant, I love her style. Eugenie dresses for her figure and those fitted dresses really suit her. Most of the Spencer women looked good, but the Countess did look a bit uncomfortable in that tight dress!

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 20:06

Nothing from Kate's wardrobe would fit me.

Clionba · 20/06/2018 20:30

Three kids and she's about the same size as I was pre kids Confused
That woman has an iron will.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/06/2018 21:18

Kate does rock evening wear. Hopefully when baby Louis is a bit older, William will whisk her off to a few film premieres.

She does, although I think most of those shots are from several years ago. These days it's more Erdem floral curtains that she wears to evening events.

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 21:30

She has been pregnant for quite a part of the last few years.

WipsGlitter · 20/06/2018 21:31

Sophie Wessex looked fab again today!

Clionba · 20/06/2018 22:20

The Spencers are a good looking family. That's helped the Windsor gene pool! Have you seen Louis, Viscount Althorp??! 😉

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 22:23

He's very easy on the eye isn't he.
I think Sophie and Edward's children are good-looking too.

QueenOfTheAndals · 21/06/2018 01:46

Louis is very handsome. Doesn't take after his father!

Clionba · 21/06/2018 06:01

I agree with people above about colour. The Queen certainly wears striking and varied colours. Meghan seems mostly to wear white and beige, I think she could rock some of HM's zingy colours.

2up2manydown · 21/06/2018 07:39

I don’t think the Spencers are a good looking lot really, think Viscount Louis gets his looks from his mother!

Clionba · 21/06/2018 07:48

I think Louis, Kitty, Eliza and Amelia are very good looking! Certainly an attractive family.
