Seeing as the Spencer wedding thread in S&B was so popular, here's a thread to discuss all royal fashion.

(If we could stick to critiquing the clothes rather than the women wearing them then that would be great!)

Do not like Pippa's outfit at all. They book like like maiden aunts!!! Did they not speak beforehand, obv not.

Like Meg in olive.

Charlotte and George look adorable.

WipsGlitter · 09/07/2018 17:22

Pippas dress has too much going on - buttons, collar, weird bust darts, strange waist.

Kate's headpiece is... interesting.

GrumbleBumble · 09/07/2018 17:24

I don't mind two people happening to wear similar coloured dresses but I suspect the blue is because of a twee "blue for a boy" idea so it's a no for me.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/07/2018 17:29

Pippa looks like a Victorian nanny! And I think that actually is the nanny in the photo with her.

Charlotte seems to have grown considerably since we last saw her at the Trooping.

@QueenOfTheAndals I think that's their cousin in the photo. Not the nanny.

WipsGlitter · 09/07/2018 17:34

Megan's a bit matchy - she's carrying gloves as well which seems a bit OTT Confused

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/07/2018 17:34

Ah ok, I thought it was Maria Teresa(sp?) the nanny.

I think Meghan definitely nailed it with her outfit. The olive suede heels are also fab and don’t look too matchy-matchy.

No its the cousin, I think its too high cut round the neck, it makes me feel claustrophobic

SleepingStandingUp · 09/07/2018 17:38

I wonder if MM was a bit Hmm when Harry explained she was meant to be in blue not green?

AlbertaSimmons · 09/07/2018 17:38

Pippa and the cousin look like Hinge and Bracket.

nervousnails · 09/07/2018 17:39

I really wish Meghan would wear something brighter. All these muted tones do not really show how beautiful she is.

Whitesea · 09/07/2018 17:40

MM is the only one of them with any sense of style. How is that even possible among a group of women in their thirties???

Pippa looks terrible, maybe it is payback for Kate looking so terrible at her wedding. Beatrice and Eug. are far more stylish than the Middleton sisters nowadays and I never thought I’d say that.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/07/2018 17:44

Meghan just looks effortlessly stylish today, the others look like they're trying too hard. Also Pippa and the cousin must be roasting in those outfits!

OlennasWimple · 09/07/2018 17:45

Maybe Pippa is struggling with stylish maternity wear (though there are lots of nice things out there these days)?

Kate looks like she had some kind of malfunction and had to go and rummage in the Queen Mum's trunks to find a hat to wear

I love Meghan's outfit though (from the glimpses I've seen so far)

Whitesea · 09/07/2018 17:49

That’s the thing isn’t it? In their desire to be different, they end up looking ridiculous. But fundamentally they are unstylish women.

Laiste · 09/07/2018 17:54

Bugger. No orange, yellow or salmon Grin

I thought the neck line of MMs dress was lovely, and she looked very polished. However the olive looked a bit drab. Perhaps it's my screen?

Kate's look is getting very queenly isn't it? She will be queen i know but ... i don't know. It's seems a bit too aging. I can't actually find a picture of her whole dress, the skirt is hidden behind the christening robe.

EdWinchester · 09/07/2018 17:59

Meghan looked gorgeous today. Pretty perfect apart from her pale tights.

Kate? Horrible, dowdy thing on her head, and I don’t like her hair up. Very aging. She’s seems to like puffed sleeves atm. Can’t think why.

Purpose dress was very unflattering, but a nice colour.

SenecaFalls · 09/07/2018 18:02

I love Meghan's dress and hat. The dress is Ralph Lauren.

EdWinchester · 09/07/2018 18:02
  • pippa’s
Laiste · 09/07/2018 18:02

Oh i've found a little video showing the rest of Kate's dress. That skirt swings beautifully when she moves and is knee length or just above. I'll let her off the 'orrible hat then Grin

petrolpump28 · 09/07/2018 18:02

Kate is absolutely beautiful.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 09/07/2018 18:03

Kate, again something a similar colour to the christening robe & again, McQueen.
The queen in blue. ( she wore blue for George and pink for Charlotte)
George and Charlotte in some coordinating blue outfit.
Camilla cream
Meghan beige ( trying to blend into background)
Carole Blue
Pippa cream
All men, Navy suits blue ties

I think I was pretty accurate; however christenings are quite predictable.

I’m probably the only one but I thought that shade of olive was foul on Meghan. Shape nice, hat & shoes nice. She needs to coordinate a bit with Harry. She will stick out like a sore thumb in the photos.

beanaseireann · 09/07/2018 18:10

Charlotte looks so different and George has stretched too.
Kate appropriate as always.
Pippa - gorgeous colour but weird fitting - as someone said upthread - too much going on.
William and Harry in matching blue suits.
Megan's olive/ khaki I can't see very well on the video posted. Those bloody tights.
