She is sticking to navy and black. They suit her. Her hair is slick again. No frizz today. I wonder if she actually uses some sort of oil? I’d like to elongate my own frizziness and would really like to know what she uses. I’m currently mid way through a twelve week blow dry and it was expensive.

Jackietheduck · 25/09/2018 18:27

Elongate? NO. I meant eliminate!!!

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/09/2018 18:30

Pictures of the dress. The slit isn't as high as it looks!

I always wonder about her hair routine too. She obviously has Brazilian blowdrys but there must be other magic afoot to keep her hair looking straight, healthy and unfuzzy. I have a very wavy hair and I find it hard to make mine as smooth as hers!

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/09/2018 18:35

I think it's called having your hair professionally blow dried before you leave the house every day!

Nice sleeves on her dress.

I gave up bothering with Brazilian blowdrys. I barely got four weeks out of the last one despite the salt-free shampoo etc.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 25/09/2018 18:47

Yes I was going to say nice sleeves too; chiffon with that little velvet band.
However rest of the dress is meh.
Skirt is too long and baggy. Slit ok; inverted pleat like a secretary and not a sexy one.
Worst bit is that weird velvet inverted V on her chest. Makes her bosom look matronly and I hate the round neck.
I know it’s her signature look, dress would look great with a boat neck, hair up, and some sort of choker necklace.

I only like the shoes, and they look like Altazurra

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/09/2018 18:51

She likes Altuzarra and Aquazurra - it gets a bit confusing!

I had no idea they were 2 different brands!

Kate and Meghan’s first solo engagements compared side by side

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/09/2018 19:10

I like Kate's dress there but I doubt we'll see her in anything so bare again.

She's walking really strangely again like at the polo. I really think her shoes must be one size larger

lightonthewater · 25/09/2018 19:36

I don't like the dress at all. Black again, and I don't like anything about it. I really don't think she dresses to flatter her figure.

Haggishaggispudding · 25/09/2018 19:39

How does she walk in those shoes? A size up or not, they’re so high!

Clionba · 25/09/2018 19:44

I don't know how either of them manage in those high spike shoes. I hope they have good food care. Meghan's hair is lovely again, make up spot on. Not keen on the dress which seems to make her hips and tum look larger. Maybe it's the angle? Anyway, she's confident and happy and certainly taking to being royal!

Clionba · 25/09/2018 19:45

foot care! Not food care Confused

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 25/09/2018 20:00

Not keen on that dress at all really don’t like the high round neckline and the dress just looks so shapeless on her.

dinosaurkisses · 25/09/2018 20:17

I don’t mind the dress, I just think the problem is that it was designed with someone with a fuller figure in mind. If Nigella Lawson or Kelly Brook wore it it would look completely different.

YearOfYouRemember · 25/09/2018 20:26

bean.......

Haven't read on past your post yet somsomeine May have said but there are photos on line of the Cambridges at the wedding .

MrsGrindah · 25/09/2018 20:28

We can’t persuade her to ditch the navy and black can we?!

YearOfYouRemember · 25/09/2018 20:46

I have read that Meghan wears shoes a size too big to avoid blisters.

WipsGlitter · 25/09/2018 20:50

She has a massive bunion as well. bunion

dinosaurkisses · 25/09/2018 21:09

@Wips I think that has to be the most bizarre Daily Mail article yet Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/09/2018 21:21

Anyone watching the ITV doc on the Queen?

I really like the dress and shoes and MM really looks fantastic. Very expensive, I don’t think MM is going to do High Street any time soon. She looks extremely stylish and polished and I love the diamonds
