Letizia and Felipe are making a state visit to Peru. I love her striped dress, and we've probably got a gown to look forward to later!

Ooo like that on Leti.

Those kimonos on the earlier link were stunning too.

Striped dress is lovely! State visit does that mean jewels?

Yes I think they bring the big guns tiaras out for state visits!

Re. nude shoes - I think suede works better - personally I have jimmy choo romys in nude.

Goodness this thread moves fast. I love those kimonos! I do not like the plum shoes though. Too old lady 1950s for me!

Anyone know who is responsible for the tiaras & jewels when the royals visit abroad - I couldn’t cope with the responsibility.

Did I see Camilla in nude shoes?

These are old lady shoes???

NOOOOoooo not those gorgeous creatures Queen! There were some square heeled thingies earlier. Those are to die for!!

I come on these threads to enjoy light-hearted chat about RF style and fashion, and thankfully that's mainly what dominates - afaik that's specifically what Queen set them up for.

I really can't be doing with groundless speculation about people's marriages, or about the details of people's diet and exercise regimens.

Letizia's black and white striped dress looks amazing on her. She is so stylish. I can imagine DofC in that dress actually.

The block heels are straight out or the 1970s IIRC - I fear that we're heading back to the bell bottom age. Even Kate wore massive flares dungarees for her Vogue shoot. Was it early last year?

she's a lost cause so, want2be.

love that stripy dress. I also love nearly every pair of shoes the DoS has worn. And equally nearly every pair (other than the boots and casual ones) the DoC wears look vaguely clumpy or stylelesseven when they shouldn't be (is it her feet - couldn't be?)

Hang on, Kate in dungarees?! What?

pallisers total lost cause. I was so nice to try and help twice. I mentor some young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. I do think like get the DvF foundation to donate work outfits. I offered to have her dressed by the DvF foundation team. Heck I'd love to be dressed by them!

I've just ordered 8 pairs of suede nude shoes in slightly different styles and colours. DH is away so he is going to be a little perplexed at what is going on when he sees the credit card transactions.

I loved Kate in those sandals, I want them. I really dont like any of Kate’s court shoes whatever the colour, the shape just looks wrong to me and dare I say it they look more Stead and Simpson than Jimmy Choo. Love Kate in these she really suits a proper glamorous shoe, pretty much love all of Meghans shoes she does get them right I think.

I've got lovely pair of patent nudes from Next. Really comfy and a lovely heel. I went for the same shade as my skin colour and they always make an outfit look well put together.

Ah sorry! The thread has moved on!

@MotherofPearl I totally agree with your view on the point of these threads. A little light speculation about how the RF do things or how people get on or get used to being part of the RF is fine but digging into their marriages and health not so much. Mainly though I'm here as miss those 'how to look expensive' threads and now I know how - marry a prince 😂.

@Spudlet It was when she was on the cover of Vogue. Nice enough clothes but a total waste if you ask me. They could've showcased some gorgeous gowns by British designers but instead went for something that looked more suited to Town & Country or Horse & Hound rather than Vogue.

I'm just going through a KM Vogue style retrospective off the back of that - no dungarees yet, but some v lovely dresses. www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/style-file-catherine-duchess-of-cambridge

And I thought this was a lovely picture too.

I love patent leather, which really works well in my climate. But it has to be the real thing, so a bit soft and crinkly.

I agree that Letizia looks great in that dress. It's Carolina Herrera.

Letizia wears a lot of Herrera doesn't she? And Hugo Boss. I guess if you find a designer that suits you then you stick with it!

Ladies and gentlemen look what I've found!!
