I thought it looked like rosacea. I imagine he is fond of lots of the triggers. (Am feeling a bit bad discussions his health on this lovely thread so I'll stop now!).

Late to the party but MM looking absolutely fantastic today! Quite breathtaking. I would love that coat.

DoC is a miss for me, a rarity in my eyes! Love the colour but not at all keen on the style.

That green dress Meghan is wearing is by Self Portrait.
I think it would look better styled with a white cardigan. The black jacket is too formal.
Their [[https://www.self-portrait-studio.com/collection/dresses current collection is more miss than hit.

I like the beige skirt and polo neck; it’s a real Carolyn Bessette Kennedy look.

Meanwhile, on the continent, Maxima is sporting a giant hat (and I'd love a better look at her dress), Sofia of Sweden is getting in on the pleated skirt action and Letizia is looking fab in red and white. I actually had a skirt not dissimilar to that one about 10 years ago!

Isn't the first red dress in your link the one Meghan wore with the tag still attached @CurlyWurlyTwirly?

It's hardly his fault he's lost his hair Sad.

I really dislike those Self Portrait dresses, all of them!

user1457017537 · 21/11/2018 19:33

PW could have a hair transplant though couldn’t he.

QueenOfTheAndals · 21/11/2018 19:36

@user1457017537 I like a few of them, but it's mostly the model's strange posture and sulky demeanour that puts me off!

Wow, those self portrait dresses. Not really going for the less is more approach there, are they? Confused

user1457017537 · 21/11/2018 19:40

I have never seen models modelling like that, almost like they are trying to put buyers off! The dresses are a bit to busy for my taste.

Clionba · 21/11/2018 19:41

A great look for Leti, I'm a real fan. She's worn the skirt a couple of times before, but it's good with the white blouse. That kind of outfit is smart without being too dressy.

Horsemad · 21/11/2018 19:47

Shock Good Lord those Self Portrait dresses are awful; there isn't a single nice one among them!

Spudlet · 21/11/2018 19:48

I like the maxi dress with the stars. But all those swagged, ruched numbers remind me of the sort of curtains I'd imagine Hyacinth Bucket would go for!

Clionba · 21/11/2018 19:51

Dear lord, those Self Portrait dresses are awful! What a miserable model - perhaps with good reason! I like Meghan's green one, but as pp said, they're otherwise ugly. Xx

Was there a memo on the Royal Ladies WhatsApp group this morning. "Right Ladies; let's shut those mumsnetters up.and wear berry today'"

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 21/11/2018 20:05

The model looks awful and you really have to trawl through.
However I like some of the single colour maxi dresses. With the right styling; they would suit both Kate & Meghan

For example Kate wore this dress which looks awful on the model but fabulous in real life.

I have to agree with Paradyning KM’s style is more often a miss than a hit for me too. Alternatively it is as predictable as the Queen’s coat and hat style, which is a shame given she isn’t yet forty.

Harry is going very bald too these days. There was a photo taken of his back as he walked into a room and it was very apparent.

DMBL40 is a big fan of Self Portrsit dresses. They look great on her. However she is very tall and very thin.

Meghan's Self Portrait dress on the Model

Both Meghan and Kate look better than the models! The green one is actually nice, but some of tomhem look like nylon bridesmaids dresses from 1981!

AhoyDelBoy · 21/11/2018 20:31

I love that green dress of Meghan's, it's one she should definitely bring out again next summer. Agreed, lovely dress and suits her perfectly.

’Paws like Pa’ Grin

It’s a rear miss from Kate for me as well. Agree with others the proportions look wrong. I like the colour though but also agree it would look better without the black.

I was a Trinny and Susannah fan back in the day as well. I used to get their books out from the library. I mentioned them some threads ago which made me think to look them up on instagram. Trinny’s face is absolutely stuffed to the brim with fillers! I think she’s always had them though hasn’t she Shock

Incredible that after 2 kids Sofia can get away with sunray pleats!
